I forgot to mention that:
compilecss and compilejs options produce ALWAYS the same output, compared to the mess we had in grunt!

You appear to be loading the wrong jQuery UI package from NPM.

Should be this: https://www.npmjs.com/package/jquery-ui
not this: https://www.npmjs.com/package/jquery-ui-dist

Also, can we kill the uncompressed CSS files please? We're not using them at all.

Unless you're going to kill support for the core templates and core media loading uncompressed files in debug mode they should stay.

@mbabker - Atum doesn't have any uncompressed CSS files and works perfectly fine in debug mode: https://github.com/joomla/joomla-cms/tree/4.0-dev/administrator/templates/atum/css

I know it all works fine in debug mode. JHtml only uses uncompressed if it can take a .min.foo filename, convert it to .foo, and find a file that exists. So if uncompressed media doesn't exist then the compressed file still gets loaded.

This might be OK for the template media, but it should still be possible to get the core media in uncompressed format. Which means either we keep them in repo & ship them or people have to go through extra steps to compile them.

@dgt41 it is still WIP?

I got error:

@dgt41 ignore me, all works fine

@dgt41 one note:

       "srcjs": "dist",
       "srccss": "dist",
        "filesjs": [
          "cropper.js",
          "cropper.min.js",
          "cropper.js.map"
        ],

I found it confusing, because you have "srcjs": "dist", and dist usually contain distributive files, not source ?

And question.
Is there no way to get the module path, and scan for available files, automatically?
something like :

var pathToModule = require.resolve('moduleBlabLa');
var files = scanforJsCss(pathToModule);

@Fedik that's an interesting idea, I have to explore that

Could we get the conflicts on this fixed please and then merge?

Any improvements can be made at a later date

Grrrr

Just recompile and remove the grunt-settings.yaml

@wilsonge important please merge this!!

@wilsonge please merge. This is a choice made by the JS team and will also assist the Ciaran and myself who are the primary people making use of the feature.

@wilsonge any decision here, before you merge more things and make this harder to get it again in sync?

Fix the conflicts and I'll merge it. I'm very uneasy about this to be honest. I still think gulp might be better for us. But let's just get it in so it's not blocking you guys

This is in-sync again. Ping @wilsonge

You need to fix travis please

Travis is happy again

Thank you!

@dgt41
I'm afraid this has broken, among other stuff, the radio field on Firefox.
See #19403

We are in the process pf fixing things
