protocol independent googleapis font import throws IOException saying .less not found

[nitinsurana]

I have the below line in of my .less files

@import url("//fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Open+Sans:300,400,600,700&lang=en");

While building the project, it throws the following error :

java.io.IOException: Resource E:\mongrel\mongrel\src\main\webapp\webresources\css\edulastic\less\theme\fonts.googleapis.
com\css?family=Open+Sans:300,400,600,700&lang=en.less not found.

For others stumbling upon this issue, here is the temporary fix I used :

Added .css at the end of the url by adding a random parameter. Imports having an extension .css are ignored.

@import url("//fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Open+Sans:300,400,600,700&lang=en&random=.css");

You can add css option to import rule instead of .css extension hack.

@import (css) url("//fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Open+Sans:300,400,600,700&lang=en");

@agabrys quickly tested and it works as expected, thanks.

Now, I want to import .css file in the final less compiled, is there a way, since .css are actually ignored from importing ?

@import url("../plugins/toastr/toastr.min.css"); - Doesn't import it in the final less compiled.
