Can you disable minification of your tealium javascript file for debugging purposes?

Hi, 

Sometimes I want to debug my tealium extensions and my custom tags. Is it possible to disable minification of your code or use source maps to debug your tealium script

Hi @geoffrey_samper,

Yes, you can disable minification in the publish settings at the profile level:

Hit Save/Publish > Configure Publish Settings > General Publishing > Performance Optimization > Minify Tag Templates (Toggle Off).

This is generally unnecessary, however, as the "Pretty Print" option in Chrome and Firefox dev tools de-minify the files for you (look for the pair of curly braces {} in the bottom left of the dev tools panel in Chrome).

Hi @geoffrey_samper. To add to @craig_rouse's reply please see https://community.tealiumiq.com/t5/Tealium-iQ-Tag-Management/Publish-Configuration/ta-p/13632. Thank you.

Thanks @kathleen_jo. I didn't have the reference to hand :-)

Can you disable this for example only on UAT and dev env and for Production is must be minified

[craig_rouse]

No, sorry @geoffrey_samper, this can only be done at profile level. To have an unminified version only on dev, you would need to:

1. Disable minification
2. Publish to dev only
3. Re-enable minification

Follow the steps above again each time you want to publish an unminified version of the files.

The best solution, however, is to use the built-in Pretty Print feature, which will de-minify for you.

Thanks,

Craig.
