I have tracked down the problem to jquery.min.js from libjs-jquery, version
1.11.3+dfsg-3
That package contains this:
$ ls -lah /usr/share/javascript/jquery
total 580K
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4.0K Sep 23 00:51 .
drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4.0K Sep 23 00:51 ..
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 278K Aug 29 03:46 jquery.js
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 Aug 29 03:46 jquery.lite.js -> jquery.min.js
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 144K Aug 29 03:46 jquery.min.js
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 148K Aug 29 03:46 jquery.min.map
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 Aug 29 03:46 jquery.pack.js -> jquery.min.js
Where jquery.min.js is obtained by uglifying jquery.js. Extract from
jquery-1.11.3+dfsg/debian/rules:
dist/jquery.min.js dist/jquery.min.map: dist/jquery.js
uglifyjs \
--source-map dist/jquery.min.map \
--source-map-url jquery.min.map \
--output dist/jquery.min.js \
$^
There are at least two problems there:
- jquery.min.map should not be distributed in the first place
- jquery.min.js contains this at the very end:
[...]
"jquery",[],function(){return jQuery})}var
_jQuery=window.jQuery,_$=window.$;jQuery.noConflict=function(deep){if(window.$===jQuery){window.$=_$}if(deep&&window.jQuery===jQuery){window.jQuery=_jQuery}return
jQuery};if(typeof noGlobal===st
rundefined){window.jQuery=window.$=jQuery}return jQuery});
//# sourceMappingURL=jquery.min.map
See that comment? Remember it
When Wt builds, jquery.min.js, Wt.min.js and Boot.min.js are converted to C
by the filetostring.cmake macro called in src/CMakeLists.txt. This
generates JQuery_js.C, Boot_js.C and Wt_js.C.
The extraneous comment in /usr/share/javascript/jquery/jquery.min.js
results in this in JQuery_js.C:
"jquery\",[],function(){return jQuery})}var
_jQuery=window.jQuery,_$=window.$;jQuery.noConflict=function(deep){if(window.$===jQuery){window.$=_
$}if(deep&&window.jQuery===jQuery){window.jQuery=_jQuery}return
jQuery};if(typeof
noGlobal===strundefined){window.jQuery=window.$=jQuery}return
jQuery});\r\n"
"//# sourceMappingURL=jquery.min.map";
std::vector<const char *> JQuery_js()
{
std::vector<const char *> retval;
retval.push_back(JQuery_js1);
retval.push_back(JQuery_js2);
retval.push_back(JQuery_js3);
return retval;
}
}
When Wt generates JavaScript and that comment gets in the middle, it causes
errors.
Therefore, I think the problem boils down to bad minification of jquery.js
in the libjs-jquery package.
I will report the bug
