Unable to use less.render to build CSS

[cipchk]

To install the ng-zorro-antd dependency in a new Angular project:

And add test.js, after run node ./test.js:

const less = require('less');

const themeContent = `
@import 'ng-zorro-antd/style/themes/default.less';

body {
  color: @primary-color;
}
`;

less.render(themeContent, {
  paths: ['node_modules/']
}).then(data => {
  console.log('css => ', data.css);
}).catch(e => {
  console.log(e);
});

Returns an error:

LessError: Cannot find module 'node_modules/ng-zorro-antd/style/color/tinycolor2'

It seems that @plugin doesn't support require. It's normal for files like bezierEasing.js not to use require. However, for plugins like tinyColor.js and colorPalette.js, tinycolor2.js cannot be found.

You can try making the following changes:

less.render(themeContent, {
  paths: [__dirname + '/node_modules/'] // <-- add __dirname
}).then(data => {
  console.log('css => ', data.css);
}).catch(e => {
  console.error(e);
});
