` inside `` but outside of ``. You should end up with a section config that looks like the following: ```xml

``` Next paste the following XML **after** `` ```xml ``` Once I did this the razor views could compile, and it seemed to work, but not quite... ## SquishIt cannot resolve file paths Once I got it up and running, things did not seem right. So I started combing through google. I stumbled across a [thread](https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/squishit/YBsUiL9v1Ow/7lBJmMIHGMoJ) where the creator of SquishIt noted SquishIt was having issues with resolving file paths. This was caused by a change to Nancy. He notes a [commit](https://github.com/AlexCuse/SquishIt.NancySample/commit/7338026d4d425960151978171596749066b460bc) to the sample application that fixes the problem. In nuget I updated SquishIt with the `-pre` flag so I could get the latest release. Once I did I implemented the following class (from the gitcommit): ```c-like using Nancy; using SquishIt.Framework; using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Linq; using System.Web; namespace Class.Web { public class NancyPathTranslator : IPathTranslator { private readonly IRootPathProvider _rootPathProvider; public NancyPathTranslator(IRootPathProvider rootPathProvider) { _rootPathProvider = rootPathProvider; } public string ResolveAppRelativePathToFileSystem(string file) { // Remove query string if (file.IndexOf('?') != -1) { file = file.Substring(0, file.IndexOf('?')); } return _rootPathProvider.GetRootPath() + "/" + file.TrimStart('~').TrimStart('/'); } public string ResolveFileSystemPathToAppRelative(string file) { var root = new Uri(_rootPathProvider.GetRootPath()); return root.MakeRelativeUri(new Uri(file, UriKind.RelativeOrAbsolute)).ToString(); } } } ``` And then added ```c-like Bundle.ConfigureDefaults().UsePathTranslator(new NancyPathTranslator(new AspNetRootSourceProvider())); ``` Which seemed to work. I believe if you have your file paths be the same as the paths called by the HTML, it will probably work fine without the above fix. ## Scripts/ folder doesn't work This isn't actually a SquishIt problem, but I didn't notice this until I installed SquishIt. Files in a Scripts/ folder will not be served up by Nancy. Back to Google I went, and I found my answer on [stack overflow](http://stackoverflow.com/a/13517803). Apparently Nancy only uses Content/ as the content directory, for static content. I ended up adding the following to my ConfigureConventions override. ```c-like protected override void ConfigureConventions(Nancy.Conventions.NancyConventions nancyConventions) { nancyConventions.StaticContentsConventions.AddDirectory("Scripts","Scripts/"); base.ConfigureConventions(nancyConventions); } ``` The AddDirectory requires 2 strings, the first being the route to expect, the second is the directory it needs. This will enable the scripts folder to work in its entirety. You can use this to add other content directories. For me this worked fine. ## Serving content Now that it all worked I added `Bundle.Css().Add("~/Content/bootstrap.css").AsCached("bootstrap", "~/assets/css/bootstrap");` to my ApplicationStartup override. Created a module to serve up the static content (stolen from [github](https://github.com/NancyFx/Nancy/wiki/SquishIt-with-Nancy)) . ```c-like public class ServeAsset : NancyModule { public ServeAsset():base("/assets") { Get["/js/{name}"] = parameters => CreateResponse(Bundle.JavaScript().RenderCached((string)parameters.name), Configuration.Instance.JavascriptMimeType); Get["/css/{name}"] = parameters => CreateResponse(Bundle.Css().RenderCached((string)parameters.name), Configuration.Instance.CssMimeType); } Response CreateResponse(string content, string contentType) { return Response .FromStream(() => new MemoryStream(Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(content)), contentType) .WithHeader("Cache-Control", "max-age=45"); } } ``` Then added ` @Html.Raw(Bundle.Css().RenderCachedAssetTag("bootstrap"))` to my razor view, and by magic it works. As a side note, it will only minify if you're not in debug mode. So if you're application's webconfig has `` you may want flip it to false to see the minified files. This behavior can be overridden with the `.ForceRelease()` as part of your bundle. ex. `Bundle.Css().Add("~/Content/bootstrap.css").ForceRelease().AsCached("bootstrap", "~/assets/css/bootstrap");` ## Conclusion Well after the work above I was finally generating minified files. SquishIt's ability to minify quickly is very nice. The way it manages files reminds me of the [MVC4 Bundling](http://www.asp.net/mvc/tutorials/mvc-4/bundling-and-minification), but SquishIt allows for much greater control over the process.
