You're right, the author probably didn't provide externs and/or exports, so the tests fails. It's not really that much of an effort, especially if you're supposed to be testing the tool itself. Considering that the author is already testing libraries that have externs/exports written for them already, just shows the lack of care of the tests.

Google Closure is the best at minification but it's also the worst less pragmatic option for 99% of projects.
