Error: Didn't get a result from child compiler

[itayganor]

When I try to import another file from a .less file, I receive the following error:

ERROR in ./src/index.less
Module build failed (from (webpack)-css-themes-plugin/src/loader/index.js):
ModuleBuildError: Module build failed (from (webpack)-css-themes-plugin/src/loader/index.js):
Error: Didn't get a result from child compiler

Reproduction: https://github.com/itayganor/webpack-css-themes-plugin-reproduction

run start or build-dev.

To get rid of the message, remove the line:

@import './assets/fonts/Lato/Lato.css';

from ./client/src/index.less, and it will work.

Any idea why?

we can'not import css in less file now, change Lato.css => Lato.less to make it work temporary

I will fixed it later

Thanks! The same issue happens when I try to import *.module.less :/ Do you have any direction for solving it? I might try too

@itayganor after investigate I found you should import css file in less by

@import (less) './assets/fonts/Lato/Lato.css';

does this also resolve your *.module.less problem?

Yes, it does. Awesome.

Can this be forced through the plugin? (add (less) when it's not there)

import css directly in less is not support by less but it did support in webpack without this plugin.

auto add (less) seem a little hack and will need some work, sorry I won't support it currently
