Question

I’m trying to get Code Closure to work, but unfortunately, there’s always an error thrown.

Here’s the code:

use LWP::UserAgent;
use HTTP::Request::Common;
use HTTP::Response;

my $name = 'test.js';
my $agent = new LWP::UserAgent();
$agent->agent("curl/7.21.0 (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu) libcurl/7.21.0 OpenSSL/0.9.8o zlib/1.2.3.4 libidn/1.18");

$res = $agent->request(POST 'http://closure-compiler.appspot.com/compile',
           content_type => 'multipart/form-data',
           content      => [
                   output_info => 'compiled_code',
                           compilation_level => 'SIMPLE_OPTIMIZATIONS',
                   output_format => 'text',
                   js_code => [File::Spec->rel2abs($name)]
                       ]);

if ($res->is_success) {
    $minified = $res->decoded_content;
    print $minified;die;
}

I get the following error:

Error(13): No output information to produce, yet compilation was requested.

Here’s the api reference I used:
http://code.google.com/intl/de-DE/closure/compiler/docs/api-ref.html

Hope anyone knows what’s going wrong here. Thanks.

Answer 1

Pass as js_code the actual code to compile. Try (removing the form-data content_type header):

use File::Slurp "read_file";
...
     js_code => scalar( read_file($name) ),

I see you are trying to use POST’s file upload feature; what in the API documentation do you see that makes you think that would work? If there is something there, I don’t see it.
