Syntax Error in Easy Affiliate Links Plugin After JS Optimization

    We are using the Easy Affiliate Links plugin on our site, and when we run the JS optimization with Autoptimize, it causes a syntax error in the easy-affiliate-links/dist/public.js file.

    The problematic code is as follows:

    // Search for a '' parameter in the query string
    var reParamSearch = /([?&])=[^&]*/
    if (reParamSearch.test(this.url)) {

    After optimization, it appears as follows, causing the if statement to be recognized as a regular expression flag:

    Uncaught SyntaxError: Invalid regular expression flags

    if(this.method==='GET'||this.method==='HEAD'){if(options.cache==='no-store'||options.cache==='no-cache'){var reParamSearch=/([?&])=[^&]*/if(reParamSearch.test(this.url)){this.url=this.url.replace(reParamSearch,'$1='+new Date().getTime())}else{var reQueryString=/?/this.url+=(reQueryString.test(this.url)?'&':'?')+'_='+new Date().getTime()}}}}

    It is unclear whether the issue lies with the JavaScript in Easy Affiliate Links or with the optimization process in Autoptimize. Is it possible for Autoptimize to address this issue?

    The problem is a missing semi-colon after the var reParamSearch line.

    I would simply exclude the file from optimization, that’s what exclusions are for ??
