Hi guys,

At the time of precompiling assets, there is a glitch by using the Discourse calendar plugin.

Hi Joffrey,

It’s stable branch, so should point to `v2.3.8` in theory.

Cheers,

Yes, I found the root cause.

I thought it has been for longer than this, but actually the ellipsis mixin has been added recently:

[https://github.com/discourse/discourse/commit/b066a4128d0971c16ab88ef1673115e4a7d16a54](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/commit/b066a4128d0971c16ab88ef1673115e4a7d16a54)

I have been fouled by the fact that we are using it in local-dates, but as local-dates is a core plugin it can’t be out of sync of core functions.

This should be fixed by:  
[https://github.com/discourse/discourse-calendar/commit/e735f87d5b0668c75fa087975e20f0fe8e160b2d](https://github.com/discourse/discourse-calendar/commit/e735f87d5b0668c75fa087975e20f0fe8e160b2d)

If you try again that should work, sorry and thanks for report.
