I am looking for a better glob pattern for usemin, i want to to find all .js files but exclude the .spec.js files. I have the following solution so far.

<script src="components/**/*(.js|!(*.spec.js|*.scss))"></script>

The solution i have at the moment requires me to keep adding file extensions to exclude them, else they get picked up, for example .html files.

I tried to make it only look for .js files and exclude the .spec.js from them but it does not seem to work.

Also adding a !components/**/*.spec.js as another script below does not seem to work.

This glob includes all *.js but not *.spec.js:

components/**/!(*.spec).js
