Variable Name Error “is undefined” even though “variables.less” imported

Question

I started using LESS today. But it\'s kinda weird. This code does not work. I get an error:

! Variable Name Error: @linkColor in a is undefined.

Answer 1

You can also get this error if you are trying to import the file twice (not a good idea) and the first import is before your variables referenced in your.less file have been loaded

Note: I'm using django compress

in index.html i had:

{% compress css %}


{% endcompress %}

then in styles.less i had

...
@import "timepick.less";
