templateUrl is not working after minification

I have a website that i built with yeoman angular-fullstack. I am trying to minify the project and for the most part it works. The only issue I have is I have a popup dialog that isnt working. I have narrowed the problem down to the templateUrl command when calling on the material dialog.
controller:
function openLoginDialog(ev) {
$mdDialog.show({
controller: 'loginCtrl',
templateUrl: '../../Dialogs/loginDialog/loginDialog.html',
targetEvent: ev,
locals: {
createAccount: false,
charterID: null
},
clickOutsideToClose: true
});
}
The application is also using grunt. I belive the problem is the templateUrl's path no longer exists due to the minification. I can not however, figure out how to get around this issue and have been banging my head on a wall. I have attempted to use templateCache, but there is no way to inject all the html into the cache. I would have to copy and paste it into a javascript file and that is not maintainable. I attempted to use the script tags like so:
<script type="text/ng-template" id="loginDialogId.tpl">
<!---- HTML CONTENT ---->
</script>
and then call the file byt templateCahce.get('loginDialogId'); but that did not work. I have a feeling I have to do something in the grunt file with ngTemplate but I have no idea how to do it and I cannot find any documentation that makes sense. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Have you tried openLoginDialog.$inject = ['ev', '$mdDialog']?
More info here: https://github.com/angular/material/issues/5888
Also, in general you'll want to follow best practices: Angularjs minify best practice

I was able to solve the problem. When the application got minified, all html and js files were pushed into one file. So all directories are now at the same level. So my path was ../../Dialogs/loginDialog/loginDialog.html when it should have been just ../../Dialogs/loginDialog/loginDialog.html

Error while running grunt "error occurred while processing a template"

I've generated an app using yeoman. ("yo angular")
While runnning "grunt" it fails with error.
Warning: An error occurred while processing a template
(Object function (obj) {
obj || (obj = {});
var __t, __p = '';
with (obj) {
__p +=
((__t = ( yeoman.app )) == null ? '' : __t) +

}
return __p
}
has no method 'indexOf'). Use --force to continue.
I have no clue why this error is coming .
I have made no changes to the generated app.
Also I don't understand why every time i generate an app node_modules folder is created.
Why can't those modules be installed globally ?

I was able to fix this same issue by re-running all my grunt install commands in the project root of the site.
npm install grunt --save-dev
npm install
npm update
npm install grunt-contrib-less
I ran into this issue after merging in work from a few other devs that were working on the same project and had all installed grunt separately from each other. My assumption is that the different installs caused a version conflict.

Save posted JSON in grunt server to file

I'm trying to store the json data posted in the grunt server, now I'm receiving the data in a variable and I can make a response with the body of the post. But how could I save this variable into a file in /api directory to work with this data in an angularjs app? I'm new using grunt and angularJS.

I think I have found a solution, is using the code grunt.file.write when I receive the post code.
var bodyParser = require("body-parser");
var postResponder = function(request, response, next) {
if (request.method === 'POST') {
console.log(request.method + " " + request.url);
response.setHeader('Content-Type', 'application/text');
response.statusCode = 200;
jsonFile = JSON.stringify(request.body);
response.end(JSON.stringify(request.body));
grunt.file.write('./app/data/test.js', jsonFile);
} else if (request.method === 'GET') {
console.log(request.method + " " + request.url);
} else {
next();
}
};
But I accept more and better solutions.

'Caller', 'Callee', strict mode error for Angular app when deployed using Yeoman

I've built an angular app using Yeoman's Angular generator which works perfectly locally. However, when deployed to heroku, nothing shows up. The console error is "Uncaught TypeError: 'caller', 'callee', and 'arguments' properties may not be accessed on strict mode functions or the arguments objects for calls to them".
I think I've traced it down to the Grunt build tasks, which minify all the js file and html files together. Is there a way that I can simply concat the js into a single file and not minify to avoid these issues?
Here's my Gruntfile.js
// Generated on 2014-11-18 using generator-angular-fullstack 2.0.13

You can use the arguments array, but not callee or caller in strict mode. This is a javascript thing. It doesn't have anything to do with angular, yeoman, minification, heroku or anything else.

Grunt: Concurrent:server causes "Warning: Task "coffee:server" not found."

I am new to Grunt and got a web template that uses coffee script. I have merged the Gruntfile.js to include the coffee scripts but I get the following error when running grunt:
Running "concurrent:server" (concurrent) task
Running "copy:styles" (copy) task
Done, without errors.
Warning: Warning: Task "coffee:server" not found. Use --force to continue.
I have installed grunt-coffee-server. But don't know how to fix this problem.
This is the concurrent definition:
concurrent: {
