Can You please Update the LESS Compiler

I'm coding like this

@ltr: ltr;
@rtl: rtl;
@dir: @rtl;

.SetTypeFaceVariables when (@dir = @ltr) {
    @headType: 'Segoe UI_';
}
.SetTypeFaceVariables when (@dir = @rtl) {
    @headType: Tahoma;
}

.SetTypeFaceVariables();  // Error is here, we cannot call Mixins here like this

h1{
   font-family: @headType;
}

You can find the demo on codepen here: http://codepen.io/seven-phases-max/pen/JImdF It is working on LESS 1.5+ but your compiler cannot compile this, can you please update the LESS compiler or give me a workaround for this issue?

I'm looking forward to hearing from you

The most recent gallery release uses 1.5 and the nightlies are using 1.6.3 so that shouldnt be a problem. Can you check what version of Web Workbench you have installed?

Ive run the above locally with the 1.6.3 compiler directly and this is the output:

NameError: variable @headType is undefined in C:\Temp\Less1.less on line 15, column 17:
14 h1 {
15    font-family: @headType;
16 }

Is this the output you are also seeing? Im wondering if this is something that works with browser based less rather than compiled?

Oddly enough it does seem to compile under the 1.5.0 compiler but not 1.6.3 so presumably something may have changed in Less requiring the variable to be defined at the wider scope.
