Thanks @morgoth, I'm having some trouble reproducing -- can you provide a bit more information (an example project would be ideal), but hoping this would be enough:

  • Your Gemfile & Gemfile.lock
  • Your config.rb
  • Basic project structure (mainly which path application.css.less is at)

I created fresh middleman project (4.1.1) by middleman init and the error is the same
Gemfile:

gem 'middleman', '>= 4.0.0'
gem 'less'
gem 'therubyracer'
gem "middleman-sprockets", github: "middleman/middleman-sprockets"

config.rb is not changed at all.
source/stylesheets/site.css.less

body {
  color: red;
}

Awesome, thanks -- got that reproducing now (not sure why my initial test case wasn't catching it).

Unfortunately it looks like sprockets has dropped less support with 3.x sstephenson/sprockets#547. For most things I think the built in less support of middleman should be good -- and in general we shouldn't be using sprockets for assets it doesn't support.

Thanks for the report!

@morgoth now that I've merged #93 this should be resolved, please re-open and let me know if you continue to see issues.
