Can't build since update

[jankapunkt]

I think this is a bug

I updated Meteor to 1.11.1 (also tried 1.12.0) and now I can't build anymore. Dev build is still fine, meteor reset did no effect. The biggest problem is, that the error output is not helpful in finding the source of the error.

It stops at minification with the following error output:

While minifying app stylesheet:
<input css 22>:5185:5: Lexical error on line 1: Unrecognized text.

Erroneous area:
1: -5px - 0 !important
^...........^

Now I have nowhere any -5px - 0 !important in my whole project nor did I change anythin in the scss files.

My build packages are

[email protected]
fourseven:[email protected]
seba:[email protected]

scss linter passes, too and if replacing seba:minifiers-autoprefixer with standard-minifier-css it throws nearly the same error but with standard-minifier-css in the paths. I therefore assume the error to be related to this package.

Hi @jankapunkt 👋 -- Just wondering, did you ever find a resolution or a workaround for this issue? We saw something similar in our app on an attempt to upgrade to version 1.12.

I think the compiler fails at the slightest thing. We had a fix where commented all scss and uncommented line by line until we found a missing definition

Ah, that sounds painful, but... good to know! Thank you for following up 👍
