Compile stopped working #107

Hello,

I had a strange issue. From one day to the other, the compiler stopped working. After a few hours, I got it to work with 2 dirty edit: 1) /main.js, in the documentSaved event, "EditorManager.getCurrentFullEditor().document !== document" always returned false - So I removed this condition 2) /node/LessCompiler.js - it didn't find less-plugin-clean-css so I changed it to var LessPluginCleanCSS = require('@wikimedia/less-plugin-clean-css'); I tried to install it globally but it didn't work

I don't know what happened, I haven't done windows or brackets updates I tried older versions of brackets and your plugin, nothing worked until I did these changes after tracking the bug.

Hi @metaladdict and sorry about the inconvenience. I fixed the bug that caused this. Please update the extension to 1.1.14 and you should be all set.

The same issue happened after updating. The less compiler just stopped working showing the error Error in file 'undefined' on line undefined: Operation on an invalid type. Still can't make it work.

Just tested it again with a clean install of the latest Brackets version (1.14.2-17770) and the latest version of the extension (1.1.14) on my Mac and it works. Please try reinstalling Brackets and the extension.

Just tried again with a clean install and realized that what's not working is actually the main feature. Using compress and out works, but when using main (most of my less files does) the above error appears.

Ok. I realize what the problem was. Just posting it in case anyone has the same issue. I had a mixin function using complex calc forms like this: My mixin:

.calc(@measure: left, @math: ~"100% - 10px") {
  @{measure}: -webkit-calc(@math);
  @{measure}: -moz-calc(@math);
  @{measure}: calc(@math);
}

Example usage .calc(@measure: height, @math: ~"100%" - @thumbH);

This used to be compiled but for some reason it doesn't now. So just changing those functions solved my issue.
