I'm creating a new D8 theme and am having trouble making Drupal load the CSS that is a part of my theme. I have disabled cache and am sure I'm getting the up-to-date output.
Here's my mytheme.info.yml:
name: Mytheme
type: theme
description: 'This is a description.'
core: 8.x
libraries:
- mytheme/global-styling
libraries-override:
system/base: false
regions:
header: Header
content: Content # the content region is required
menu_primary: 'Menu - Primary'
menu_secondary: 'Menu - Secondary'
footer: Footer
Here's mytheme.libraries.yml
global-styling:
version: 1.0
css:
theme:
css/global.css: {}
and this is the top of my html.html.twig file:
<!doctype html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<title>{{ head_title }}</title>
<head-placeholder token="{{ placeholder_token|raw }}">
<css-placeholder token="{{ placeholder_token|raw }}">
<js-placeholder token="{{ placeholder_token|raw }}">
{{ page.head }}
{{ page.styles }}
{{ page.scripts }}
</head>
...
The content in the YAML files is not tabbed, spaces are used.
I already spent several hours trying to figure out what's wrong and why the global.css is not being linked in the header of the html page, but I have no idea. I'll be gratefull for any help.
EDIT: I found out that my CSS do load when I use this:
{{ attach_library('mytheme/global-styling') }}
but I thought the point of referring to global-styling inside mytheme.info.yml was that I don't have to do that. Did I understand that correctly?
