Pagespeed rewrite_javascript everything except 1 single js file

I have a small issue with rewrite_javascript module which minify JS file. This function is awesome since pagespeed also generate a new URL for everyfile if we purge the cache, thus enable us to use Cloudfront cache easily with pagespeed's ShardDomain

However I encounter an issue with one of my file /js/min/app/common.js" which doesn't get rewrite at all despite the file under it has been rewrite.

I just don't get the idea why this could be happening.

Are there anyone have the same issue and found a solution?

Thank you

UPDATE:

Sorry for the time it takes for this question. I post here the details of my pagespeed configuration:

In HTTP block, I have: 

pagespeed InPlaceResourceOptimization on;
pagespeed PreserveUrlRelativity on;
pagespeed ForceCaching on;
pagespeed InPlaceRewriteDeadlineMs 100;

pagespeed EnableFilters collapse_whitespace;
pagespeed EnableFilters recompress_images;
pagespeed EnableFilters convert_meta_tags;
pagespeed EnableFilters prioritize_critical_css;
pagespeed EnableFilters extend_cache;
pagespeed EnableFilters rewrite_css,sprite_images;
pagespeed EnableFilters rewrite_javascript;
pagespeed EnableFilters extend_cache;

pagespeed GlobalStatisticsPath /pagespeed_global_statistics;
pagespeed GlobalAdminPath /pagespeed;
pagespeed EnableCachePurge on;
Solution

  • By default, Pagespeed will not rewrite JavaScript files that are considered "introspective". If you read the Pagespeed docs it states:

    ...a JavaScript file that calls document.getElementsByTagName('script') will not be rewritten

    Looking into your common.js file, there are lines which include the function call document.getElementsByTagName('script'). This is why Pagespeed will not rewrite the file.

    If you want to disable this Pagespeed check, in your nginx config, add this line:

    pagespeed AvoidRenamingIntrospectiveJavascript off;

    More info in the Pagespeed docs.
