JS Minification On Azure

GetResource.ashx handler has this method


private static void ProcessJSFileRequest(HttpContext context)
    {
        // Check whether to use minification
        bool useMinification = false;
        if (CMSAppBase.ConnectionAvailable)
        {
            useMinification = ScriptHelper.ScriptMinificationEnabled;
        }

        ProcessFileRequest(context, JS_FILE_ARGUMENT, JS_FILE_EXTENSION, useMinification);
    }

What I've noticed on Azure though is that the JS files are not being minified and looking at the line


ScriptHelper.ScriptMinificationEnabled

always returns false if the application is running on Azure, even if the all the minification settings are set to true.

I could just override this and always minify, but wondering why the minification is false for Azure?

RE:JS Minification On Azure

Hello Bryan,

Currently JavaScript minification is not supported on Azure because of incompatibility of libraries used for minification with Azure, that is why it always returns false. However, after consulting it with our Azure development team, they told me they would test it again and let me know whether the issues still persist or if it is going to be fixed in one of the hotfix releases in the future.

Anyway, I will keep you updated about the progress of this issue and the final outcome.

Best regards,
Filip Ligac
