Your question confuses me. Are you actually typing the command less auto? If so, on Ubuntu Linux there is a command named less installed by default that will be run when you type less auto, and that command has nothing to do with Clojure or Leiningen.

Thanks for the reply @U0CMVHBL2, this is in my project.clj, when I run lein figwheel I expect it to run both figwheel dev-run and less auto

But only less auto is running

OK. I've never used figwheel so I might not be much help in debugging issues with it. Perhaps there is a #figwheel channel that might have people knowledgeable about it?

There is such a channel, but it doesn't look very active.

I posted there.. but no response
