WebStorm: LESS not being compiled on Mac

I have installed WebStorm 9 on Mac. I am having problems getting my LESS code compiled to CSS even after installing the LESS Compiler plugin.

The following message gets displayed:

"Missing CSS Output Directory - You can add CSS output directories under Settings > Project Settings > LESS Compiler"

Though there is no "Project Settings", I have add out put directory to LESS Compiler in "Settings".

It still does not work.

I also meet the problem in mac WebStorm, finally found where is wrong:

WebStorm Less compiler only work for ver. less 1.6.2

please use below under your project:

sudo npm install [email protected]

then in File Watchers in WebStorm to edit Less watcher, in Program field change path to:

yourProjectPath/node_modules/less/bin/lessc

then happy css will appear. :)

Known issue - see https://github.com/acdvorak/intellij-lessc-plugin/issues/47. I can suggest using less compiler (npm install -g less) configured as a file watcher instread - see https://www.jetbrains.com/webstorm/help/transpiling-sass-less-and-scss-to-css.html
