I use gulp-clean-css as a gulp.task to minify CSS.
My file path is css/mehr.css and the path of minified CSS will be css/mehr.min.css
But when I run the task :
gulp minify_css_task
The mehr.min.css is created, but it's empty!
output :
[11:45:01] Using gulpfile ~/mehr/gulpfile.js
[11:45:01] Starting 'minify_css_task'...
Original size of mehr.css: 7192
Minified size of mehr.css: 0
[11:45:02] Finished 'minify_css_task' after 68 ms
and my gulpfile.js is :
var cleanCSS = require('gulp-clean-css');
gulp.task('minify_css_task',[other_task], function() {
return gulp.src('css/mehr.css')
.pipe(cleanCSS({debug: true}, function(details) {
compatibility: 'ie8';
console.log('Original size of '+ details.name + ': ' + details.stats.originalSize);
console.log('Minified size of '+ details.name + ': ' + details.stats.minifiedSize);
}))
.pipe(rename({
suffix: '.min'
}))
.pipe(gulp.dest('css'))
.pipe(browserSync.reload({
stream: true
}))
});
I use latest version of gulp-clean-css :
npm view gulp-clean-css description dist-tags.latest version
output :
description = 'Minify css with clean-css.'
dist-tags.latest = '3.9.0'
version = '3.9.0'
There was /* in top of my css that I had forgot to close it :))
