Combres and DotLessCssFilter

Question

Well in the short term I can't get it to work. The filter does not seem to apply it itself.

I am trying to get combres to work with my shaving application MVC 3. And I have everything to work except DotLessCssFilter.

The documentation states In order to apply a filter to your resource sets, you need to modify your Combres config file

I changed combres.config as follows:

<combres xmlns='urn:combres'>
    <filters>
        <filter type="Combres.Filters.DotLessCssFilter, Combres" acceptedResourceSets="dotLessCss" />
    </filters>
    <resourceSets url="~/combres.axd" defaultDuration="30" defaultVersion="1" defaultVersionGenerator="Combres.VersionGenerators.Sha512VersionGenerator">
        <resourceSet name="siteCss" type="css">
            <resource path="~/UI/Styles/1140.css" />
            <resource path="~/UI/Styles/typeimg.css" />
            <resource path="~/UI/Styles/layout.css" />
        </resourceSet>
        <resourceSet name="siteJs" type="js">
            <resource path="~/UI/Scripts/opt/util.js" />
            <resource path="~/UI/Scripts/opt/core.js" />
        </resourceSet>
    </resourceSets>
</combres>

And it combines files and minimizes them.

In one of my files, I have a simple syntax:

@sprite: url(/ui/styles/sprite.png);

.foo {
  background-image: @sprite;
}

But it seems like he never missed a filter.

I don't know if this is an MVC problem or a general one.

Has anyone successfully used this filter?

Nothing! (EDIT)

Answer 1

Skipped acceptedResourceSets="dotLessCss"it should have the correct resource name, so in my case:

acceptedResourceSets="siteCss"

ResourceSets, .

Combres.xml , POC (. ):

    <!-- This filter allows you to define variables in a CSS file and reuse them throughout the file. -->
    <filter type="Combres.Filters.HandleCssVariablesFilter, Combres" />
    <!-- This filter changes Combres order of ops so that common css variables can be defined in a single
         file and used throughout multiple css files, instead of having to define them in each file. -->

Variables.css:

@sprite: url('~/Content/ui/styles/sprite.png');

Test1.css:

.fooTest1 {background-image: @sprite;}

Test2.css:

.fooTest2 {background-image: @sprite;}

( Firebug.NET):

.fooTest1{background-image:url("/Content/ui/styles/sprite.png")}.fooTest2{background-image:url("/Content/ui/styles/sprite.png")}
