Don't know how it happened, but VS2013 + NTVS RC2 got itself in a tizzy, and the project as a whole kept trying to refresh itself, over and over. An obvious manifestation of this was if I expanded a node in the Solution Explorer (say the npm node, and its subnodes), then a second or two later the tree would be collapsed, and the project item would become the selected item in the Solution Explorer. I expand the tree... then it collapses, over and over.
Closing then re-opening VS didn't solve. Only by rebooting the machine did I get it to stop doing this. Now I can't repro it... but I thought I'd mention it anyway, in case someone else has seen something like this.
Comments: Ok, I know how to repro. Right-click on 'npm' in Solution Explorer, and select to update all installed modules. The project will refresh itself over and over until this is done. What must have happened when it refreshed over and over without stopping is that the whole process was severely lagged, or there were errors / retries. Maybe put the update process into a modal, with progress bar and Cancel button?
