Re: Exceptions when compiling obfuscated; pretty is fine

Thanks for the feedback.

- I had already given up on using closure compile since it was causing a bunch of problems in funky CSS things I do.

- I tried optimize level 0 and 9 for each setting.

- Yes, it works with both DETAILED and PRETTY.

The thing thats baffling me is that this is all code that has worked and worked with this version of the tools.  I must have changed something small that has blown things up.

I've not seen this specific issue (GWT 2.5.0 from Juno or maven command line on both mac and linux) in my projects that use RequestFactory, at least not from a source where I can point to as our own JSNI mistakes.

One kind of error I've seen that only emerges in OBF is JSNI local variable rewriting. In the specific cases I'm referring to, it usually only matters when something is relying on that name staying the same, such as an eval. Which is not great code to have in a library anyway...

If using 2.5.0 and the optional Closure Compiler optimization, more issues like this can arise - Closure is much more aggressive than style=OBF.

One more thing to consider - is your optimization level the same when running as both OFB and PRETTY? By default, setting the style to PRETTY turns down the optimizations level. I'm having trouble backing up this statement with source code, so take it with a grain of salt, but perhaps try setting -optimize 9 (see https://developers.google.com/web-toolkit/doc/latest/DevGuideCompilingAndDebugging#DevGuideCompilerOptions) or optimizationLevel set to 9 if using maven (see http://mojo.codehaus.org/gwt-maven-plugin/compile-mojo.html#optimizationLevel).

And finally, does it work with DETAILED? The string interning optimization is skipped in PRETTY, as to make code more readable, but is run when you use DETAILED, as a sort of way to get slightly readable OBF code.

If all of these don't work, you may be left with using sourcemaps to seewhere in Java code it is failing, or pause on exception in a JS debugger, and try to find a variable or stack frame that looks like code you know to see where it is happening.

Suddenly I am getting all kinds of runtime exceptions when compile obfuscated.  If I compile set to pretty, everything is fine.  This is not new code and I did not just update my tools.  I have tried completely cleaning everything out and rebuilding, reverting to old known good code, etc to no avail.

I am using GWT 2.5 + Eclipse Juno on a Mac.  I am running on the assumption that I must have changed something in the environment but I don't know what.

The most common exception is an UnsupportedOperationException from ValueCode.java:339 when making RequestFactory calls (.fire).
