andreyfedoseev / django-less Goto Github PK

I want to include an external less file. I followed the instructions from your README and the css file is created in the LESS_CACHE folder and visible in the filesystem, but the django development server replies with a 404 - Not Found

This is my project: https://github.com/schmittlauch/chorplaner/tree/less

• the template where I want to use the less file is chor/templates/base.css

I know that using non ascii characters in css iles is rare but it is allowed and I had to do just that, sadly it breaks
offending line is located in less/templatetags/less.py:

    compiled_file = open(output_path, "w+")
    compiled_file.write(URLConverter(out, os.path.join(STATIC_URL, path)).convert())

I don't know how to repair it though

the error reads:

'ascii' codec can't decode byte

css can be anything with non ascii, mine is

 .external_link:first-child:before {
    content:"Zobacz także:";
}

When there is an error inside of compiled *.less file (e.g. syntax or include error), no exception is raised. Instead path to uncompiled *.less file is returned by {% less %} tag.

Hi, is there any way to use django-less with other templates than the default ones? I'm using jade-lang with pyjade, and there is no {% load less %} so sompiling less is not posible. Or is it?

If there is not, maybe you could consider supporting other templating engines in some "general" way.

Thanks.

After LESS_MTIME_DELAY, .less files with @include "<FILE>" do not register as needing to be recompiled if the imported file, but not the main file, has been changed.

Hello,

I am trying to use the template tag for a django application and while trying to setup my development environment on Mac OS X, the less tag is failing with:

[OS Error] No such file or directory

For my less file, which is on the directory i am indicating.
The issue is on line 47 of the less.py file.

I'm using Django 1.4.3 in development mode.

The structure of my project:

project/
    manage.py
    core/
        settings.py
        static/
            less-cache/ <---- I want LESS cache to go here
            admin/
                less/
                    base.less <---- the file I want to compile
        ...

settings.py

STATIC_ROOT = ''
STATIC_URL = '/static/'
STATICFILES_DIRS = (
    PROJECT_PATH + '/static/',
)
LESS_OUTPUT_DIR = 'core/static/less-cache/'

("core" is the name of my main application with settings.py).

If I do not specify LESS_OUTPUT_DIR, Django-Less generates LESS_CACHE in the root of my project (and not media root, as docs say...) so I have to point it to my actual static folder using LESS_OUTPUT_DIR.

The problem is:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="{{ STATIC_URL }}{% less "admin/less/base.less" %}" />

turns into

<link rel="stylesheet" href="/static/core/static/less-cache/admin/less/base-6792ecdf72ee.css" />

It gives 404, because in my case the URL should not contain the "core/static" part.

I'm not very experienced with static/media serving in Django (I just picked up those settings from one of the StackOverflow posts), but in my understanding if Django-Less offered a separate setting for URL path, I could easily solve my problem.

мне попался какой-то странный lessc, который выводил результат обратно в файл, эта ситуация никак не обрабатывается

I've got errors when I run django-less and django-coffeescript with python3 based django installation.

On Windows, my less files couldn't compile.
I found out that we must pass shell=True to subprocess to make it work properly on Windows.

(I explained it a bit here : http://stackoverflow.com/a/15617969/2198800)

The readme.rst contains the lines:
{% endless %}
For me it was throwing an error until corrected to {% endinlineless %}

I like the idea of your plugin. It is small and unobtrusive, exactly what I need. The only problem I experience is that lessc can not follow included less files like the ones which are coming with bootstrap.

Is there an easy remedy for this problem?
