variable @scale-base is undefined about order.less HOT 6 CLOSED

Hi Chris,

I am confused: the error message says @scale-size is undefined, while you keep referring to @scale-base. The @scale-size variable is exported by .get-scale-size() which in turn is used by .font-size() and .use-baseline-grid(), if you pass a unitless number as the first argument.

Hope that helps.

@chromice Thank you for the reply. The error message is for @scale-base, I had a typo in my original response. I've corrected the error message above.

Is the @scale-base variable not accessible because of scoping?

from order.less.

@chromice I am able to replicate this error in a Codepen example, shown here: http://codepen.io/cbracco/pen/RNpgGg?editors=110

from order.less.

@cbracco Thanks for the test case! Codepen is using v1.7.5 (http://codepen.io/versions/) which either seem to have a bug or the version of cider I'm drinking is not compatible with it. ;-)

What version of Less are you using? Are you using the browser or command line variety?

from order.less.

@cbracco I've just tested all versions of Less and the minimum version supported is 2.0.0 I will probably bump it to 2.2.0 very soon.

from order.less.

@chromice nailed it! That was the problem. The version of gulp-less that I was using depended on a pre-2.0.0 version of Less. I upgraded gulp-less to the latest version, which subsequently upgraded its Less dependency to 2.2.0, and everything is peachy now. 👍

Thanks again for your help!
