LESS compile error

I am using Incident57's CodeKit pre-processor to compile a series of less files that are being imported and minified into a single CSS file called template.css.

However, after making some edit (and I have no idea what edit caused this) I have started to get non_object_property_callError

non_object_property_callError: Cannot call method 'charAt' of null in /Volumes/Clients/htdocs/ergonomiq/domains/clients/polaris5/less/mediaqueries.less:14:2
13  h1 {
14      font-size: 100px;
15      margin-bottom: 60px;

template.less imports 12 files:

@import "cssindex.less";
@import "fonts.less";
@import "colors.less";
@import "variables.less";
@import "mixins.less";
@import "base.less";
@import "skeleton.less";
@import "flexslider.less";
@import "prettyPhoto.less";
@import "layout.less";
@import "scrollbars.less";
@import "mediaqueries.less";

Additionally, fonts.less itself imports 5 files

@import "font-awesome.less";
@import "font-awesome-ie7.less";
@import "font.bebas.less";
@import "font.leaguegothic.less";
@import "font.sourcesanspro.less";

The error seems to be related to / associated with the media queries.less file

    }
}

Beyond that, I am completely lost.

What does the non_object_property_callError: Cannot call method 'charAt' of null error mean, and how do I solve it?

Any advice would be appreciated.

Most frustrating thing about LESS is its less than helpful debug information.

It was a simple missing semicolon on line 57

    a {
        display: block;
        width: 100%;
        text-align: center;
        padding: 20px 0;
        font-family: @baseFontFamily    //missing semicolon
        font-size: 1.5em;
        color: @gray85;
        font-weight: 300;
        text-decoration: none;
        text-transform: uppercase;
        border-bottom: solid 1px @gray50;
    }
}

The corrected code worked fine

    a {
        display: block;
        width: 100%;
        text-align: center;
        padding: 20px 0;
        font-family: @baseFontFamily;
        font-size: 1.5em;
        color: @gray85;
        font-weight: 300;
        text-decoration: none;
        text-transform: uppercase;
        border-bottom: solid 1px @gray50;
    }
}
