Hi.
I love your plugin so much I have started to add to all of my sites. Everything was going smoothly, but I have hit an issue.
On a site I am using LESS on (less js - still in development phase), all pages work fine, but 2. On two pages the CSS isn’t rendered.
I tried compiling the LESS thinking it might of been a less issue, but it still doesn’t work on those two pages.
If I disable Minimee it works.
In the debugging mode Minimee doesn’t show any errors….
Any ideas?

Hi ccdavies,
Thanks for digging Minimee! :)
I don’t know if Minimee will play nice with LESS.js - LESS.js is run in the browser, after Minimee has already compressed & minified the CSS. I’m not 100% sure how LESS.js runs, but Minimee writes the cache filenames with a *.css extension, so it might mean that LESS.js is passing over this file and not processing it.
While I have built a beta version of a Minimee+LESS extension, it has some significant drawbacks and I do not recommend using it. I would look into something like Codekit to process your less files for you.
But let’s see what your setup is and be sure there isn’t anything else wrong: Could you copy-and-paste the part of your EE template that contains the Minimee tags?
Cheers,
John

Hi John.
The thing is, I compiled the LESS to CSS and issue still occurred…
Here is my code with Minimee tags:
{exp:minimee:css}
<link rel="stylesheet/less" type="text/css" href="/-/css/cross-browser.less">
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/-/css/fancybox.css">
{/exp:minimee:css}
{exp:minimee:js}
[removed][removed]
{/exp:minimee:js}
[removed]
head.js("https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.8.0/jquery.min.js")
.js("https://code.jquery.com/ui/1.9.0/jquery-ui.js")
.js("{exp:minimee js='/-/js/less.js'}")
.js("{exp:minimee js='/-/js/form.js'}")
.js("{exp:minimee js='/-/js/timing.js'}")
.js("{exp:minimee js='/-/js/retina.js'}")
.js("{exp:minimee js='/-/js/fancybox.js'}")
.js("{exp:minimee js='/-/js/scripts.js'}");

Hi ccdavies,
Are you saying that you locally compiled the LESS to CSS (i.e. using a desktop compiler such as Codekit), had Minimee minify & combine that CSS file, and none of the styles showed in your browser? Could it be a problem with how you’ve configured Minimee, do you configure via the Extension or bootstrap?
The code example you gave will definitely not work - as I said, Minimee is going to process your files prior to being sent to the browser, at which point LESS.js will have nothing to run.
Cheers,
John

Hi John. Permission to slap me! I just tried again (realising I was likely taking up your precious time) and it worked… I swear I must have tried it 10 times… :)
Strange you say it wouldn’t work with LESS, as somehow (god knows) its working on 3 development sites I am running right now… Magic?

LOL… well I suppose I don’t know exactly how LESS.js works, so cool! Glad it is working now, but let me know if it happens again and I’ll try to help.
Cheers,
John
