Jsmin doesn't treat backtick strings as strings

[Lazerbeak12345]

It's odd though, in line 152 and in line 288 it looks like it does have support for these strings: in fact it seems to be treating them as any other string. Perhaps the issue is in the next function when it removes comments?

I'm seeing the same problem, just came looking for this here.

          d3.select(`.tablerow-${year} .date`).text(`${formatDate(d.date)}/${year}`);
          d3.select(`.tablerow-${year} .count`).text(d.count);

is getting translated to

d3.select(`.tablerow-${year}.date`).text(`${formatDate(d.date)}/${year}`);d3.select(`.tablerow-${year}.count`).text(d.count);

Note the spaces missing before .date and .count in the two statements

Are you using the lastest (2019-10-30)?

JSMIN treats '' exactly the same as '"'. It will get confused if you nest '' inside of '${}' expressions, but humans do too, so I don't recommend doing that.

Have a happier 2022.

In the code that I encountered, only part of it was under my control - the rest in a proprietary WordPress plugin. You can't always choose how the code looks, or what semantics it uses.

It seems that you are using a version of JSMIN from the time before backtick was added to JavaScript.
