For whatever reason I cannot get usemin to write the output below is grunt file code. Its very straightforward
module.exports = function (grunt) {
grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-usemin');
grunt.initConfig(
{
useminPrepare: {
html: 'app/index.html',
options: {
dest: '/dist',
root: 'app'
}
}
}
);
grunt.registerTask('build', ['useminPrepare']);
};
It seems simple enough and my directory structure is as follows
|
+- app
| +- index.html
| +- assets
| +- js
| +- foo.js
| +- bar.js
+- dist
when I run > grunt useminPrepare I get the configuration output
Am I supposed to do something with the configuration out? Am I supposed to copy it anywhere.
I expect that the dist folder would be created by running the task but it is not
I would expect this
|
+- app
| +- index.html
| +- assets
| +- js
| +- foo.js
| +- bar.js
+- dist ///this should be created but it isn't and i have no idea why???
My HTML is the following
<html>
<body>
<!-- build:js assets/js/optimized.js -->
<script src="assets/js/foo.js"></script>
<script src="assets/js/bar.js"></script>
<!-- endbuild -->
</body>
</html>
Honest to god I looked everywhere and finally saw the same quesition on github. The answer is that you need to specify the tasks they dont get called by
useminPreparein other words I need to make my task like thisinstead of
The answer was incredibly frustrating because it is nowhere in the documentation.
