Grunt usemin task not working on nested files while minifying angular files
My document structure is root->public->angular->scripts->main->app.js . I have used yeoman angular generator and set up grunt . My html file looks like this
<div>
<script src="bower_components/jquery/jquery.js"></script>
<script src="bower_components/angular.js"></script>
<!-- build:js scripts/plugins.js -->
<script src="bower_components/bootstrap/js/bootstrap-alert.js"></script>
<!-- endbuild -->
<!-- build:js scripts/modules.js -->
<script src="bower_components/angular-bootstrap/ui-bootstrap-tpls.js"></script>
<!-- endbuild -->
<!-- build:js scripts/scripts.js -->
<script src="scripts/main/app.js"></script>
<!-- endbuild -->
</div>
The html file is in root->public->angular . After running grunt , the .tmp and the dist folder contains minified files from bower_components . But scripts.js is empty .If I place app.js outside the main folder in scripts then its being concatenated into tmp/scripts.js . Why this is so ? What am I doing wrong ??

Answer
Read the note on globbing at the top -- you need to change all the {,*/}* to **/* since your scripts are not a single level deep (i.e. scripts/app.js vs. scripts/folder/app.js)
