Empty css and javascript files

Hello @yydevelopment

Can you test if original JS/CSS files are correct?
From what I see empty files would happen if there is a error in files.

Most of the files are not empty but let say out of 10 one is empty and that mean there is a page that won’t load correctly.

There should be some kind of safe check to detect if the files are empty. At the moment, as far as I know, there are no PHP errors indicating the problem, but it happens a lot when it’s tested on 40 websites.

Ok
I will look into this issue and try to add a fix.
The fix will only be added in next major version of plugin. This version will come soon ??

Thank you for the report and I will keep you up to date with the progress.

@yydevelopment
I tested a few scenarios that makes sense here. Tested both with CSS minify combine, and both ON.
Tests:
– changed a css that is correct to contain an error
– removed a css file that is enqueued

I was not able to reproduce the error.

Let’s start reproducing the issue.
Can you help me with ideeas how to test?

Please share a report number? This can be generated from LSC => Toolbox => Reports => and click on “Send to Litespeed”.

Thank you!

Hi sure, i have one from today but the downside is that that is not lightspeed serverif that make any changes (but it happen a lot of litespeed server i have as well)?

The log number is: YVRHUYBY

Looking now at my logs it seems like most empty files are javascript and not css. Is that something that also might cause problem or just css?

This is the file that was created empty:

[4] => Array
(
[name] => 8845a2429508153631ebd96e6260947a.css
[size_in_kb] => 0
[path] => /home/fuchs-design_co_il/htdocs/https://www.fuchs-design.co.il/wp-content/litespeed/css//8845a2429508153631ebd96e6260947a.css
)

Hope that helps,

In addition to my last message i was able to find you another on litespeed server

The report number was WMKYSMEY

And this is the file that was created

[1] => Array
(
[name] => 8845a2429508153631ebd96e6260947a.css
[size_in_kb] => 0
[path] => /home/yydevel1/my-websites/kweb.co.il/wp-content/litespeed/css//8845a2429508153631ebd96e6260947a.css
)

Tested the link: kweb.co.il/wp-content/litespeed/css//8845a2429508153631ebd96e6260947a.css and is not empty.
Try turning off CSS minify and combine(in this order, each one by one), clear cache and test the site.

Keep me updated.

I goes on random on 40 sites so it’s a bit of a problem to update all.

The script not empty because i have created a cron that check if there are empty css file and if there is it clear cache to fix the problem.

I thought it’s some simple that you just check the css before creating the file but if it’s more complex never mind let’s leave it like this i will just keep using my cron as it’s working for me.

The double / is from your script, yes?

Yes it is probably coming from my script

OK, I will look into a general fix. I wanted to debug the issue with you, having the problem on multiple servers(and different types).

I looked over the future version of plugin( V7 ) and we added a condition for empty returned content. I will come back at that time and test together.

Thank you, once you push it i will be happy to test it and inform you if i kepp getting empty files error.

By the way is your fix also work for .js files? i was getting js errors as well for empty files and i remove the alert for js and only left it for css.

So if you can add the fix for the js file it would be great as well.

Yes, both CSS and JS
