JS minification removes spaces from template literals

    Hi guys,

    In one of my javascript files, I use a template literal like so:

    return ‘string text ${expression} string text’

    EDIT: I’m unable to include the “backtick” in the above code. The single quote ‘ should be replaced with a backtick, as in https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Template_literals

    But I’m finding that the JS minification is incorrectly removing the spaces to produce

    stringtexthellostringtext

    I assume this is a bug? Or is there way to have this minified without stripping of the spaces?

  • Hello @luminsol

    Thank you for the reporting of this issue. We reproduced this on our test, not all spaces in the template literal are removed but indeed a few of them are.

    We’ll update the lib and fix this soon. Probably next week. Please keep an eye on this.

    Best regards,
    Abe

    Thanks Abe, yes you are right, not every space was removed – I oversimplified it.

    Good to know a fix is on the way. Thank you to the LiteSpeed team.

    Greetings. The lib updated into the latest dev commit. The spaces within template literals will be preserved. Please give it a try if you wish.

    Best regards,
    Abe
