About the debug mode known issue - suggestion

[florent-blanvillain]

Hello,

In debug mode, lesscss-resources serves raws less files, but IMHO, I can't find any interest in this. My point is that .less files should be rendered, even in debug mode.

I had a similar discussion with Francis McKenzie, one of the author of gsp-resources plugin. For that plugin, there was no point in not processing, for example, xxx.css.gsp in xxx.css in debug mode. He felt agree with me and found a way to do this: https://github.com/mckenfra/gsp-resources/commit/5a8930fe44ce96d91039e275d63f4624ab5df74d

For me, the main reason to use debug mode is to enable in-browser debugging, as resources are not bundled, nor minified. Before using lesscss plugin, I was always using resources debug mode while in dev execution environment. And this way of doing is suggested in the resources plugin doc : "You can specify this value per-environment in your Config." http://grails-plugins.github.com/grails-resources/guide/8.%20Debugging.html

What do you think? Best regards, Florent.

webdev workflow is painful working with edits to imported .less files not triggering rebuilt .css
