Plone-legacy bundle questions

I had some success installing xmldirector.plone 0.3.6 on a current buildout.coredev checkout.

Q: it looks as if the JS code encapsulated inside a document.ready() handler is not executed at all

xml-director/xmldirector.plonecore/blob/master/xmldirector/plonecore/browser/resources/local.js


/* encodeHTML() */


if (!String.prototype.encodeHTML) {
  String.prototype.encodeHTML = function () {
    return this.replace(/&/g, '&amp;')
               .replace(/</g, '&lt;')
               .replace(/>/g, '&gt;')
               .replace(/"/g, '&quot;')
               .replace(/'/g, '&apos;');
  };
}


/* A custom sprintf() impelementation */


function sprintf(){
    var args = Array.prototype.slice.call(arguments);

I added an alert() to the code and after rebuilding the bundle (and a restart) I did not see the alert popping up.
I controlled that the new bundle was generated and loaded.

Q: is there a way to let Plone rebuild the legacy bundle automatically during development. Right now I need to click the build button every time after making JS changes on the filesystem.

Q1: did you get JavaScript errors, like $ being undefined?

Q2: if you activate the development mode in the resource registry, every resource is loaded from it's uncompiled version. ATTENTION: a whole page load takes quite long (~ minutes) because a lot of resources (less, js) are loaded and compiled on the fly.
