Bundle Minification not working when publishing WebForms App

Bundle Minification not working when publishing WebForms App

If you're experiencing issues with bundle minification not working when publishing a WebForms application, there are a few things you can check:

  • Ensure that the BundleTable.EnableOptimizations property is set to true in your Application_Start method in Global.asax.cs. This property must be set to true for the bundling and minification to work in release mode.
protected void Application_Start() { // Other startup code... // Enable bundling and minification optimizations in release mode #if !DEBUG BundleTable.EnableOptimizations = true; #endif }
  • Verify that the web.config file in your application has the correct settings. Specifically, ensure that the following settings are present:
<compilation debug="false" targetFramework="4.7.2" /> <httpRuntime targetFramework="4.7.2" />

These settings ensure that the application is compiled in release mode and that the correct .NET Framework version is being targeted.

  • Check that the files being bundled are included in the bundle. You can use the BundleConfig.RegisterBundles() method to add the files you want to bundle. For example:
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*")); // Add more bundles here... }

In this example, the jquery.js file is included in the ~/bundles/jquery bundle.

  • Make sure that the bundling and minification is not disabled in the web.config file. Look for the following setting in the system.web section:
<compilation debug="true" />

If this setting is set to true, then bundling and minification will not occur.

  • Ensure that the BundleTable.Bundles property is not cleared or modified in your code. This can cause the bundles to be cleared and the minification process to fail.

By checking these settings, you should be able to diagnose and resolve issues with bundle minification not working when publishing a WebForms application.
