Module build failed (from ./node_modules/less-loader/dist/cjs.js):

@theme: @@element;

Recursive variable definition for @placeholder
      in ..\node_modules\semantic-ui-less\theme.less (line 9, column 8)

Been getting this error with the 2.4.1 release and am trying to figure out what this means.

@import (multiple) "~semantic-ui-less/theme.less";

I do have the proper import.But I am just not sure where this error is coming form?
Any suggestions to tackle this error?

This is still an issue in May 2019. Thanks for the answer, @sinau123.

Try to merge the content of your theme.config with the example version provided in npm. This fixed for me the issue.

Same issue for @emoji in 2.8.4. With same solution.

The tips here saved me hours of head scratching. Thanks!
