CSS Variables

[McRaeSoftware]

When trying to use CSS variables the linter constantly displays the error "Expected RBRACE at line number, col number"

example CSS;

:root { /* these variables flag errors -> "Expected RBRACE at line number, col number"*/ --primaryColour: #23d5ab; --secondaryColour: #17a2b8; }

.example { background-color: Black; /*this line displayes error -> " Expected color but found 'var(--primaryColour)" */ color: var(--primaryColour); }
