Recompile the parent LESS file in Rails 3.2

I'm using the "less-rails" gem to get less integrated into my rails app.

In my "applications.css.less" file, I'm importing other LESS files into it. When I make a change to any of the imported files I need to re-save the "application.css.less" file in order for it to pick up the change.

How can I have the "applications.css.less" file recompile automatically when one of the imported files are changed?

Solution

  • My other less files were not going through the asset pipline. Once I fixed this and imported them into my "application.css.less" file, "application.css.less" began recompiling automatically when the other files changed.
