[Question] Do we have watch mode OR disable all check mode ?

[Lê Anh Hoàng Chương]

Hi,

I've an issue with gg closure compiler, during development, for each change in code, I've to rebuild the whole project, and built time for medium project (about 40s+), which is unacceptable.

I'm rather new to gg closure compiler, do we have something like watch mode (only compile what change), or a mode that disable every check and just concatenate files together (I'm hoping to reduce it to less than 1s).

Thank you very much.

Hi there,

The optimizations closure-compiler does require it to see your entire application,

so at the moment we do not have any kind of incremental compile option.

However, for your edit-compile-test cycle, you could use the SIMPLE optimizations which are much less expensive to execute.

We have a WHITESPACE_ONLY mode, but that name is misleading if you're asking the compiler to output a different language level than the input,

so I don't really recommend using it.

I hope that helps you out,

Bradford
