Uncaught Reference Errors after optimization / minify process using nodejs

Issue Description

After customizing javascript files you can re-run steps to optimize the files for the sake of performance as described here:

https://community.jaspersoft.com/documentation/tibco-jasperreports-server-ultimate-guide/v790/customizing-javascript-files

A customer who uses visualize.js performed the steps above but then encountered an error in the browser console: Uncaught Reference Errors It was complaining about an error within visualize.js

Resolution

If you embed via visualize.js there is an additional step to perform between steps #9 and #10 in the documentation above.

From the "Working" directory, run a command specific to visualize, passing in your own "js-optimization-output" directory in the "out" arg:

nodejsnode r.js -o js-sourcesscriptsvisualizebuild.js optimize=uglify2 out=c:Usersghudsontestjs-optimization-outputvisualizevisualize.js

This applies to JasperReports Server versions 7.5, 7.8, 7.9
