Problem installing MinifyX

I have a site that had version 1.7.1 of MinifyX. Sitedash flagged this as an unknown version. I don’t remember where I got it from, but this extra on MODX.com goes only up to version 1.4.4 before jumping to version 2.0.2. So I removed version 1.7.1 from the site and installed 2.0.2. But the site now crashes with this error:

[2025-04-06 11:06:03] (ERROR @ [core path]/components/minifyx/model/minifyx/minifyx.class.php : 14) PHP warning: require_once([core path]/components/minifyx/vendor/autoload.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory

Indeed, installing the newest MinifyX did not install the vendor/autoload.php file — in fact no “vendor” folder at all. Shouldn’t it have?


Update: Looks like Modstore Pro has Minify 1.7.1.

Was the installation successful?
I believe the “vendor” folder should get added when composer runs during the intallation. (There is a composer.phar file in core/components/minifyx/)


Why version 2.0.2 ? The current version is 2.0.4-pl.

No, it didn’t install.

And I meant just that the version numbers jumped from 1.4.1 to 2.0.2. I installed 2.0.4.

BUT . . .
It seems the problem was that the fileinfo PHP extension wasn’t installed. Once I did that, MinifyX finished installation correctly.
