Combining JS, Merge JS, Minify JS

[ci2014]

Hello everyone,

using the features to combine, merge and minify JS files in the Magento Backend, causes javascript errors, which leads to the problem, that the admin menu won't slide out.

http://magento/pub/static/version1450257641/adminhtml/Magento/backend/de_DE/requirejs/require.min.js Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 (Not Found)
http://magento/pub/static/version1450257641/adminhtml/Magento/backend/de_DE/mage/requirejs/mixins.min.js Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 (Not Found)

How may I disable this seemly buggy feature?

Thank you in advance.

Kind regards

Chris

@ci2014 I reported this problem a long time ago but they weren't able to reproduce it

@craigcarnell Thank you for referencing. I hope we will figure something out.

I disabled it via phpmyadmin in the table core_config_data, setting nearly all "paths" containing "merge" and "minify" in their names to 0, but left dev/template/minify_html 1, because this is not causing any problems. We should not ignore this bug though.

I have this issue now with the latest build. It happens after i enabled merging and minifying js files in the admin. but the moment i cant go back as all js is broken because of the 404 error of mixins and require.min,.js

We're running into the same issues... Fresh instance, fresh composer installation(2.0.5).
Luma OOB settings.

After setting the js merge+bundle+minify config and deploying static files, the front- and backend doesn't respond anymore, cause hhvm or php7fpm (or php whatever) processes are going up to 100%+ cpu which results in a partially frozen service. The process rests even 2min in space before it does stop after firing the the stop service from the cl. After stopping the service the fallback php7-fpm comes in, with the same results in our case.

We've to stopped the services by killing the pid's, re-edit the core_config_data and redeploy the static files. Clean all cache related and generated/static/di stuff. Restarted all services, but still we're getting 504 time-outs from one of our php backends.

Edit: Css minification was still set to 1 in core_config_data, after disabling and doing the same procedure as described above we're back in dev biz.

Short setup overview
HAProxy(SSL) -> Varnish 4 -> Nginx -> HHVM with fallback to PHP7.0-FPM

I can confirm I've got this problem (gewaechshaus) too. Quick fix available?

[gewaechshaus]

I don't know the current status... But there's a bunch of threads related to this issue.

Thanks, will keep an eye out for those threads as well.

This is still an issue, and i cant find anything in the DB related to minification in order to disable it !

all i see in core_config_data is

NOTHING about JS or CSS minifying at all

now stuck with a broken admin area and slow shop that does nothing
