Question

I want to use django-pipeline to compile my LESS files into a single CSS file.
I want django-pipeline to use the lessc that I have bundled into a /bin/ directory that is in my django project. I am trying to correctly set: PIPELINE_LESS_BINARY in order to do this correctly, except django-pipeline runs the command from the source_filenames directory it appears.

How can set the path to my custom compiler correctly?

Answer 1

You can try something like this, and adapt it to your directory structure :

import os
local_path = lambda path: os.path.join(os.path.dirname(__file__), path)

PIPELINE_LESS_BINARY = local_path('bin/lessc')

local_path return the path of a file relatively to the settings.py file path.
