I have set up my IDE to show JS Intellisense based on references set in _references.js (http://blog.craigtp.co.uk/post/Javascript-jQuery-Intellisense-in-Visual-Studio-2012.aspx). In doing so, you have to set JavaScript IntelliSense Reference Group to “Implicit (Web)”, which I’ve done. For some time, it works beautifully.
However, after some seemingly random amount of time (could be hours or days, but not usually more than a day or so), my JS IntelliSense stops working. When I go back to the Reference Group settings, I find that the Reference Group has reverted back to “Implicit (Windows)”.
Does anyone else have that problem? What might be causing that, or is this a bug in VS2012 (this is the released version)?
Thanks!
Not sure why it changes on you but I found that this trick still works when set to Windows if you manually add the reference to ~/scripts/references.js
