Compilation from source: LESS file is empty: email-inline.less

[geo782]

Hello all,

I have spend the last days trying to find a solution to the following problem.

In exception.log i get

[2020-05-17 13:11:04] main.ERROR: <pre>
Compilation from source: LESS file is empty: frontend/Mgs/claue/en_US/css/email-inline.less
 </pre> {"exception":"[object] (Magento\\Framework\\Exception\\MailException(code: 0): <pre>
Compilation from source: LESS file is empty: frontend/Mgs/claue/en_US/css/email-inline.less
 </pre> at /home/www/georgia/mysite.gr/www/vendor/magento/module-email/Model/Template/Filter.php:1039)"} []
[2020-05-17 13:17:28] main.ERROR: <pre>
Compilation from source: LESS file is empty: frontend/Mgs/claue/el_GR/css/email-inline.less
</pre> {"exception":"[object] (Magento\\Framework\\Exception\\MailException(code: 0): <pre>

</pre> at /home/www/georgia/mysite.gr/www/vendor/magento/module-email/Model/Template/Filter.php:1039)"} []

and order email is sent without css and also with message at the top : 

Compilation from source: LESS file is empty: frontend/Mgs/claue/el_GR/css/email-inline.less

I run magento 2.3.5 and in developer mode. I also clean var and pub/static/frontend/ and run deploy -f el_GR en_US but i get the same message for both files.

my files in frontend/Mgs/claue/el_GR/css/ i have the following files generated :

-rw-rw-r-- 1 george george 33233 May 18 22:33 font-awesome.css

In admin -> developer -> template settings, Allow Symlinks is set to No. 

Open up app/etc/di.xml and find the virtualType name="developerMaterialization" section. In that section i modified it by changing the contents from Magento\Framework\App\View\Asset\MaterializationStrategy\Symlink to Magento\Framework\App\View\Asset\MaterializationStrategy\Copy

No luck! email css files not found in el_GR/çss folder... Any idea how to fix this issue?

Regards

George

Has there been any movement on this? I'm having the exact same issue and can't get it to work, no matter what I try.

I don't intend to have the styling in my folder, surely it should inherit from Luma or Blank but it's failing to do so at the moment.

 am having the same problem, very annoying indeed, 

This works perfectly fine on my MacBook (development system), but then when taking into Linux to test, I get this error (below): 

Would be great to put our heads together to figure it out!.

Hello,

have the same issue with Amely Theme. Can i add this files too?

If you want those styles in developer mode you need to generate CSS with grunt and dont forget to add such files in grunt theme config

files: [
            'css/styles-m',
            'css/styles-l',
            'css/email',
            'css/email-inline'
        ],

after that, you will get no error in your emails
