That's my css/source file structure:
https://i.stack.imgur.com/5tNxJ.png



I made grunt clean, theme exec, theme less, watch.
Watch is responsive to any less file changes accept of _theme.less and local.less located level us (css/local.less). Local.less was already added to theme.js:



files: [
'css/styles-m',
'css/styles-l',
'css/local'
],



local and _theme compiling well with grunt less but not responsive for grunt watch. The problem is related ot this two file only, all others including modules extends are watching by grunt ok.



Any ideas?





Grunt less output:



Running "less:base" (less) task
File pub/static/frontend/MaxTheme/base/en_US/css/styles-m.css created: 307.72 kB → 529.6 kB
File pub/static/frontend/MaxTheme/base/en_US/css/styles-l.css created: 51.13 kB → 89.83 kB
File pub/static/frontend/MaxTheme/base/en_US/css/local.css created: 25 B → 242 B





UPD: Just checked /pub/static, the two less files placed not as symlinks, but as regular less files.

          Ok, my research finished and looks like that's M2 bug.



          Details:



          _theme.less have the @imports in the header and that's the problem. I made theme exec and got _theme.less file copy of the same size in /pub/static, not symlink. I removed all @imports, exec, I got zero size symlink to _theme.less for now. I repeated tests 3-4 times. 100% dependency.



          Ok, going forward.



          My existent @imports format:





          @import '_buttons_extend';





          format was changed to:





          @import url('_buttons_extend');





          That's the miracle, I got symlink for now.



          Run grunt less:theme-name, got





          File "pubstaticfrontendMaxThemebaseen_UScsssource_theme.less" changed.

          Running "less:base" (less) task

          FileError: '_buttons_extend.less' wasn't found in pubstaticfrontendMaxThemebaseen_UScsssource_theme.less on line 3, column 1:

          2 @import '_vars';

          4 @import 'components/_footer';

          Warning: Error compiling pub/static/frontend/MaxTheme/base/en_US/css/styles-m.less Use --force to continue.





          But _buttons_extend locates in the same directory as _theme.less. I posted my dir structure screenshot above. So that's two ways: to live with the exec or less/watch error. I prefer the first one. Just to keep @imports in _theme.less and reexec theme if I added some @import there.
