This kind of error might comes from an empty CSS rule somewhere, most probably. It might come from a dependency, so that might get tricky.

First thing to do would be to try to remove css file one by one from your project to spot which one as the issue. If you can't find it, then it comes from a dependency, and you best bet would be to remove empty-rules rule from CSSLint or from the linter you are using.
