Issue with automatic compiling in Sublime 2 for less2css

Whenever I try to save my style.less file, the automatic compilation doesn't happen. Is there a mistake in how I've set it up? Here's what is currently in my ox.sublime-project file: 

{
        "folders":
        [
            {
                "path": "projects/example/web"
            }
        ],
        "settings":
        {
            "less2css":
            {
                "autoCompile":true,
                "main_file":"/projects/example/web/style.less",
                "minify":false
            }
        }
    }

Upon saving the style.less file, this error message appears in the console:

Traceback (most recent call last):

Answer №1

Is it possible that the issue stems from inconsistent path names? Initially, you reference "projects/example/web", but then switch to 

"/projects/example/web/style.less"
(noting the addition of a leading slash).
