spin.js breaks whole build process

[9mm]

So this person decided to name their bower package with a file extension... really kind of stupid I think.

What is the easiest way to fix all this? The original problem was with rev, i tried a hacky fix and now the problem is with usemin:js.

Is there a way to rename a folder with bower or something, or an easier way I'm not thinking of? Thanks!

I think #420 is related, give that a shot?

@9mm in your grunt file, does the usemin config have this line:

    usemin: {
      ...
      js: ['<%= yeoman.dist %>/public/{,*/}*.js'],
      ...
    }

same with rev:

    rev: {
      dist: {
        files: {
          src: [
            '<%= yeoman.dist %>/public/{,*/}*.js',
            ...
          ]
        }
      }
    }

If so, I'm wondering if changing them to:

'<%= yeoman.dist %>/public/**/*.js'

might help?

Still doesn't fix. I had to change them to this and break them out separately:

          //'<%= yeoman.dist %>/public/{,*/}*.js',        // original line (spin.js breaks)
            '<%= yeoman.dist %>/public/app/{,*/}*.js',    // replacement
            '<%= yeoman.dist %>/public/assets/{,*/}*.js', // replacement

This seems like it could be a common issue if Bower allows package names to contain file extensions.

Using <%= yeoman.dist %>/public/**/*.js seemed to work for me, but is there any danger of this causing other problems the way this app is put together? I assume that the {,*/} was put in for some reason.

using <%= yeoman.dist %>/public/**/*.js doesn't work either i am using typeahead.js which is causing this issue

I've got the same issue with animate.css. I solved it by excluding directories with .css or .js at the first level of bower_components:

rev: {
  dist: {
    files: {
      src: [
        '<%= yeoman.dist %>/public/{,*/}*.js',
        '<%= yeoman.dist %>/public/{,*/}*.css',
        '<%= yeoman.dist %>/public/assets/images/{,*/}*.{png,jpg,jpeg,gif,webp,svg}',
        '<%= yeoman.dist %>/public/assets/fonts/*',
        '!<%= yeoman.dist %>/public/bower_components/*.{css,js}'
      ]
    }
  }
}

I had a similar issue, stefbach pointed out that this issue was resolved in v3 of usemin. I did not try it, but this could be a great improvement!

If you do not want to exclude the whole bower_components directory, you can exclude the affected library's folder and include the libraries .js files again. Here an example for 'auth0.js':

        '<%= yeoman.dist %>/public/{,*/}*.js',
        '!<%= yeoman.dist %>/public/bower_components/auth0.js',
        '<%= yeoman.dist %>/public/bower_components/auth0.js/{,*/}*.js',
