Less not found in production

[mikehm]

My css is broken when I deploy my app to the production site. This is the error I am getting:

mysiteurl/app.less 404 (Not Found) .

Its weird however, when I deploy the app on github I don't have this problem.

I tried to find solutions elsewhere but to no avail. Let me know what could be causing this please.

Thanks.

It's obviously not found :-)
You can make the build verbose with "grunt build --verbose --stack".

This is what the console gave me after making the build verbose:

Running "less" task

Running "less:production" (less) task
Verifying property less.production exists in config...OK

Files: app.less -> temp/app.css
Options: (none)
Reading app.less...OK
Writing temp/app.css...OK
File temp/app.css created.

Still not sure why app.less is missing and the css is broken.

Do you need to install less on the production server?

The grunt build will compile all the less into css. When you build, it should create a fully optimized build int the /dist directory. There should be no references left to any less files in that optimized build. Either something is going wrong during the build or you're not deploying the correct thing.

Thanks resolved. It was a deployment error.
