Clientlib || Minification Engine

[anupamm13392644]

Can GCC be used as a minification engine of CSS?

Hi anupamm13392644​,

GCC is primarily used for JS Minification and not CSS.

As stated in the official documentation:

The Closure Compiler is a tool for making JavaScript download and run faster. Instead of compiling from a source language to machine code, it compiles from JavaScript to better JavaScript.

Thanks rampai.

Are you running into issues when using YUI for css?

[Jörg_Hoh · Accepted solution]

You can use GCC in AEM as well, see the documentation at [1].

[1] Change the minification engine for client libraries in AEM

Yes. but when i am trying to minimise the same css using online yui compression tool and i am able to minify and also i am facing this issue on publish env. so i guess it rules out a possiiblity of error in code.

Hi joerg,

thanks for the reply.

We can investigate why the compression is failing, Please log a daycare ticket with the following info:

1) DEBUG logger for Clientlibs:

• Go to http://<host>:<port>/system/console/slinglog
• Click on "add new logger"
• Set the Log Level to DEBUG
• Change the log Filename to "clientlibs.log"
• Add the following class in the "Logger" field:

  com.adobe.granite.ui.clientlibs

  - Click on Save.

2) Share the above logger after you try to rebuild libraries from "http://<host>:<port>/libs/granite/ui/content/dumplibs.rebuild.html"
