Script.Render(absolute or partial path) is not disabling the bundling for compilation debug=true

Does any of you know why the Script.Render is not disabling the bundle for compilation debug ="true" when the bundle path is not relative to the root folder ?

I am creating the bundle using a relative path to the root like (this path type is mandatory, otherwise an exception will be thrown):

Bundle jsBundle = new ScriptBundle("~/bundles/myscripts/");

But when I try to render it I need to provide the full url like below:

Scripts.Render("http://myserver/bundles/myscripts/")

And the bundle is enabled irrespective of compilation debug mode.

Any ideas what I am missing?

My question is very related to this question - I am rendering my bundle that way - now: how can I make it disabled when compilation debug="true" ?

Any ideas ?

Thanks! Ovi

To answer to my own question: Scripts.Render doesn't toggle the bundling depending on compilation mode if the bundle url is provided as full url like:

Scripts.Render("http://myserver/bundles/myscripts/")

The approach I took was to create my own mvc helper to render the bundle:

public MvcHtmlString BundleScript(string bundleUrl)
{
        var javascriptBuilder = new StringBuilder();
        bool filesExist = false;
        bool isDynamicEnabled = IsDynamicEnabled();

        if (!isDynamicEnabled)
        {
            IEnumerable<string> fileUrls = GetBundleFilesCollection(bundleUrl);
            string rootVirtualDirectory = "~/content/js/";

            if (fileUrls != null)
            {
                foreach (string fileUrl in fileUrls)
                {
                    javascriptBuilder.Append(new ScriptTag().WithSource(GetScriptName(fileUrl, rootVirtualDirectory)).ToHtmlString());
                }
                filesExist = true;
            }
        }

        if (isDynamicEnabled || !filesExist)
        {
            javascriptBuilder.Append(new ScriptTag().WithSource(bundleUrl).ToHtmlString());
        }
        return MvcHtmlString.Create(javascriptBuilder.ToString());
}

private IEnumerable<string> GetBundleFilesCollection(string bundleVirtualPath)
{
        var collection = new BundleCollection { BundleTable.Bundles.GetBundleFor(bundleVirtualPath) };
        var bundleResolver = new BundleResolver(collection);
        return bundleResolver.GetBundleContents(bundleVirtualPath);
}

private bool IsDynamicEnabled()
{
        return BundleTable.EnableOptimizations;
}
private static string GetScriptName(string scriptUrl, string virtualDirectory)
{
        return scriptUrl.Replace(virtualDirectory, string.Empty);
}
