Description
To reproduce:
- Create a new project folder.
- Run
npm init -y. - Install
lessandswiper. - Create a
main.lessfile in the root/src folder. - Create a build script that runs
lessc (src/)main.less output/styles.css.
Add these lines in the main.less file.
@import (less) 'swiper/less';
@import (less) 'swiper/less/navigation';
@import (less) 'swiper/less/pagination';
Current behavior:
The build script fails with the following error.
FileError: 'swiper/less' wasn't found. Tried - path\swiper-package\swiper\less.less,path\swiper-package\swiper\less.less,npm://swiper\less,npm://swiper\less.less,swiper\less.less in path\swiper-package\main.less on line 1, column 1:
1 @import (less) 'swiper/less';
Expected behavior:
Should have outputted the CSS. Not sure if this is because swiper is using exports in their package.json file.
From reports I heard at work, this works fine on Mac.

Research direction
Reproduce the failure with the npm project, src/main.less, the listed swiper imports, and the build script on Windows. Check how the import resolves the swiper package and its package.json exports, then run the build again. Done means the command emits output/styles.css containing the imported styles.
