Hello I am new in developing in Magento, I have Magento CE. When I set the Front End development workflow to type client side less compilation shows me an error

Fatal error: Uncaught TypeError: Argument 4 passed to Magento\Developer \Model\View\Asset\PreProcessor\FrontendCompilation::processContent() must be an instance of Magento\Framework\View\Asset\File\FallbackContext, instance of Magento\Framework\View\Asset\File\Context given, called in C:\xampp\htdocs\magento\vendor\magento\module-developer\Model\View\Asset\PreProcessor\FrontendCompilation.php on line 90 and defined in C:\xampp\htdocs\magento\vendor\magento\module-developer\Model\View\Asset\PreProcessor\FrontendCompilation.php:107 Stack trace: #0 C:\xampp\htdocs\magento\vendor\magento\module-developer\Model\View\Asset\PreProcessor\FrontendCompilation.php(90): Magento\Developer\Model\View\Asset\PreProcessor\FrontendCompilation->processContent('e6a662994948b56...', '@import 'source...', '', Object(Magento\Framework\View\Asset\File\Context)) #1 C:\xampp\htdocs\magento\vendor\magento\module-developer\Model\View\Asset\PreProcessor\PreprocessorStrategy.php(74): Magento\Developer\Model\View\Asset\PreProcessor\FrontendCompilation-> in C:\xampp\htdocs\magento\vendor\magento\module-developer\Model\View\Asset\PreProcessor\FrontendCompilation.php on line 107

My mode is set it to developer mode. Any consideration for that?

Just check if you have "CSS Settings" -> "Merge CSS Files" set to No, and then try switching to Client side

Use this command to set css minification to NO

php bin/magento config:set dev/css/merge_css_files 0

Thanks for this @s-adamson answer it saved many times.

    If developer mode is crashing, then you can't reach these settings using the front end (the section is hidden in production mode) so you'll need to use the command line: php bin/magento config:set dev/css/merge_css_files 0

  • I don't know if there is some way to retart Magento, you need to remove your custom modules, theme. otherwise you reinstall a new Magento
