404 in production mode when main CSS is a LESS file

[dwightwatson]

I've come across an issue where if your main CSS file (application.css) is instead a LESS file called application.css.less with require_self, it doesn't compile properly in production and instead 404s.

The workaround I'm using is to move all my LESS styles to another stylesheet and then require it using the Sprockets format, but it doesn't seem as this should be a problem to start with.

Hey @dwightwatson are you still seeing this issue?

[dwightwatson]

Let me give it a shot now, I've since switched back to using application.css (on master-dev if that makes a difference).

Yeah, still getting it...

[2013-11-21 02:34:31] log.ERROR: exception 'Codesleeve\AssetPipeline\Exceptions\InvalidPath' with message 'Cannot find given path in paths: application.css' in /Users/Dwight/Sites/laravel/vendor/codesleeve/asset-pipeline/src/Codesleeve/AssetPipeline/SprocketsBase.php:74

@dwightwatson if I create a file named application.css.less this works... when I do `<?= stylesheet_link_tag() ?>

/**
 *
 *= require_tree .
 */

html {
    body {
        background-color: red;
    }
}
