I am not sure how to find out more about whats wrong with my .js file, but if I turn "defaultDebugEnaled = true" then it works fine, but putting it to false makes me get this error
And I can't seem to toggle anything to make it give me a more specific error, I only know that it fails when trying to minify it.
Also this only happens when I include one certain file, but this is work so can't just post that file.

Reset to default 6"Missing formal parameter" means that a function definition is missing a parameter. For example
/**
* @param x ...
* @param y ...
*/
function f(x) { // Only one formal parameter.
...
}
f(1, 2); // Called with 2 actual parameters.
the function f is missing a formal parameter y.
EDIT:
https://github./wycats/handlebars.js/issues/93 discusses a similar issue and suggests the problem is that YUI pressor treats certain JS identifiers (incorrectly) as reserved words and issues this error when a reserved word is used as a formal parameter
$ java -jar lib/closurepiler.jar --js js/handlebars.1.0.0.beta.3.js js/handlebars.1.0.0.beta.3.js:667: ERROR - Parse error. missing formal parameter Handlebars.AST.BooleanNode = function(boolean) {I have a version that seems to be working in my fork. Main change was to remove reserved word with s/boolean/bool/g Also linted the input .js files for consistency.
This error can also appear when using parametres like this:
function functionName( markers, boolean )
In this case boolean will cause the error.
I had this same problem yesterday (which turned out to be 'long' used a parameter - i just renamed to longitude) - and the best approach for me was to feed the JS manually to these two tools: http://www.javascriptlint./online_lint.php and an online YUI pressor http://refresh-sf./yui/
between the two it was easy to find the errors and verify that it would press.
