Getting errors with JSMin "JSMin had a possible error minifying:"

Created on 3 June 2021, over 3 years ago

Problem/Motivation

I implemented the JSMin library - and my log file produces 4 warnings/errors about minifying.
If I use another compressor (I tried both Jsqueeze and jsmin+) , clear cache, clear report, then I get no errors. I'm unclear how to debug this reason. as JSMin has been sedentary for 3+ years, I doubt it's jsmin :)

Steps to reproduce

Enable JSMin as compressor in Advagg.

Proposed resolution

    Same issue here. Saw similar errors and the admin menu was broken on some Webform Results Download pages. Switching to Jsqueeze resolved the issue.

    Digging on an old issue! Make sure your hosting provider enabled the extensions, otherwise it is better to submit a complete issue with required steps to reproduce the issue.

  • I'am having the same issue.
    Just installed the jsmin for homebrew to test localhost.
    Some files are not minified due to an error.
    Has it something todo with PHP 8.0? I don't know.
