stylelint breaks for font namespace?

Question

I have a file called foo.scss with contents:

.foo {
    font: {
        family: arial;
        weight: 600;
    }
}

Linting with stylelint 8.4.0 on the command line results in this output:

foo.scss 2:5 ✖ Cannot parse selector parseError

However, I expected this sass syntax to work since it's described in the sass documentation at https://sass-lang.com/documentation/file.SASS_REFERENCE.html#nested_properties

Answer 1

Upgrading to stylelint 9.4 (from 8.4) fixed my issue.
