Support for site root-relative paths with the data-uri function?

[Nettsentrisk]

As far as I can tell, less.js doesn't currently support the use of site root-relative paths (e.g., "/images/image.png") within LESS files with the data-uri function, which requires access to the file to base64-encode it. (This problem may apply to other areas as well.)

There are currently no tests for the data-uri function that use a site root-relative path, though I understand this might be due to practical reasons.

The problem is that the LESS command-line compiler doesn't know what the site root is.

[Nettsentrisk]

Is there a way to pass this to the compiler as an argument or something like that?

[SLaks]

There is a --source-map-basepath option, which may be related.

[Nettsentrisk]

Any movement on this front? :)

@SLaks you can specify include paths. Could resolve relative to any of those, like imports.

Fixed by previous commit. Data uri function now uses paths specified through include-path command line option. Programmatic equivalent is property paths.
