Dynamic less library in packed mode about core

[nightwing]

Packed themes mode is on by default since compiling less is slow.
How do you launch cloud9 sdk, do you have any plugins installed?

[ludoo0d0a]

Even a fresh install leads to the same error.
I cleared ~/.c9, clone again github repo and run without plugins with the standard cmd

node server.js -p 8181 -l 0.0.0.0 -a :

Same trouble, no left panel, and the same error in console...
Same fix (clear style.css) to bypass this blocking issue.

How can i help you to give you further infos ?

[nightwing]

On which browser/os do you see this, and with which theme?
Also would be helpful if you could show me the stack of this error.

[ludoo0d0a]

Chrome 41 on Windows 8 in classic theme (default install ; but occured with all 3 themes)

What do you get when running require("text!plugins/c9.ide.ui/style.css") in the console
And do you have this file https://github.com/c9/core/blob/master/plugins/c9.ide.ui/style.css#L1
Can there be some proxy that removes comments from css files?

[ludoo0d0a]

I'm on the way to search something around a proxy (but not from side until now)
...but I recently add data saver plugin for Chrome (https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/data-saver-beta/pfmgfdlgomnbgkofeojodiodmgpgmkac)...

and yep, it is THE css cleaner..
it removes css comments....

could you find a proper workaround to bypass this ? a dummy css class ?

[nightwing]

We can rename that file to style.less
Btw if you want to reduce the size of downloaded files you can use ?packed=1

[ludoo0d0a]

For now i disable data saver,
but I tried ?packed=1 and I've got this error (even after a scripts/install-sdk.sh) :

Renamed css to less in 3f3f59b
The error is most likely because cached version in build/standalone/ folder is old. removing that folder should fix it. I'll add that to install-sdk.sh as well.
