Adobe AD0-E717 Exam - Topic 3 Question 57 Discussion

Actual exam question for Adobe's AD0-E717 exam

Question #: 57
Topic #: 3

A new custom module is built for the existing Adobe Commerce store. A merchant has requested a few frontend updates. For this, a developer has to implement a custom style.

What is the location of the less file that will be included by default?

Cview/{area}/web/css/source/_module.less

Bview/{area}/web/css/source/main less

Aview/{area}/web/css/style less

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: B

The view/{area}/web/css/source/main.less file is the default less file that is included by default. This file contains the main styles for the module.

In a custom module in Adobe Commerce, the default location for including custom LESS styles is typically view/{area}/web/css/source/_module.less. However, the most commonly used file for adding global styles is view/{area}/web/css/source/_extend.less. The view/{area}/web/css/style.less file is not standard, and the main.less file is used as an entry point for compilation but typically does not contain custom styles directly.

Wait, are you sure it’s not in a different location for custom modules?

app/design/frontend/[Vendor]/[Theme]/web/css/source is the location for the less file. Easy peasy!

I remember something about the default being in the base theme, but I can't quite place the exact location. It could be in app/design/frontend/Magento/blank/web/css/source?

I practiced a similar question, and I believe the LESS files are linked to the theme's web folder. Just not sure about the specifics.

If I recall correctly, it might be in app/design/frontend/[Vendor]/[Theme]/web/css/source. That sounds right, but I need to double-check.

Hmm, this seems straightforward. I'd start by checking the module's structure and looking for the default less file location.
