syntax errors fail silently about less-rails HOT 3 CLOSED

That is a feature of (1) less itself, then (2) tilt which is under (3) sprockets which renders a page using tilts parse errors. So it should work just fine. I do not know of any configuration values to make it happen either. Should be on by default.

I just did a check with lessc at the command line and no errors. So perhaps less does not report errors? I'll have to investigate further. This could be a bug with Less.js or Less.rb.

There is a problem with the less GEM

----------------------
gems/less-2.0.9/lib/less/parser.rb
----------------------
62     def parse(less)
63       calljs do
64         error,tree = nil
65         @parser.parse(less, lambda {|e, t|
66           error = e; tree = t
67         })
68         raise Exception.new(error.message) if error
69         Tree.new(tree) if tree
70       end
71     end

Adding the highlighted line on line 68 in the gem work brilliantly. However
I think this is the wrong place for this and it is a work around not a fix but
it helps me at the moment port all my files from scss to less :)

I'm gonna close this ticket as I think this issue (cowboyd/less.rb#19) on less.rb addresses. it. If not and I am blocking that or need to do anything with less-rails, please let me know and I'll open this ticket up. Cheers! BTW, I love Jasminerice. Been doing a series of articles on it as I test my upcoming project using Spine.JS. Cheers!
