Grunt concat task wildcard expression doesn't work properly

[0x-r4bbit]

Hey guys,

I'm using the concat task in one of my projects using the wildcard syntax to specify a pattern of files to match. It works fine for me.

However it seems like there are problems with the wildcard syntax on different machines. Regarding this issue, it turned out that using wildcard syntax in concat task doesn't work properly.

We fixed this temporary by specifying the files names in an array.

Is this a known issue?

Also: Seems to be a problem with Ubuntu. I'm using Ubuntu 12.10, with node v0.8.17 from the official PPA.

Have you tried this with [email protected] and [email protected]? Grunt uses the node-glob lib for globbing, which claims to sort its results. If it's not sorting properly, this might be a bug with the underlying lib.

Closing this due to lack of updates.

I am also having this problem.

This is not working for me

concat: {
    app: {
        src: ['app/**/*.min-safe.js'],
        dest: 'app/app.min.js'
    }
},

But when I specify every directory, it works fine:

src: [
    'app/*.min-safe.js',
    'app/dashboard/*.min-safe.js',
    'app/error/*.min-safe.js',
    'app/groups/*.min-safe.js',
    'app/shared/*.min-safe.js'
],
