Re: GoogleBot is using the wrong permutation?

Hi Ed,

Looks like the googlebot user agent is not handled by GWT permutations. I have collapsed all permutations and I am still getting 404 in my web server logs where the google bot is trying to get the undefined.cache.js

An interim solution / workaround until the GWT crew can fix this is mentioned here in the previous conversation we had at https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/google-web-toolkit/tmUeYATU2kA/6F8OjCH1CgAJ

The fix was to

$sudo ln -s /var/lib/tomcat7/webapps/myapp/myapp/D44347868....cache.js /var/lib/tomcat7/webapps/myapp/myappundefined.nocache.js

after every deployment.

Here is the script version
sudo ln -s `ls /var/lib/tomcat7/webapps/myapp/myapp/*.cache.js | head -n 1` /var/lib/tomcat7/webapps/myapp/myapp/undefined.nocache.js

after every deployment.

I was already doing

$sudo touch /var/lib/tomcat7/webapps/myapp/myapp/myapp.nocache.js

after every deployment, so it's one more line that shouldn't exist in the first place in the deployment script.

Has anybody experiences the following situation?

GoogleBot is using a permutation that doesn't exists (anymore)? :(

Details:

Googlebot (GB) comes by to crawl the site (build with GWT 2.7.0: leuker.nl) and generates some exception on some page, namely leuker.nl/zorgtoeslag/acties), this only occurs when GB accesses the site. The exception looks like:

---

Cannot call method 'xg' of null

        at Unknown.NOb(https://leuker.nl/aangifte/acties) ~[na:na]

        at Unknown.Mrd(https://leuker.nl/aangifte/acties) ~[na:na] 

        .....

The deObfuscator in the backend complaints that it's receiving a permutation from the frontend, that doesn't exists, and checking it manually, it really doesn't exists... It had that already a few times when deploying new versions.

So:

1) What permutation is GB using ? I could it be a cashed one (old one) ?

2) I can't solve this issue without deObfuscating (I don't want to put a pretty-version online, it's too big).

Any idea ?
