changes made in project specific site.variables and site.overrides not reflecting.

[semanticrelated]

Hi Experts,

We have "fomantic-ui-less" folder along with its content present under "node_modules" folder on the local system.

In out project front end module, we are having site.variables and site.overrides files where we wanted to change the font for the "default" theme.

On making changes and after successful build too, the new font isn't reflecting.

Any thoughts on

1] How should we debug this issue.
2] Pointers/suggestions on how to resolve this will be really helpful.

How did you change the font? i assume you changed @font in https://github.com/fomantic/Fomantic-UI-LESS/blob/1d9470b573354b4d16717bc3d8016355de9ecf95/themes/default/globals/site.variables#L11 ?

Hi @lubber-de ,

So the file you mentioned, "site.variables" is part of the front end module under the path "ui.frontend\node_modules\fomantic-ui-less\themes\default\globals".

But we have copied over the site.variables and site.overrides to our project front end module and making the changes there, so that we override the default files.. something very similar on the lines of https://github.com/Adobe-Marketing-Cloud/asset-share-commons/tree/develop/ui.frontend.theme.light .

So you use them in a different theme folder. Then make sure you change the folder name for site from default to the name of your theme folder in theme.config (which you have to create from the example file) https://github.com/fomantic/Fomantic-UI-LESS/blob/1d9470b573354b4d16717bc3d8016355de9ecf95/theme.config.example
