Gradle, Less, Css : Transpile and minify
Hi,
I would like to optimize css and less management using gradle.
I saw that some gradle plugins exists for transpilation (or
compilation...) less to css and minify and gzip css files.
What do you think if I try to set it in trunk ? I saw that a minifier
was already implemented in the past but was also removed. Is there any
technical reasons to remove minifier ?
Let me know your opinions,
Regards,
Julien.

That's indeed a good idea Mathieu

Yes, I can elaborate a better explanation. I would like to be sure that
there is no historical mistake with the minified files before digging
further.
I'll open a Jira and make an example to explain my proposal.
Regards,
Julien.

Can you elaborate on how you want to design this feature? Are you
going to minify the existing file or generate a new one. If you
generate a new one how will you update the screens to refer to the
minified version? Some elaboration on the design might help to make a
better decision here perhaps?

Yes ! This is exactly what I have in mind ;)
Using this feature in production using Gulp, It's a pain when you have
to debbug in minified version.

I think it is a good idea. However if we do that, it will be very
important to have a convenient way to run OFBiz either in development
mode (without minification) and in production mode (with minification)
to ease the Javascript debugging. Since this is a very common
requirement, I guess those Gradle plugins already provide such facility
or describe how to customize the impacted tasks.
Thanks.

Hi Nicolas,
I think we were using yuicompressor, It was conflicting with BIRT reporting
tool.
Here are the reference ticket
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-4849
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-5070
I like the idea to have minified js/css files.
You can create a ticket for the same.
Thanks & Regards
