This code is enough to break the release build:

application ReleaseTest
import mobl::ui::generic
load jquery.flot.js       // remove this and release build works
screen root() {
  header("Release build test")
}

www.release gets created, but the js file is not compressed and does not contain any mobl-lib code.

The development release works as expected.

Replace jquery.flot.js with a trivial foo.js file containing var j=1; and the build works.

jquery.flot.js generates 50 jslint warnings. Fix these and the build works.

However, fixing jslint warnings is not at all easy - jquery.flot.js contains some minimised code that has missing semicolons. It would be much better to if the build process were more robust - possibly by excluding external js from compression by mobl?

By interval halving, I narrowed the problem to just one line in jquery.flot.js release 0.7.

It’s line 1560 - a continue statement with a missing semi-colon,:

  L1559      if (!axis.show || axis.ticks.length == 0)
  L1560               continue

Hopefully this will be solved by this: https://yellowgrass.org/issue/mobl/238
