#201869

We recently upgraded JA_obelisk to 1.1.0 and T3 to 2.3.2.

When I attempt to compile Less from the template manager, I get the error listed below.

I have done a source search within the template folder for cannot find any file containing this line

`.buttonBackground(@btnPrimaryBackground, @btnPrimaryBackgroundHighlight);`

I have checked the variables.less file and the 2 colors in the expression are defined in variables.less

@btnPrimaryBackground: @linkColor;
@btnPrimaryBackgroundHighlight: lighten @linkColor, 10%);

Any suggestions as to how I can proceed?

1. I tested in my end but didn’t face this issue. It seem this is a problem at your end only.

2. The code

.buttonBackground(@btnPrimaryBackgroundHighlight, @btnPrimaryBackground);

is contained in 2 files:
/less/form.less
/less/joomla.less

3. You can try with the less folder in attachment

Thanks for your prompt reply.

I have exact copies of all the files you sent in my less folder with the exception of my custom less file and my theme.

I have attached the files. Would you please see if there is anything in these files which is creating the problem.

Can you recommend steps I should take to debug the problem?

I can compile with your my-custom.less and theme without any error.
a. http://prntscr.com/4u3ufk
b. http://prntscr.com/4u3uhd

As this issue only occurs after upgrading to T3 2.3.2 . I would like to suggest you to try:
1. Compiling LESS to CSS without your customized less files

2. If you still face issues, backing-up your site and re-installing the T3 2.3.2

Also, if you use our JA Extensions Manager to upgrade the T3, there is option to roll-back to the previous version

Thanks for your help.

I have run several tests and discovered that the problem is with the JA_Obelisk version 1.1.0 template.

Fortunately we have a version using JA_obelisk 1.0.3 which works. I upgraded everything (Joomla to 3.3.6, T3 to 2.3.2) and tested and it runs fine.

When I upgraded to ja_obelisk 1.1.0, the Less will no longer compile.

Therefore I conclude the problem is with the template upgrade 1.1.0

It’s strange, I can compile your customized less files with the template version 1.1.0 and T3 2.3.2 without any error.

Can you provide detailed steps so that I can re-produce your issue at my end to check.
