Angular.js Module not found when grunt serve:dist, but grunt serve works fine

So I get this error whenever I execute grunt serve:dist :
vendor.7e2420d0.js:4 Uncaught Error: [$injector:modulerr] Failed to instantiate module prometheusApp due to:
Error: [$injector:modulerr] Failed to instantiate module restangular due to:
Error: [$injector:nomod] Module 'restangular' is not available! You either misspelled the module name or forgot to load it. If registering a module ensure that you specify the dependencies as the second argument.
The problem is that if I run grunt serve it works just fine. Obviously it has to do with the minification/uglify process. But since the error does not say anything else I cannot figure out how to solve it.
This is my Gruntfile:

I have no clue what could be wrong. How could I debug this error?

Angular finds the controller's dependencies from the names of arguments found in the constructor function. When you minify the JavaScript code for PrometheusApp, all of its function arguments get minified, and the Angular is not be able to find the modules.
There is a couple of ways to go about doing this.
inline annotation
$inject Property
Grunt plugin https://www.npmjs.com/package/grunt-ng-annotate plugin.
I would recommend using the $inject Property Annotation
This annotation allows the minifiers to rename the function parameters. When using this annotation functions need to be annotated with the $inject property. This is an array of service names to inject for this module.
var PrometheusApp = function($scope, customComponent) {
// Do Stuff here
}
PrometheusApp.$inject = ['$scope', 'customComponent'];
This is obviously a preference, all three options listed above will work just find. I prefer using the $inject Annotation as I fell its more explicit.
Take a look at the Angular documentation for dependency injection
https://docs.angularjs.org/guide/di

Try removing uglifyjs from your usemin process like below, to find out if restangular has been included in your vendor.js file. + Could I see your bower.json file too?
useminPrepare: {
html: '<%= yeoman.app %>/index.html',
options: {
dest: '<%= yeoman.dist %>',
flow: {
html: {
steps: {
js: ['concat'],
css: ['cssmin']
},
post: {}
}
}
}
},

Fail On $ grunt buildcontrol:pages jit-grunt Not Found

Simple App with Yeoman just testing to see if I can deploy... I have run:
npm install grunt-build-control --save-dev
npm install jit-grunt --save-dev
But I get an error from the terminal saying that the plug-in can't be found? I know there may be an answer in Static Mapping just not sure how to go about it.
Here is the error from the terminal:
$ grunt buildcontrol:pages
jit-grunt: Plugin for the "buildcontrol" task not found.
If you have installed the plugin already, please setting the static mapping.
See https://github.com/shootaroo/jit-grunt#static-mappings

I forgot to require 'grunt-build-control' in the Gruntfile.js:
grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-build-control');
Works fine now.

grunt sass task producing errors due to bourbon package

I am writing a grunt task file for my project. I have defined the sass task in that and installed all the required dependencies. I am able to run the same gruntfile on my friends computer, but on my computer the sass task produces this error.
Running "sass:dist" (sass) task
Syntax error: Invalid CSS after " webkit-image": expected ")", was ": -webkit- + $p..."
on line 21 of /home/chitrank/Documents/shaastr/frontend/frontend/frontend/app/minovate/bower_components/bourbon/dist/helpers/_linear-angle-parser.scss
from line 10 of /home/chitrank/Documents/shaastr/frontend/frontend/frontend/app/minovate/bower_components/bourbon/dist/_bourbon.scss
from line 6 of app/sass/main.scss
Use --trace for backtrace.
Warning: Exited with error code 1 Use --force to continue.
Aborted due to warnings.
Due to this error I am not able to perform sass task and need to do it on my friend's computer. I am also adding my Gruntfile.js for better overview of what my grunt tasks are and how it is working, please have a look.

If anyone has resolved this problem before please let me know.

This discussion says that this issue is caused by incompatibility between the versions of Sass and Bourbon.
Bourbon 4 require at least Sass 3.3 so if you are running a lower version you need to either downgrade Bourbon to 3.x or upgrade Sass

CSS/JS Files aren't being included in HTML with Grunt JS

Currently trying to process a build and I've gotten the source files to be included into the dist directory. But the files aren't being included into the index.html files within my yeoman webapp.
Just need to know what else I need to do to have these files included within the index.html build.

I had a similar problem. You have to provide a reference for wiredep part of the process, it wires the different bits of your web site together.
If you look at the index.html file created when you fist ran yeoman, you should seem some references to included files in the <-- comments. You need to duplicate these, with the files that you want to include between them.
The starting references is
<!--build:js({app,.tmp}) blah blah and the end references is <!-- endbuild -->

grunt usemin and concat: take a file already in dist first instead of app

I have two tasks when I build with grunt:
A first task preprocess:dist that copies app/scripts/config.js to dist/scripts/config.js and replaces // #echo FOO to BAR.
Then, usemin, that concats all app/scripts/**/*.js to dist/scripts/application.js.
Build task in Gruntfile:
grunt.registerTask('build', [
'clean:dist',
'preprocess:dist',
'useminPrepare',
...
'htmlmin'
'concat',
'usemin'
]
My include scripts in index.html:
<!-- build:js({.tmp,dist,app}) scripts/application.js -->
<script src="/scripts/config.js"></script>
<script src="/scripts/other_file.js"></script>
<script src="/scripts/yet_another_file.js"></script>
<!-- endbuild -->
Everything works fine, except that in the concatenated file dist/scripts/application.js, I have the config.js from app/scripts, and not the one from dist/scripts.
I tought that the ({.tmp,dist,app}) after build:js was for specifying where to take the files when concatenating, but still config.js is taken from the wrong directory (app and not dist).
So I end up with the config.js where // #echo VAR not replaced.
How can I tell concat/usemin to take config.js from dist and not app when concatenating ?
Note: One solution would be to have preprocess to put a config.processed.js in app/scripts, and then including this file instead of config.js, so that I don't have to change the way usemin works.
But then I have to put config.processed.js in .gitignore and I have a generated file inside my sources files...
I would prefer having this file generated in .tmp or dist.

I had the same problem, and I resolved with the following steps:
1) Use a Build Type different that "js" for your script, so the usemin plugin will ignore it on the build process. For example, "dev".
<!-- build:dev({.tmp,dist,app}) --><script src="/scripts/config.js"></script><!-- endbuild -->
Note that there is no spaces due to a bug on usemin (Issue 128). I'm running usemin version 2.1.1
With this, grunt sever will use your config.js from your Source Code.
2) Modify your preprocess task to put your preprocessed file in a temporary folder, like .tmp. For example:
dist: {
src: 'app/scripts/config.js', dest: '.tmp/scripts/config.processed.js'
}
3) Now you need to create a Grunt Task to Concat your config.processed.js in .tmp folder with the scripts/application.js in your dist folder that was generated dynamically by usemin.
For example:
concat: {
environment: {
dest: 'dist/scripts/application.js',
src: ['dist/scripts/application.js', '.tmp/scripts/config.processed.js']
}
},
If you are on Windows, you will need to use \\ instead of /
4) Finally, you need to put all together. Your build task should look like this:
grunt.registerTask('build', [
'clean:dist',
'includeSource:dist',
'preprocess:dist',
'useminPrepare',
'concurrent:dist',
'autoprefixer',
'concat',
'copy:dist',
'cdnify',
'ngmin',
'cssmin',
'concat:environment',
'uglify',
'rev',
'usemin'
]);

With this package:
https://www.npmjs.org/package/grunt-file-append
You could append the generated file to the concatenated temp file.
You should remove the config js's reference completely from the html, and add the file-append task after the concat task in the build tasklist to append the generated config file to the concatenated js.
