Why do I need to enable Javascript? --solved--

[Dagur]

Hi

I'm upgrading less from 2.7.1 to 4.1.3

I had to make some minor changes to my less files but mostly it was fine. There's one error that I couldn't get rid of though which was Inline JavaScript is not enabled. Is it set in your options?.

I changed the webpack config to enable javascript and then everything compiled without complaints but why did I need to do that if it worked fine before? We don't have any inline javascript as far as I know, only a few macros.

I figured this out. There was a macro that was using a regex (and therefor javascript). The error reporting from less wasn't great because it complained where a macro that used this macro was being used.

Maybe you can check the Changelog of less.js ?

I just looked at https://github.com/less/less.js/releases which mentions of couple of breaking changes but not this.

Apparently javascript was enabled by default until version 3
