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
Warning: Task "buildcontrol:pages" failed. Use --force to continue.
Aborted due to warnings.

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

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

Grunt build causing Angular app to crash on dist

I am using Grunt and executing cmd "grunt build" to create a distribution folder containing an AngularJS app.
As a standalone my app is working fine. Once I create a distribution for the app the app starts to crash pretty quickly.
I am seeing in F12 Tools Console is:
10 $digest() iterations reached. Aborting!
I am suspicious of a file in my .tmp directory called vendor.js and a failure to minify, uglify and or concat this file correctly because of controller dependency injection variables mangling injected controller arguments like "$scope" to "a" for example, even though I am using ngAnnotate.
See I am using UglifyJs and calling ngAnnotate before Uglify and Concat but I cannot remove UglifyJs from useMinPrepare or I have other errors such as the scripts directory not even being created in my dist directory:
useminPrepare: {
html: '<%= yeoman.app %>/index.html',
options: {
dest: '<%= yeoman.dist %>',
flow: {
html: {
steps: {
js: ['concat', 'uglifyjs'],
css: ['cssmin']
},
post: {}
}
}
}
},
I am setting mangle = false in my GruntJs file but I am suspicious of useMinPrepare js: ['concat', 'uglifyjs'] changing the sequence of execution and running uglify before ngAnnotate can run when useMin is called, even though I call useMin after ngAnnotate.
I am new to Grunt and this app has been passed to me from another developer.
I found this article that doesn't exactly make sense to me and also isn't a code change that seems to apply to my Gruntfile.js but I thought maybe I was on to something:
https://github.com/DaftMonk/generator-angular-fullstack/issues/164
I have set the Uglify mangle option to false but it has not fixed my issue.
Here is my Gruntfile.js code:
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);

So I went down the wrong path thinking smoothing was wrong with Uglify or concat or minification.
The error did not occur with grunt serve but did occur only after a dist package was created with grunt build:dist
So it was deceiving in a sense that my Angular app DID work fine until I created a dist package.
The issue was for me, that I originally had a <ng-include src="'scripts/navigation/navigationMobile.html'"></ng-include> element in my Index.html file.
At some point I created a custom element directive <my-nav></my-nav> which used the same templateUrl = scripts/navigation/navigationMobile.html but I forgot to remove the <ng-include src="'scripts/navigation/navigationMobile.html'"></ng-include> element from my Index.html that <my-nav></my-nav> was intended to replace.
For whatever reason the 10 $digest() iterations reached. Aborting! only occurred after running grunt build and creating the minified, Uglified vendor.js file, it did not occur when just developing and testing using grunt serve but I do not know the exact reason that the error only presented itself after grunt build.
Maybe someone can answer that.

I noticed we need to give a hint to ng-annotate in two cases:
Subclassing (ES6 class) when super class has injectables on constructor and sub class has no constructor;
$get method of a provider
Error in digest check is occurring from a task that only runs in grunt build, or is related to you creating a directive from an ng-include.
When you change from ng-include to have it as your directive's template, angular will suspend compilation until the next digest, when template is eventually loaded, even when it is already in $templateCache.
Reference: https://docs.angularjs.org/api/ng/service/$compile (see templateUrl)
As a final note, I'd have take a look on ngtemplates because it avoids requests over the wire, and angular compiles templates out-of-order when they come from an external resource, it could be a bug on your implementation of that directive or any of its parents, which is not calling $compile correctly.

To fix this error just open the Gruntfile.js file and add the line extDot: 'last' in both task cssmin and task uglify.
Ex:
cssmin: {
all: {
files: [{
expand: true,
cwd: srcDir,
src: '**/*.css',
dest: buildDir,
ext: '.min.css',
extDot: 'last'
}]
}
},
...
uglify: {
all: {
files: [{
expand: true,
cwd: srcDir,
src: ['**/*.js', '!**/*-spec.js'],
dest: buildDir,
ext: '.min.js',
extDot: 'last'
}]
}
},

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:

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.
Here is my GruntFile.js

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 :)
