error while specifying variables in CSS3 ; Expected RBRACE. This rule looks for recoverable syntax error
:root{ --nvctheme-color: #3f1a67; --nvcthemelight-color: #5f259e; }
this is the code I am using to define website theme color as a variable but in CSSlint it is showing error
ERROR: Expected RBRACE at line 17, col 3. This rule looks for recoverable syntax errors. (errors) Browsers: All
Experiencing this as well.
Yup, same here
The parser doesn't know how to handle CSS Variables as far as I know.
Happens with me too.
Support for css variables has landed in all major browsers except ie11. csslint
should support it!
Same issue here. Don't know why, but when trying to use /* csslint ignore:start / and / csslint ignore:end */ I can't get rid of errors inin CodeMirror (uses CSSLint 1.0.4). Has anyone managed to use the ignore to get rid of the css variables errors?
@vrosu Nope, same issue as described above, really annoying. Ignoring doesn't seem to help.
Ran into this issue this morning, Visual Studio won't publish css with this error, even though the pages run just fine locally.
This is a 6 month old bug, and it hasn't been addressed. If it is too hard to properly write rules to properly identify this use case, then turn off validation checking for empty rules so you don't break things while you get your logic sorted out.
Kinda irritated that I have to fight with csslint to get work done, it is costing more time than it is saving...
landed here from a search. Have a WordPress site going and the editor didn't like my variable (expected RBRACE).
Is this still an issue?
yep. Here is lines 1-8 of a css sheet:
:root { --accent1: #777777; --accent2: #cccccc; --Background1: #000000; --Background2: #000044; --Background3: #000055; }
gives the following errors:

I have the same problem, it gives no error in appveyor client test but in visual studio where my backend included I see errors like above for my variables.css :root{ --accent-color: #5491db; --nav-back-color:#353b44; ... } Anyone can help please?
@parak80 There's not really anything you can do. It's an issue with CSSLint. This issue has been open for over a year.
Speaking of which, are there any Pull Requests addressing this issue?
https://github.com/CSSLint/parser-lib/pull/248 got opened a few days ago.
Looks like the parser-lib PR is in limbo as the contributor is not working on it anymore. :(
Anything new on this ?
I've opened a pull request to fix this, in case we want to avoid #754.
I'm happy to merge it, but I don't have the power to make an official release for neither parser-lib nor csslint itself.
For what it's worth- If my .css files is closed then the .net solution is buildable without the errors
WTF!!! We are living in 2019 and still struggling with this? I hate visual studio.
@tahaygun I am equally frustrated, but I don't think this has anything to do with Visual Studio.
@BrandonDyer64 probably you are right. I jumped from vscode to visual studio and really hated it.. So I can't afford anything about it. I go crazy every time when I face with a problem.
Also got this error with a WordPress site.
@BrandonWingerAir Could you get rid of this error? I also got this error is my CSS files within WordPress...
I'm happy to merge it, but I don't have the power to make an official release for neither parser-lib nor csslint itself.
@nschonni Can you make a release?
I'm still confused and in need of help for this
@Ademord I have no hope of solving this problem. The last significant commit was made in 2017. Everything looks like the project is abandoned and dead.
Codacy, which I think uses CSSLint, has this issue too.
I am facing this as well. Probably, I will turn off the CSS Lint. I am tired.
@nschonni Pinging you, as you're listed in the @CSSLint organization and actively contributing to other linters. Do you know CSSLint's current maintenance status?
