LESS @import external URL gives false Successful compilation message and no output file

[jambox]

I just spent a while trying to figure out why my CodeKit claimed "File compiled successfully" but wasn't creating an output file. Eventually I opened up Less.app (thanks) and when I saved my .less file it screamed "resource '//hello.myfonts.net/count/XXXXX' was not found". So, it turns out

@import url("//hello.myfonts.net/count/XXXXX");

was failing silently and not throwing a compiler error. After a quick search I realized I had to add "(css)" in front of the url to keep it from crashing:

@import (css) url("//hello.myfonts.net/count/XXXXX");

So, I don't expect CodeKit to give me a how-to on including web fonts, but if the output file isn't being generated, it should at least give me the big ol' red X on the compiler log...

thanks!
