Index was outside the bounds of the array in @Scripts.Render

For each controller have a folder (with the same name controler), and for each action a script file.

Folder structure

For each file is creating a bundle following the pattern: "~/Scripts/Controllers/{controller-name}/{filename-without-extension}"

bundles.IncludePerFile(new DirectoryInfo(server.MapPath("~/Scripts/Controllers")), "~/Scripts/Controllers/{0}/{1}", 
    (dir,file) => string.Format("~/Scripts/Controllers/{0}/{1}", dir, Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(file)), "*.js");

IncludePerFile is an extension method I created to perform this task

Then one bundle for: ~/Scripts/Controllers/processos/pasta should exist!
And to confirm this:

Bundle exist

So far so correct! The bundle exists!

Running app

When I run the application, the following error occurs:

Bundle error

Wrongly and inefficient to repair the error:

If I change this:

@Scripts.Render("~/Scripts/Controllers/processos/pasta")

to this:

@Scripts.Render("~/Scripts/Controllers/processos/pasta.js")

No error is generated. But the file is not minified since there is effectively a bundle. (I have already put in release mode and published application!)

Full error

Index was outside the bounds of the array.

I've had the same error in this question: StyleBundle Index was outside the bounds of the array

And answer is pretty simple: you have to update your Microsoft Web Optimization & WebGrease packages (at this time 1.1.2 & 1.6.0 versions)
