@import "file.css" from asset pipeline

[rweng]

Hi,

maybe it's too late and I don't see the obvious:

I have two projects that use

 less-rails (2.3.2)
      less (~> 2.3.1)

However, one project includes @import "morris.core.css"; during assets:precompile, the other leaves it and thus tries to fetch it in production mode.

The files are named the same (application.less), production config is same, and I tried to clear cache at both files with no success. Which one is the "normal" behavior? Any idea why the projects could differ?

Help is greatly appreciated :)

Alright, I am still not sure why it fails in the one project and works in the other. I know less itself just keeps @import *.css, but I thought less-rails substitutes with the help of the asset pipeline.

Anyhow, the workaround is putting all your sprocket css files in a sprocket.css, add this to asset pipeline precompile list and then include this css. It will still remain a normal @import after precompilation, but at least this file can then be resolved and included at runtime.
