cannot setup lessphp in symfony2

Question

following on from this thread I have been asked to try to implement lessphp to see if its compatible with the current build of the commercial application (it wasnt when it was originally developed).

Ive installed the bundle with composer successfully and set up config as per instructions as follows:

filters: lessphp: file: %kernel.root_dir%/../vendor/leafo/lessphp/lessc.inc.php apply_to: "\.less$" # Formatter options: compressed, lessjs, classic formatter: "compressed" preserve_comments: false

Ive confirmed that the less main class is loading fine with a good ol' die statement.

but Im getting the following error when trying to assetic/dump.

Fatal error: Call to undefined method Assetic\Filter\LessphpFilter::setLoadPaths() in C:\Dropbox\xampp\htdocs\SBSonline\sbsonline-v2\app\cache\dev\appDevDebugProjectContainer.php on line 118

could anyone help please? I have a feeling that Im missing something obvious but I cant find it.

Answer 1

ok weird.

according to the documentation for lessphp there should have been a function obviously called ::setLoadPaths().

It wasnt there so Ive added it manually.

Its now trying to parse the files.
