@tandu does it work if you escape the backslash ?

[tandu]

If I put 2 backslashes angular2-seed production escapes unicode properly but in dev it start to behave incorrectly. I think you should add regexp that puts extra backslashes before unicode backslashes in css.

[ludohenin]

OK I'll do that.

[ludohenin]

Is this still valid ?

[tandu]

I think yes. I have changed my css to not use unicode so this issue doesn't affect my code anymore.

[hjalmers]

Any plans for a fix? I can confirm that this issue is still valid.

[ludohenin]

I actually have no idea how to fix that. Is it just to escape backslashes ?

I'm also experiencing this problem. Is there a workaround or a solution to this problem yet?

[ludohenin]

You can escape the characters using the stypeProcessor function. Before I push something, I'd like to know if this is just a matter of escaping the backslashes or if this is more complex. Feedback appreciated.

[henninga]

So far it is just about escaping backslashes, for me at least

[tandu]

The problem is that it behaves differently in dev compared to prod. It needs consistent behavior.

this is what I did for a workaround with the style processor. I am guessing this will break once the issue is fixed though.

function styleProcessor(ext,file,cb){
    file = file.replace(/\"\\/g,'"\\\\');
    cb(null,file);
}
