PhpStorm: Unable to load plugin clean-css

[Arahort]

Hello everybody! I have a problem that I hope you will help to solve:
PhpStorm 2017.2(Win 10) + Node.js install
Terminal install less and plugin

X:\PhpstormProjects\xxx>npm install -g less
C:\Users\xxx\AppData\Roaming\npm\lessc -> C:\Users\xxx\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\less\bin\lessc

X:\PhpstormProjects\xxx>npm install -g less-plugin-clean-css

• [email protected]
  updated 1 package in 1.068s

Add less watcher, all work fine, less compiles, but
If i want use plugin i add in watcher arguments --clean-css="--s1 --advanced --compatibility=ie8" (tried many different options)
Next, I make changes to my .less file and take

cmd.exe /D /C call C:/Users/XXX/AppData/Roaming/npm/lessc.cmd --no-color main.less "--clean-css=--s1 --advanced --compatibility=ie8"
Unable to load plugin clean-css please make sure that it is installed under or at the same level as less

Process finished with exit code 1

Either way try to downgrade to latest less 2.x.

No PHP Storm Problem. It's an Ubuntu 17.10 problem, too.

/usr/local/lib

lessc 3.0.1 (Less Compiler) [JavaScript]

Lessc is totally broken in 17.10. Neither clean-css nor source mape work.

Is this solved by less/less.js#3200 ?

You incorrectly changed the title, in the first message I wrote that the problem is also observed in Win10

@Arahort OK, then it's simply a duplicate of less/less.js#3181.

Closing as a duplicate of less/less.js#3181.
