precompile does not precompile .css.less files

[kclair]

In my config/application.rb file, I'm adding files to config.assets.precompile, like so:

config.assets.precompile << 'tables.css.less'
config.assets.precompile << 'autosuggest.css'

When I run rake assets:precompile, the autosuggest.css file gets precompiled (shows up in public/assets), but tables.css does not.

Is this the expected behavior?

figured this out.

given the file tables.css.less

this works:

config.assets.precompile << 'tables.css'

this doesn't:

config.assets.precompile << 'tables.css.less'
