Hi All,
Thanks in advance for your time and efforts.
9.3 MVC Core JQuery
Issue: This works on work dev machine but not home office machine and errors out as below. Was working 2 days ago, the package json is the same on both machines. The css file is exactly the same on both machines. Yarn lock has same version of jquery ui dist. bundles are the same on both machines.
It is creating the sample-report.min.css on my work machine - not on my home machine.
I am at a loss as to why it works on one and not the other and how to fix it.
Any help again, is greatly appreciated.
Have a safe and wonderful day.
Added to bundles:
{
"scripts": [
{
"output": "view-resources/Areas/App/Views/_Bundles/sample-report.min.js",
"input": [
"node_modules/jquery-ui-dist/jquery-ui.js",

"node_modules/devextreme/dist/js/dx.all.js",
"node_modules/@devexpress/analytics-core/dist/js/dx-analytics-core.js",
"node_modules/devexpress-reporting/dist/js/dx-webdocumentviewer.js"
]
},
....
"styles": [

"node_modules/@devexpress/analytics-core/dist/css/dx-analytics.light.css",
"node_modules/devexpress-reporting/dist/css/dx-webdocumentviewer.css"
]
},
...
added to package.json:

Hi @dexmox
Do you use yarn or npm for installing packages ? If you used npm, could you remove node_modules folder and use yarn to install packages. If that doesn't work, you can try deletinh yarn.lock file and re-install packages again.

Hi @ismcagdas,
Thanks for getting back to me :)
I have deleted node_modules, tried both npm and yarn seperately - deleted yarn lock and package lock files to ensure clean re-builds.
I clean installed node.js on my work dev machine and it also failed with same error. Reverting to an earlier node.js/npm version on work machine and then running npm run create-bundles completed without error - but did not re-create the jquery-ui.css file).
I downloaded a clean ANZ template and imported the same packages then tried npm run create-bundles and it also failed with same error.

Hi,
Could you share your Node and NPM versions ? I can try to reproduce this on my environment.
Thanks,

Just putting the solution here for anyone else with this issue.
@ismcagdas said:
It seems like gulp-less doesn't have a solution for this.
We suggest you copy the related css file to your wwwroot folder, change its content (remote related line which starts with Alpha ) and use it instead of using it from node_modules.
As I can see, jquery-ui is not used in AspNet Zero anymore.
Thanks for the help @ismcagdas :) have a great day!
