Confused about 'main' and 'out' - need to compile one css from multiple files #49

Closed jjnxpct closed 4 years ago

jjnxpct commented 5 years ago

Hi! I am struggling to get my less compilation working the way I need. I hope someone can help me out.

I have a 'less' folder with multiple less files. The mail less file (main.less) imports all the other less files.

The output file needs to be a css file main.css. In the folder css.

ccs/main.css less/main.less (with @import for all other less files in the same folder) less/extrafile1.less less/extrafile2.less less/extrafile3.less

I did manage to compile the main.less to the main.css when I save main.less.

But when I open and save one of the 'imported' less files (for example extrafile1.less) I can;t get it to compile (trigger?) the main.less file and output the main.css.

Any thought on how I can get this working? Thanks.

Hi! This was actually not that hard ;-) I just couldn't get it to work because one of the files imported had an error )-;

Anyway, i just added this line at the beginning of all the imported less files:

//main: main.less

And that did the trick.
