LESS support (latest version, for twitter bootstrap 2)

[lnbogen]

Hi dirkmc,

Until now, I worked with less 0.9.1.
I want to use press but I have conflicts with versions (less 0.9.1 links to rhino-1.7R3.jar).

Any idea when a new version that supports less, with the latest engine (lesscss-engine-1.3.0.jar) ?

Thanks,
Oren

Hi, I'm planning to make press much more modular so it will be possible to add support for other engines as well, such as stylus and sass.
I'm going to say that I'll do it by the end of the week to put a bit of pressure on myself, otherwise I'll never get round to it. Please complain if it's not done by then :)

[lnbogen]

That would be amazing! Thanks!

Hi dirckmc, (quietly) complaining :)

[dirkmc]

When I said the end of the week, I meant the end of this week :)

Hi dirckmc, is there a way to do a quick get-around myself (at least to make it to play nicely with less 0.9.1)?

[dirkmc]

Hi, I'm working on making the change now. Hopefully it will be done by tomorrow.

I've deployed the latest release to the module repo, version 1.0.27.
Please try it out and let me know how you go.

Great, thanks! Will report...

I still see that you're using and old less engine (we're using lesscss-engine-1.3.0.jar to support twitter's bootstrap 2).
In addition, there is still clash with less 0.9.1 module. As I've mentioned, less 0.9.1 uses rhino-1.7R3.jar and there is some conflict. What do you recommend doing?

[some background]
An easy way to reproduce it is to set up an application with dependencies.yml to include both press 1.0.27 and less 0.9.1.
We're pretty happy with less module for the css part, it handles combining, minification is less important due to gzip.
We want to use press to handle our js combining/minifcation (and obviously versioning).

Oh I didn't realize I was using an old less engine, I just used the one that another person who made a pull request put in there. If I used a newer version of the less engine jar will that solve the problem? Or will it still have a conflict with less?
I guess in that case you could just use press instead of the less module

[dirkmc]

Ok I've updated the version of the less library to 1.3.0. Try out the latest version of press, 1.0.29

[lnbogen]

were you able to run a local application with both dependencies:

• play -> less 0.9.1
• play -> press 1.0.29

?

[dirkmc]

I haven't tried it.. did you try it and have a problem? I've updated to less-engine-1.3.0

[dirkmc]

I tried less-0.9.1 and press-1.0.29 and it seems to work fine
