Codekit freezing up, never finishing compile of LESS file #671

Closed parisvega closed 11 years ago

parisvega commented 11 years ago

Got the spinning wheel of death, and an everlasting progress bar in CodeKit when trying to compile a LESS file.

I checked my activity Monitor and there were 2 processes called "node" taking up most of up computers resources. After killing those processes my computer performed better.

There are several possibilities:

1) A corrupt data file. To fix this, quit CodeKit and then relaunch it while holding down the shift key. This will clear out all existing projects and give you a fresh start.

2) An infinite import loop in your Less file. That is, File A imports File B, which imports File A. Make sure that's not going on here.

3) Browser plugins / conflicting apps: are you watching a folder in CodeKit that's being managed by a service like SugarSync or Dropbox?

Infinite import loop! (face palm) Fixed.

Would be awesome if there was a notification of some kind when/if that happens.

Thanks for the advice!
