I'm using the YUI compressor to merge and minify my JS-files. One problem I'm having is that comments are being deleted, even though I'm using the suggested format as follows: /*! comments go here */ That's what they say in the documentation and on several blogs: http://www.julienlecomte.net/yuicompressor/README http://www.electrictoo...
Hi I tried compressing a JavaScript file of mine using YUI compressor, but somehow it did not do what was expected. The JavaScript file is here. The compressed output looked like this: !window.$j&&(function($){$.jswaf={};$j=$.jswaf;var resources={},modules={},depends={},events={},eventfired={},modulepath={},themepath={}; [...] ...
I'm combining multiple js files using YUI Compressor. The command works successfully and outputs a combined file properly. When I point my page to it, however, it doesn't seem to be read properly and I get this error in the Javascript error console. YAHOO is not defined I've tried using the --nomunge and --preserve-semi options but ...
Here's the deal, we have a big JS library that we want to compress, but YUI compressor doesn't fully compress the code if it finds an "eval" statement, out of fear that it will break something else. That's great and all, but we know exactly what is getting eval'd, so we don't want it to get conservative because there's an eval statement...
I'm currently migrating a project to Visual Studio 2010 and am trying to figure out how to minify JS and CSS files individually on build. In Visual Studio 2008 I used a Web Deployment Projects with a build task that referenced the C# port of the YUI Compressor. In Visual Studio 2010 Web Deployment Projects seem to have been integrated ...
I created a moduling system using jQuery. Is there any build system something similar to Dojo's Shrinksafe, that could combine all my module files into one single file for production? Does YUI Compresser is all about single file compression or does it support bundling the module files as well? JavascriptMVC uses a custom build of Shrin...
I'd like to put the yuicompressor jar file in a single folder so that I can call java -jar yuicompressor-2.4.2.jar ... from anywhere on my system, with cygwin. For bash files I use I simply put them in a common folder, and added the folder's path to my windows user's PATH environment variable and the bash commands were found in cygwin...
I have an ant build that concatenates my javascript into one file and then compresses it. The problem is that Visual Studio's default encoding attaches a BOM to every file. How do I configure ant to strip out BOM's that would otherwise appear in the middle of the resulting concatenated file? My googl'ing revealed this discussion which i...
Hi! When I am trying to compress jQuery with YUICompressor on UNIX machine, it adds some strange words which causes crash on jquery init: (function(window,undefined){var jQuery=function(selector,context){return new jQuery.fn.init(selector,context)}get ,_jQuery=window.jQuery Note 'get ' before ,_jQuery=window.jQuery.

Hey I am working on a big .NET project. I am currently creating an automated minifier for JS and CSS files using YUI compressor. After doing some research, I found that the heaviest files in the project are actually .NET resources (Like MS ajax file). They are very big and unminified. I am wondering, is there any way to minify them? T...
In my javascript I have some bits of code specifically used for debugging which I don't want to include in the live site. Is there a way I can semi-comment these bits of code so that they run as javascript normally, but that yui compressor thinks they're comments and removes them? For example for(key in modules) { try { MyApp[k...
When I minify jquery using YUI compressor, it works fine. When I then add gzip compression (and serve this version via mod rewrite), the gzipped version throws this error: illegal character in jquery.min.js on line 1 Line 1 is: �������M�����������s�8�0�?�!sz�dKr�=� This results in a "jquery is not defined" error. I am using the follo...
I'm using YUI compressor jar file to merge and minify a number of JS and CSS files. This works great on my mac, and on my CentOS 5 server. Now I bought another CentOS VPS and the same script is not working on that pc. The minification gets done, but my minified javascript starts throwing errors. When compressing the same files with the...
I made yuicompressor work from the command line. But the only thing I didn't understand from this tutorial is this part: You most install yuicompressor and make yuicompressor executable from any directory. How do I make it execute from any directory? ...

I am aware of tools like...
I am using MSBuild/yuicompressor to combine and minify JavaScript. As part of this process, I want to modify my script references so they have a timestamp in the querystring. That way, a user always gets the non-cached version of the file when a new release is published. For example: <script type="text/javascript" src="/scripts/combine...
I have a collection of Javascript files that together constitute a system. Different parts of the system are in different (global) namespaces (e.g., NSA, NSB, etc.) and those namespaces may be objects, e.g. NSA = { ... lots of stuff ... } Now, in my various modules, I may have code such as: NSA.method(); My code JSLints cle...
