[AEM 6.4.2] GCC JS Processor not working

[fionas76543059]

Hello, everyone!

I'm trying to change the JS compiler from Yui to GCC (to use ES6 in our project), I have read the official document ( Change the minification engine for client libraries in AEM ), but for some reason the GCC is not working.

What we have tried:

• Changing in http://localhost:4502/system/console/configMgr  -> Adobe Granite HTML Library Manager -> JS Processor Default Configs -> Change min:yui to min:gcc (and tried with min:gcc;languageIn=ECMASCRIPT6).

This doesn't work.

• Adding the jsProcessor inside the clientLibraryFolder like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<jcr:root xmlns:cq="http://www.day.com/jcr/cq/1.0" xmlns:jcr="http://www.jcp.org/jcr/1.0"
    jcr:primaryType="cq:ClientLibraryFolder"
    allowProxy="{Boolean}true"
    embed="[project.components]"
    categories="project.all"
    jsProcessor="[default:none,min:gcc;languageIn=ECMASCRIPT6]"/>

This doesn't work either.

If we turn it back to min:yui on the configMgr, it works again, but just minfies the ES5 functions, if we use arrow functions or let/const, it doesn't transform into ES5 (the main reason why we're changing to GCC).

Could you guys please help us?

Thank you!

hi folks, On 6.5.5 I tried languageIn=ECMASCRIPT_2015 and it doesn't seem to work. Does it work for anyone ? thanks Fiona

Cust Care found a ticket related to this and says this doc not valid for 6.4. I recommend opening a ticket so this can be dealt with.

Hi there,

I set up an OSGI config file called com.adobe.granite.ui.clientlibs.impl.HtmlLibraryManagerImpl.xml with these contents and gcc seems to work o.k.
for JS with some caveats.
I still get some files failing minification because of "strict" errors which I couldn't seem to get around with configuration options in this file.
In the end, I had to fix the errors in the files to get the gcc to minimize them.

It might be that some of files are minifying for you and others aren't.

Also, it might be worth clearing the clientlibs caches in AEM as described here, so you get a fresh view of them.

Try with languageIn=ECMASCRIPT_2015

I am checking with the team if this doc is still valid.
