Reserved option to disable compression

[huseyinkozan]

I have trouble at runtime with apidoc. Few days ago I searched the sources for disabling the compression, but cannot find.

Is it possible to add an option to disable copression for the Node files ?

Here the apidoc error while requesting http://192.168.2.2/api/vendor/jquery.min.js?v=1466512139991. It works like this : http://192.168.2.2/api/vendor/jquery.min.js, but couldnt find what is adding non-cache stuff : ^ /

@huseyinkozan Can I ask why a documentation tool like apidoc would be running on a Tessel? Could this be done as a pre-deploy step?

If this is a needed feature, how do you envision it working with the current t2-cli deploy workflow? Is it a flag passed on t2 run or t2 push, i.e. t2 run index.js --no-compress?

[huseyinkozan]

@HipsterBrown You are right about apidoc deployment. Just packing all in one; api, gui, doc.

t2 push index.js --no-compress seems good to me.

Before I start implementing, I want to know more about this use case. If compression is turned off, it will mean that all of the JS will be deployed without any compression. It's also important to know that the only files that are compressed are those that are discovered via the dependency graph—which means they are require("foo") or require("/path/to/module").

Edit: Can you create a minimal project in a repo that I can clone and deploy?

[huseyinkozan]

Thank you @rwaldron for asking.

This is the second time that I want to disable the compression. First one was for debugging pusposes. After pushing, I tried to change the sources at the device (t2 root && nano /app/remote-script/index.js). For this case we can say we only need our developed sources, not the dependent libraries. Sometimes it is fast to change the souces at the device. For ex; trials.

Second one was the error at the first post of this issue. It will be very helpful to debug the stuation, if we can disable for all source and dependent files.

I cannot create a reproduce project now. But maybe later, if I have time.

Seems only t2 run command line help (t2 run --help) got documented. It also works at t2 push.
