Grunt exclude concating some files during build

I am using Yeoman generator-angular, and it gives me this grunt file (I have added some tasks but didn't change the given):
'use strict';
// # Globbing
// for performance reasons we're only matching one level down:
// 'test/spec/{,*/}*.js'
// use this if you want to recursively match all subfolders:

module.exports = function (grunt) {
// Load grunt tasks automatically
require('load-grunt-tasks')(grunt);
// Time how long tasks take. Can help when optimizing build times
require('time-grunt')(grunt);
// Configurable paths for the application
var appConfig = {
app: require('./bower.json').appPath || 'app',
dist: 'dist'
};
// Define the configuration for all the tasks
grunt.initConfig({

};
My file structure is like so:
app/
scripts/
directives/
dt-grid.js
controllers/
main.js
app.js
During the build task I don't want to add the main.js file to the scripts.js file generated in the dist/scripts folder.
I believe it is done by some concat task, but I can't understand which task executes it and where its configuration.

It might be the filerev. Try
filerev: {
dist: {
src: [
'<%= yeoman.dist %>/scripts/{,*/}*.js',
'<%= yeoman.dist %>/styles/{,*/}*.css',
'<%= yeoman.dist %>/images/{,*/}*.{png,jpg,jpeg,gif,webp,svg}',
'<%= yeoman.dist %>/styles/fonts/*',
'!<%= yeoman.dist %>/scripts/controllers/main.js'
]
}
},

Yeoman generated Gruntfile uses grunt-usemin for minification. Grunt usemin uses annotations inside html for identifying the files it needs to work upon.
Change your following code in index.html
<!-- build:js({.tmp,app}) scripts/scripts.js -->
<script src="scripts/app.js"></script>
<script src="scripts/controllers/main.js"></script>
<script src="scripts/controllers/about.js"></script>
<!-- endbuild -->
with this. Just take the main.js out of the build annotations.
<script src="scripts/controllers/main.js"></script>
<!-- build:js({.tmp,app}) scripts/scripts.js -->
<script src="scripts/app.js"></script>
<script src="scripts/controllers/about.js"></script>
<!-- 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',

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.

Grunt connect-modrewrite do not work

I used generator-angular for create my project.
I use HTML5 History. ($locationProvider.html5Mode(true).hashPrefix('!');)
For url rewrite I use connect-modrewrite
I did all like described in tutorial.

What I did wrong ? When I reload page in browser I've got "Cannot GET /offers"

Problem was with grunt-connect-proxy and connect-modrewrite.
middleware: function (connect, options) {
var middlewares = [];
middlewares.push(modRewrite([
'!/api|/assets|\\.html|\\.js|\\.css|\\woff|\\ttf|\\swf$ /index.html'
]));
options.base.forEach(function (base) {
// Serve static files.
middlewares.push(connect.static(base));
});
middlewares.push(proxySnippet);
return middlewares;
}
If I push modRewrite to middlewares after proxySnippet (grunt-connect-proxy) - connect-modrewrite don't work. I decided to put modRewrite before and exclude all grunt-connect-proxy contexts (/api /assets) and all become to work well :)
Hope it will be useful for some one :)

Grunt -- Running a Connect and Express server on the same port

I'm newb-ish when it comes to Grunt, and am curious if it's possible to run both servers on the same port together. I'm having some trouble with it already... the problem is probably in the Grunt file.
I'm using grunt-contrib-connect and grunt-express-server for the respective functions. Ideally, what happens is grunt server will spin up the connect server, livereload, and the express server.
My Grunt file is below. Thanks!!

You may want to check out https://github.com/blai/grunt-express which has all this built in

If you want to use the same port:
Use a different protocol for both Connect and Express
Use a subdomain for either Connect or Express
Use a virtual host

yeoman / grunt and requirejs - dont concatenate (optimize) output

I'm using the basic yeoman webapp template with requirejs and now I want to build it. However, I don't want grunt to concatenate every module into one file (the optimized way).
How do I stop it from doing that and copying over all the modules by itself?

You can see more here, explains how to use yeoman with requirejs in 2014: http://www.webdesignporto.com/3-steps-to-fully-automatized-javascript-environment-with-yeoman-and-require-js-for-lazy-people/

The useminPrepare and usemin tasks are responsible for concatenating scripts (and styles). They use HTML comments to determine what to concat/minify.
Here's a bit of HTML in my index.html from a run of generator-angular yesterday:
<!-- build:js({.tmp,app}) scripts/scripts.js -->
<script src="scripts/app.js"></script>
<script src="scripts/controllers/main.js"></script>
<!-- endbuild -->
Notice how the <!-- build --> comments wrap the scripts? These comments instruct usemin to concatenate and minify the scripts between build and endbuild.
You can simply remove the <!-- build --> and <!-- endbuild --> comments from around the <script> tags, and usemin will not concat and minify them.
(You may need to adjust the Gruntfile.js task build if you get errors from uglify when running grunt. Try removing uglify from the list.)

You can edit your Gruntfile's task definition for 'build' to remove concat/usemin/useminprepare sub-tasks. Or like #jevets says, remove the <!-- build -->...<!-- endbuild -->comments from your HTML.
