v3.1 : Uncompressed Files

Question

Are the uncompressed versions of the code gone for good?

(if so it's going to make debugging quite a bit more difficult)

I always thought that code had already been minified. meaning the var names are obfuscated and comments have been removed. But hey, if they were available before then I agree.

I think we're talking about two different things, so my bad.

No worries, that probably means you haven't needed to delve too far into the inner workings...which is a good thing from your perspective! 🙂

(re. Ideas - I'm sure some 'ideas' do get incorporated but I've got a couple that were 'promoted' a couple of years ago that still aren't implemented yet, guess they aren't good enough, still makes me a bit reluctant to bother with that mechanism)

No wonder, last dl I have is 2.8 where those files were not included, at least not when I downloaded them. They're in 3.0 though. That's fun.

The ArcGIS JavaScript unbuilt source is not available, and as far as I know has never been available.

Oh really?  What are these then?

Have you ever looked inside the *js.uncompressed.js files?  Have you ever adjusted your default handler to return the uncompressed layer file?
There is a posting up at the ideas site for this suggestion though, so go upvote it and let's see what goes from there.

In this case I don't think that should be necessary and I don't think it's the appropriate mechanism.

All this topic needs is a yes/no answer from ESRI at this stage.
