My grunt-recess task won't compile properly

Question

My Gruntfile.coffee has:

recess:
  dist:
    options:
      compile: true
      includePath: ['public/bower_components/bootstrap-less/less']
    src: 'dist/assets/ln.css'
    dest: 'public/stylesheets/ln.less'

And my ln.less is super simple: @import "../bower_components/bootstrap-less/less/bootstrap.less";

When I do grunt recess, I get:

Running "recess:dist" (recess) task
Verifying property recess.dist exists in config...OK
Files: public/stylesheets/ln.less -> dist/assets/ln.css
Options: banner="", compress=false, footer="", compile, includePath=["public/bower_components/bootstrap-less/less"]
>> Parser error in public/bower_components/bootstrap-less/less/mixins.less
>>      643.   padding-right: (@grid-gutter-width / 2);
>>      644.   &:extend(.clearfix all);
>>      645. }
Warning:  Use --force to continue.

Aborted due to warnings.

What am I doing wrong?

Current Bootstrap versions no longer support `recess` (since it stalls at quite outdated Less 1.3.x), they have switched to `grunt-contrib-less` (with minimum required Less version 1.6.x).

As per the comment by seven-phases-max, I'm using the grunt-contrib-less task and that seems to work well.
