compress css and compress js break manager

On MODX Revolution 2.1.0-rc2 (git - most recent commit be6894a8b7c1d0dbe7bf) - when I select compress css and compress js in the manager stylesheets and javascript won’t load. Any thoughts why?

wamp 2.0 / W7 / all browsers / clean install

Because compress_css and compress_js (and concat_js) aren’t available in the from-Git version unless you run a build, which creates the minimized files from source.

hmm.. I am running build, but maybe something else is going on. The build script has been taking 3-5 minutes, so perhaps something isn’t working correctly. I’ve been running the build from the browser as opposed to running from a shell. For some reason I can’t get the php interactive shell working right in windows.

Perhaps I’ll try running the transport.core.php from bash shell on my linux VM and see if that helps.

You must run the build.xml Phing script to create the minimized and concatenated js/css files. This is not handled by the transport.core.php script.

See http://www.jasoncoward.com/technology/2010/10/modx-revolution-builds-by-phing.html for some information on this until we get some documentation published for this at rtfm.

Thanks - I’ll work on implementing that now that I know what’s going on.
