I have an angular app that was scaffolded by the yeoman angular generator, and I am using the grunt file that yo angular created. I changed the globbing, but that didn't fix it.

Running grunt serve:dist on my app correctly concatenates and copies all the app files (app.js and all services, controllers etc) to the dist folder as a single file, but the name of that concatenated file is never inserted into index.html. Instead all the original file names remain, but of course those files aren't in the dist so the app fails when it's run.

Here is the relevant part of index.html before grunting.

 <!-- build:js({.tmp,app}) scripts/scripts.js -->
  <script src="scripts/app.js"></script>
  <script src="scripts/controllers/main.js"></script>
  <script src="scripts/controllers/about.js"></script>
  <script src="scripts/controllers/users.js"></script>
  <script src="scripts/services/users.js"></script>
  <script src="scripts/directives/navbar.js"></script>
  <script src="scripts/services/status.js"></script>
  <script src="scripts/controllers/entity.js"></script>
  <script src="scripts/services/entities.js"></script>
  <script src="scripts/controllers/form.js"></script>
  <script src="scripts/services/forms.js"></script>
  <script src="scripts/directives/blurb.js"></script>
  <script src="scripts/directives/group-header.js"></script>
  <script src="scripts/directives/multiple-choice.js"></script>
  <script src="scripts/directives/standard-question.js"></script>
  <script src="scripts/directives/sub-group-header.js"></script>
  <script src="scripts/directives/textarea-question.js"></script>
  <script src="scripts/services/formsummaries.js"></script>
  <script src="scripts/services/answers.js"></script>
  <script src="scripts/services/auth.js"></script>
  <script src="scripts/services/authinterceptor.js"></script>
  <script src="scripts/controllers/login.js"></script>
  <script src="scripts/directives/breadcrumbs.js"></script>
  <script src="scripts/directives/statusbar.js"></script>
  <!-- endbuild -->

And here it is after grunting. Notice that the references to the vendor scripts were correctly replaced with a reference to the concatenated vendor.js file, but the rest of the references were untouched. I have to manually replace them with a reference to the scripts.js file if the app is to work.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks!

Here is the grunt.js file I am using, as created by yo angular, with only the globbing changed as per its own suggestion.

      // Generated on 2015-02-01 using generator-angular 0.10.0
'use strict';

// # Globbing
// for performance reasons we're only matching one level down:
// 'test/spec/**/*.js'
// use this if you want to recursively match all subfolders:
// 'test/spec/**/*.js'

  // Load grunt tasks automatically
  require('load-grunt-tasks')(grunt);

  // Time how long tasks take. Can help when optimizing build times

I ran into this same problem and the issue was that I had moved my build to be somewhere other than the 'dist' directory, which is the default if none is provided. Perhaps your options.dest path isn't correct

Turned out I had an out-of-date version of NPM, thanks to the slight complexities of NPM in Windows. To update NPM I had to go into the program files(x86)/nodejs directory and run the npm update command from there. Once I updated NPM, I was able to update grunt and yeoman, and one of those updates fixed the problem detailed above.

Just in case anyone has the same issue . . . I gather it's not common.
