Serve non-minified YUI3 in developer debug mode

hmm, should not this be done only when yui is not told to cache stuff? otherwise switching on/off the debug mode will not work when caching enabled, right?

Petr, that is exactly why I made you a watcher here! Thank you.

Becuase of ABORT_AFTER_CONFIG, the un-minified YUI will only be sent if $CFG->debug = 38911 is set in config.php. Would that ever happen on a production server?

If this happens on a developers' server, would it really matter?

If you think it is better, I could add $cache = false; inside the new if statement. What do you think is best.

Also, it would be really nice to avoid hard-coding 38911, but I can't think of a way to achieve that.

Note that this change is useful. It let me work out http://yuilibrary.com/projects/yui3/ticket/2531561

Hi guys,

I was just having a look at this now, I was sure that this was working in the past.
A bit of research and indeed it was working in the past but due to changes in the YUI loader, or perhaps just in YUI it no longer does.
The solution appears to be pretty simple:

diff --git a/lib/outputrequirementslib.php b/lib/outputrequirementslib.php
index 93c5cbe..2401862 100644
--- a/lib/outputrequirementslib.php
+++ b/lib/outputrequirementslib.php

         $this->M_yui_loader->base         = $this->yui3loader->base;
         $this->M_yui_loader->comboBase    = $this->yui3loader->comboBase;
         $this->M_yui_loader->combine      = $this->yui3loader->combine;
-        $this->M_yui_loader->filter       = ($this->yui3loader->filter == YUI_DEBUG) ? 'debug' : '';
+        $this->M_yui_loader->filter       = $this->yui3loader->filter;
         $this->M_yui_loader->insertBefore = 'firstthemesheet';
         $this->M_yui_loader->modules      = array();
         $this->M_yui_loader->groups       = array(

Basically it looks like things have changed from requiring the filter to be defined as 'debug' to being defined as one of 'DEBUG', or 'RAW' for which we can use the YUI defines YUI_DEBUG, and YUI_RAW.
In our case we have traditionally used raw and I have left it at that.

Would be great if someone else could test this.

Aha! Thanks I will look at this tomorrow.

In the past, we used to serve either debug or min YUI, but that was a real pain, because mostly yui-debug fills the javascript console with crap that dose not tell you anything useful, but which hides the real error.

So we changed it to yui plain or min, but that line of code you point out probably needed to be changed and was not.

Ah, the yui3 loader is not used because it did not support the latest yui3 - I had to include the necessary JS manually and I forgot to add exception for the non-minified stuff. I will fix it somehow soon, thanks!

I am working on a bit different fix...

hmm, I should have read the comment from Sam properly, I came independently to similar solution + some extra filter fix and phpdocs cleanup, thanks!

To integrators: please note 21 branch does not contain phpdocs fixes intentionally

Looks good to me. Thanks for doing a proper fix Petr. +1

Thanks Petr, I've integrated the fix now

Cheers
Sam

Looks great.

Side note: The following bulky scripts never appear to be minified, however this was not part of the test:
/theme/yui_combo.php?moodle/288/block_navigation/navigation/navigation.js
/theme/yui_combo.php?moodle/288/calendar/eventmanager/eventmanager.js

For part 4 I assumed outputrequirements[lib].php was meant.

Whoever decided one week was worth 14 days had really one bad idea. Anyway, the nightmare is over, so thanks for your, once again, amazing contributions. Many, many thanks!

Now... disconnect, relax and enjoy the next days, yay!

Closing...ciao
