always creating new output, even though source files have not changed #7
Description
could be it is a combination of issues when using magic-min v3.0.4:
-
it always creates a new minified file, even when the source js files have not been modified, see log and timestamps
-
I need to explicitly add the minified output file to the exclude array, otherwise it will be included in the merge process (note the leading ./ that is needed to exclude the file ):
$m = new Minifier(array("gzip"=>false,'closure'=>true, 'advanced_optimizations'=>true ));
$m->merge( 'js/moves.min.js', './js', 'js', array('./js/moves.min.js') ); -
related: I have closure-compiler installed locally, is it possible to use that one instead of the API?
-
related: when I use the local closure-compiler (built: 2015/06/27 10:54), I get a smaller file than the one created by the Minifier class. I used:
sudo closure-compiler --compilation_level ADVANCED_OPTIMIZATIONS --js moves.js --js movesCalendar.js --js movesDetails.js --js movesMap.js --js_output_file moves.min.js

So 18490 instead of 24593 bytes.
