.NET MVC Bundler is always minifying my "abc.min.js" file

Question

.NET MVC bundler is always minifying my file! (release mode), even though I don't want it to. How can I avoid this? I need to use a pre-minified verison, because the .net minifier causes incorrect JS in this case.

I'm using:

https://raw.github.com/mbest/knockout-deferred-updates/master/knockout-deferred-updates.min.js

and my code is:

bundles.Add(new ScriptBundle("~/bundles/test") .Include("~/Scripts/Libraries/knockout-deferred-updates.js") .Include("~/Scripts/Libraries/knockout-deferred-updates.min.js"));

I've tried just having one .Include etc. but it still minifies the .min file!

I believe you can use a Bundle instead of a ScriptBundle, but I'm actually surprised it doesn't automatically pick up your pre-minified file (don't include the .min.js, just include the .js (but keep both files in the same directory) and it should do the rest - I assume you have tried this?) — lc.

To prevent bundling and minifying while in release mode, you can add the following to BundleConfig.cs:

BundleTable.EnableOptimizations = false;

I don't want to prevent it, I just want it to realize I've already minified the file. + I would never want to programatically do that anyway...

Have you tried clearing the IgnoreList? Similar to this question: stackoverflow.com/questions/11980458/…

It might help you

 public class BundleConfig { // For more information on bundling, visit http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=301862 public static void RegisterBundles(BundleCollection bundles) { bundles.Add(new ScriptBundle("~/bundles/jquery").Include( "~/Scripts/jquery-{version}.js")); bundles.Add(new ScriptBundle("~/bundles/jqueryval").Include( "~/Scripts/jquery.validate*")); bundles.Add(new ScriptBundle("~/bundles/customer").Include("~/Scripts/app/Services/vm.customer.js")); //If Enable Bundling BundleTable.EnableOptimizations = true; //If Disable Bundling BundleTable.EnableOptimizations = false; }
