Load non-minified version of CMP scripts on production for debugging

Load-version-cmp

Introduction

Testing CMP configurations on a live server can result in unreliable outcomes and disruptions to the user experience. The complexity of live debugging makes it frustrating for developers to resolve issues effectively.

Requestly simplifies this by allowing you to load non-minified CMP scripts in production, enabling more reliable and controlled debugging.

Load non-minified version of CMP

The Redirect Rule in Requestly allows you to redirect requests to load the non-minified version of CMP scripts instead of the minified ones. This is particularly useful for debugging and optimizing scripts in a production environment without disrupting live operations.

Load non-minified version
  • Another URL: You can redirect the request to a different URL. In this case, the redirection is happening to a new JavaScript file URL.
  • Local File: This option lets you redirect to a local file stored on your machine.
  • From Files/Mock server: You can also choose to redirect the request to a file hosted on a mock server or from files you’ve set up.
  • Source Condition: This determines which requests will be redirected. Here, any request containing https://example.com/cmp.min.js will be redirected.
  • Destination URL: This is the URL where the request is redirected. In the example, it’s redirecting to a new debug script.
  • Test URL Condition: You can check if the rules you’ve set up work correctly by testing them on specific URLs.
  • Filter Out Condition: You can apply filters to limit which requests are affected, making sure only the ones you want are modified.

Or create your own Rule by following the steps below

Here’s how to set up a redirect rule to load the non-minified version of CMP scripts for debugging on production:

  1. Open Requestly: Launch the Requestly app.
  2. Create a New Rule: Click on New Rule and select Redirect Rule.
  3. Enter the Minified CMP Script URL Pattern: Add the URL pattern for the minified CMP script you want to replace.
  4. Specify the Non-Minified CMP Script URL: Enter the URL of the non-minified version of the CMP script. This URL will be the target of the redirect.
    • Example Minified URL: https://example.com/cmp.min.js
    • Example Non-Minified URL: https://example.com/cmp.js
  5. Save the Rule: Click Save to create the rule.
