Plone 5 upgrade failing on ++resource++plone.css

Hi all,

I am trying to upgrade a Plone 4 site to Plone 5. One problem which I keep coming across is that plone.css doesn't exist in my Plone 5.0.4 build.

I receive this error whenever I try to update the registry.xml file with new CSS/JS. This results in a site rendered as Javascript and not HTML :confused:

`2016-05-03T16:38:24 ERROR root Exception while rendering an error message

Sorry, the requested resource does not exist.

Check the URL and try again.

I noticed that the plone.css is empty, therefore I tried to recompile the plone.less file

lessc -x plone.less plone.css NameError: variable @mockup-patterns-select2 is undefined in ~/eggs/Products.CMFPlone-5.0.4-py2.7.egg/Products/CMFPlone/static/plone.less on line 3, column 13: 2 3 @import url("@{mockup-patterns-select2}"); 4 @import url("@{mockup-patterns-pickadate}");

Is anyone else having this problem? I don't have the Barcelonette theme installed as I didn't think it was a dependency.

Cheers,
Adam

Any fix here? I have the same issue.

Try following upgrade-steps:

  • source plone
  • 4 latest
  • 5 latest

In latest Versions are often some fixes merged/include...
