Error when adding and importing a css file in the react template #253

Closed abdallahz3 closed 7 years ago

abdallahz3 commented 7 years ago

an error occurs when adding a css file and importing it in a react component, and the error is "null code returned for "C:\Users\User\projects\project\src\components\App\App.css". Please raise an issue on 'electron-compile' with the contents of this file."

the error occurs even if the css file is empty and importing(i.e. just importing it)

How are you importing the file? Are you using less / scss or are you trying to import a css file into JS.

Importing CSS into a JS file is not supported, it is a webpack concept that does not translate into Electron development.

you are right, I am importing the css file directly, I did not know that. thanks

If you want to use CSS / LESS / SCSS you should use link tags like normal HTML

<link href="./path/to/file.less" rel="stylesheet" />
