Question: Differences between pre-built js files and custom built

[nakupanda]

Hi,

Thanks for the great project.

I'm having troubles when compiling js files, see below screenshots

Red lines are pre-built version while greens are those generated after running 'gulp js' locally, the differences apparently have led a problem:

Any clue to solve this problem? Thanks.

Have checked gulpfile.js and found below ordered files

var getClientSideApp = function(name) { var appSource = config.jsPath + '/source/' + name;

return gulp.src(appSource + '/**/*.js')
    .pipe(order(
        [
            appSource + '/init.js',
            // The following line is equivalent to
            // gulp.src([appSource + '/*.js', '!' + appSource + '/app.js']);
            appSource + '/!(app).js',
            appSource + '/models/**/base*.js',
            appSource + '/models/**/*.js',
            appSource + '/collections/**/base*.js',
            appSource + '/collections/**/*.js',
            appSource + '/model_views/**/base*.js',
            appSource + '/model_views/**/*.js',
            appSource + '/collection_views/**/base*.js',
            appSource + '/collection_views/**/*.js',
            appSource + '/regions/**/base*.js',
            appSource + '/regions/**/*.js',
            appSource + '/layouts/**/base*.js',
            appSource + '/layouts/**/*.js',
            appSource + '/**/base*.js',
            // The following line is equivalent to
            // gulp.src([appSource + '/**/*.js', '!' + appSource + '/app.js']);
            '!' + appSource + '/app.js',
            appSource + '/app.js'
        ],
        {base: process.cwd()}
    ))
    .pipe(concat(name + '_app.js'));

}

Could this be the cause or something else?

to begin with, have you performed all steps from this chapter before running gulp?

[nakupanda]

thanks for replying, Yes I have read it few times, I also have successfully built pages using gulp.

[faf]

ok. and what about your environment (i.e. OS, version of node.js, etc.)?

[nakupanda]

OS: Ubuntu Server 14 LTS running in Virtualbox

NodeJS: v0.10.25

Gulp: CLI version 3.9.0

[faf]

Very odd. At the time I've been able to successfully compile js using:

1. node.js 0.10.10 and gulp 3.8.11
2. node.js 6.9.2 and gulp 3.8.11
3. node.js 6.9.2 and gulp 3.9.1

What is the version of your local gulp?

[nakupanda]

My local gulp is version 3.8.11 and global is 3.9.0, now trying something else.

BTW have you checked all js files that generated after running 'gulp js' are running fine in browser? I have no problem too when running the command 'gulp js', js files were actually built, they just didn't work properly in browser.

[faf]

of course, I've tested everything after the compilation.

you could try to level up the version of your local gulp and try again. update your local repo and run npm install. (i presume) it will update your local gulp up to 3.9.1. then you can also update your global gulp.

[nakupanda]

Thanks for your help. I tried placing a new copy somewhere else and installed new npm packages and ran the command again it worked perfectly.

Closing this issue :)
