UPDATE 11/4/2013: The reason why this happens is because you have .js or .css at the end of your bundle name which causes ASP.NET to not run the request through MVC and the BundleModule. The recommended way to fix this for better performance is to remove the .js or .css from your bundle name. So … Read more
I just had the exact same problem. I have a folder with 2 CSS files: ~/Content/main.css ~/Content/main.min.css (pre-existing from my previous manual minification process) My bundling code is this: bundles.Add(new StyleBundle(“~/css/main”).Include(“~/content/main.css”)); No matter how much I changed my main.css the output was the same url with the same contents: <link href=”https://stackoverflow.com/css/main?v=6Xf_QaUMSlzHbXralZP7Msq1EiLTd7g1vId6Vcy8NJM1″ rel=”stylesheet”/> The only way … Read more
We hear your pain on documentation, unfortunately this feature is still changing quite fast, and generating documentation has some lag, and can be outdated almost immediately. Rick’s blog post is up to date, and I’ve tried to answer questions here as well to spread current info in the meantime. We are currently in the process … Read more
You could write a custom bundle orderer (IBundleOrderer) that will ensure bundles are included in the order you register them: public class AsIsBundleOrderer : IBundleOrderer { public virtual IEnumerable<FileInfo> OrderFiles(BundleContext context, IEnumerable<FileInfo> files) { return files; } } and then: public class BundleConfig { public static void RegisterBundles(BundleCollection bundles) { var bundle = new Bundle(“~/bundles/scripts/canvas”); … Read more
My guess is that the path Content/css exists on disk in your app. In this case IIS would be handling the request, not MVC. Make sure that the virtual path for the bundle (the parameter of the StyleBundle constructor) doesn’t match a folder in the file system. From the comments: “A good convention to follow … Read more
The -{version} basically maps to a version regex, or to be precise: (\d+(?:\.\d+){1,3}). Using * tends to grab too much, for example if you bundle jquery*, that will include jquery-ui as well which might mess up the ordering. But using jquery-{version}.js would let you avoid having to update your bundle definition every time you upgrade … Read more
Conditional compilation directives are your friend: #if DEBUG var jsBundle = new Bundle(“~/Scripts/js”); #else var jsBundle = new ScriptBundle(“~/Scripts/js”); #endif
Bundling is all about compressing several JavaScript or stylesheets files without any formatting (also referred as minified) into a single file for saving bandwith and number of requests to load a page. As example you could create your own bundle: bundles.Add(New ScriptBundle(“https://stackoverflow.com/questions/12192646/~/bundles/mybundle”).Include( “~/Resources/Core/Javascripts/jquery-1.7.1.min.js”, “~/Resources/Core/Javascripts/jquery-ui-1.8.16.min.js”, “~/Resources/Core/Javascripts/jquery.validate.min.js”, “~/Resources/Core/Javascripts/jquery.validate.unobtrusive.min.js”, “~/Resources/Core/Javascripts/jquery.unobtrusive-ajax.min.js”, “~/Resources/Core/Javascripts/jquery-ui-timepicker-addon.js”)) And render it like this: @Scripts.Render(“https://stackoverflow.com/questions/12192646/~/bundles/mybundle”) One … Read more
According to this thread on MVC4 css bundling and image references, if you define your bundle as: bundles.Add(new StyleBundle(“~/Content/css/jquery-ui/bundle”) .Include(“~/Content/css/jquery-ui/*.css”)); Where you define the bundle on the same path as the source files that made up the bundle, the relative image paths will still work. The last part of the bundle path is really the … Read more
