Remove duplicate jQuery UI JavaScript and CSS files

I am having this same issue with multiple duplicate JS and CSS files loaded on the page.
This issue may be a duplicate of 🐛 Module defines jQuery UI files independently from Core. Can cause CSS priority issues in AJAX calls Needs review , however that ticket focused on CSS and there is no changes in the open MR as of 2024-06-03.

Duplicate JS and CSS files cause performance issues since it bloats the aggregated files and can cause other issues as noted in 🐛 Module defines jQuery UI files independently from Core. Can cause CSS priority issues in AJAX calls Needs review .

For example, I am seeing the following duplicate JS files:

modules/contrib/jquery_ui/assets/vendor/jquery.ui/ui/widgets/autocomplete-min.js?v=1.13.2
core/assets/vendor/jquery.ui/ui/widgets/autocomplete-min.js?v=10.2.6

core/assets/vendor/jquery.ui/ui/keycode-min.js?v=10.2.6
modules/contrib/jquery_ui/assets/vendor/jquery.ui/ui/keycode-min.js?v=1.13.2

core/assets/vendor/jquery.ui/ui/widgets/menu-min.js?v=10.2.6
modules/contrib/jquery_ui/assets/vendor/jquery.ui/ui/widgets/menu-min.js?v=1.13.2

modules/contrib/jquery_ui/assets/vendor/jquery.ui/ui/safe-active-element-min.js?v=1.13.2
core/assets/vendor/jquery.ui/ui/safe-active-element-min.js?v=10.2.6

modules/contrib/jquery_ui/assets/vendor/jquery.ui/ui/unique-id-min.js?v=1.13.2
core/assets/vendor/jquery.ui/ui/unique-id-min.js?v=10.2.6

modules/contrib/jquery_ui/assets/vendor/jquery.ui/ui/version-min.js?v=1.13.2
core/assets/vendor/jquery.ui/ui/version-min.js?v=10.2.6

modules/contrib/jquery_ui/assets/vendor/jquery.ui/ui/widget-min.js?v=1.13.2
core/assets/vendor/jquery.ui/ui/widget-min.js?v=10.2.6

For example, I am seeing the following duplicate CSS files:

modules/contrib/jquery_ui/assets/vendor/jquery.ui/themes/base/autocomplete.css
core/assets/vendor/jquery.ui/themes /base/autocomplete.css

modules/contrib/jquery_ui/assets/vendor/jquery.ui/themes/base/core.css
core/assets/vendor/jquery.ui/themes/base/core.css

modules/contrib/jquery_ui/assets/vendor/jquery.ui/themes/base/menu.css
core/assets/vendor/jquery.ui/themes/base/menu.css

modules/contrib/jquery_ui/assets/vendor/jquery.ui/themes/base/theme.css
core/assets/vendor/jquery.ui/themes/base/theme.css

I created an MR with code in the library alter to replace the actual files in the core libraries.
I attached a static patch to be used for builds only. Please use the issue branch for any updates to the patch.

Moved to needs work since there is an issue with the latest patch when using core's asset aggregation.

updated the static patch with latest changes to fix issue with JS/CSS aggregation. This sets library file weights to the same as core so that files can be replaced with the jquery_ui contrib module files.
