Closure Compiler: ERROR - cannot read

Question

I downloaded Google Closure Compiler from official Google website ( https://developers.google.com/closure/compiler/docs/gettingstarted_app ). And then run it to minify my widget.js but i received the error below:

C:\\Users\\Administrator\\Downloads\\compiler-latest>java -jar compiler.jar --js "wi dget.js" \\ --js_output_file "output.js" ERROR - Cannot read: \\

1 error(s), 0 warning(s)

I tried to change my widget.js content, if the widget.js contain some syntax error it will tell me know. But it seem that the "error - CANNOT READ \\" always show up even my widget.js is empty or just have a line alert('test');

How can i resolve that error?

Answer 1

You should run your compiler as following:

java -jar compiler.jar --js widget.js --js_output_file output.js

You can put multi js files and seperate by a space without double quote ("), single quote (') or slash (/) like your case.

Hope this help.
