Yeoman Angular Generator Grunt Build scripts/vendor.js is Empty

Question

I have generated an angular project via yo angular [project-name], tried building it via grunt build. I checked the dist/scripts/vendor.d41d8cd9.js file and I see it empty. I found this issue and it didn't help me at all. If anyone can point me to the right direction, it would be greatly appreciated.

I found the answer somehow, I changed the build:js tag from:

<!-- build:js scripts/vendor.js -->
<!-- bower:js -->

<!-- endbower -->
<!-- endbuild -->

to:

<!-- build:js(./) scripts/vendor.js -->
<!-- bower:js -->

<!-- endbower -->
<!-- endbuild -->

and it solved my problem :)

Dude, you totally save me from hours of frustration :D thanks! – Pylorectomy

Yes indeed. but dammit, I feel like a flippen noob with this build system...such cryptic! Much directive! – Blague

Same here. Thanks dude. But still, I'm extremely upset with the Yeoman team. How on Earth can they release such a crap?! And it's not the first time. It's a very basic scenario to test before releasing. Too bad. Yeoman is so great, why squander its reputation ? – Rabinowitz

This was fixed at some point up to version 0.9.2 of generator-angular. I've noticed the same error when using 0.9.0-1 (As suggested the Yeoman codelab). – Alisealisen

interesting. i had to do direct opposite of this. I guess it has something to do with paths... – Uzial
