Less plugs pipe?

[mandulaj]

When used with gulp-connect like this:

var plumber = require('gulp-plumber');
var less = require('gulp-less');
var connect = require('gulp-connect');

//...
gulp.task("less", function() {
  gulp.src(paths.less)
    .pipe(plumber())
    .pipe(less())
    .pipe(gulp.dest("build/css"))
    .pipe(connect.reload()); // should reload the browser
});
//....

... the browser never gets reloaded.

When the .pipe(less()) is omitted, the browser reloads fine. Thus it must be a less problem.

Also having this problem -

gulp.task('less', function(){
gulp.src('./css/less/*.less')
    //.pipe(less())
    .pipe(gulp.dest('./css/compiled'))
    .pipe(notify("Less compiled."));
});

With pipe(less()) commented out the css files are outputted to the /css/compiled directory, but if I uncomment this line no css files are generated

Turns out my problem was a syntax error in the less file, didn't realise the error is silently swalllowed. Used gulp-util to log the error.

var util = require('gulp-util');

gulp.src(less_paths)
    .pipe(less()).on('error', util.log)

I am using gulp-plumber for that. I strongly recommend it!!
