In the process of updating my nuget packages for BundleTransformer.Less from 1.9.20 to 1.9.143 my application's styles no longer appeared correctly.

I tracked the issue to less not compiling a file because of the order of variable declaration and use. My understanding of less says you can define a variable after using it, but it is no longer the case for me. I am able to reproduce with something as simple as 

html {
    color : @test;
}

@test:green;

Which works in online less sandboxes for me.

My app builds and serves up the .less file when requested without error, but the contents of the file is just 

variable @test is undefined on line 17 in file '/icons.less':
 [16]: html{
 [17]:     color : @test;
       ------------^
 [18]: }

What part of compilation would suddenly enforce a requirement about variable orders?

  • Seems pretty likely to be a bug introduced in the version gap. If you are working with languages like LESS, you should use proper build tools. – Aluan Haddad May 23 '17 at 03:21

    I'd say that this is not a question for stack overflow - this is a bug you should report to the package creators – Robert Petz May 23 '17 at 18:48
