usemin + filerev results in src prefixed with a dot (as in "current directory")
Hello,
I'm using both usemin and filerev, both wonderful. (Except usemin's docs, haha.)
The paths generated for files are prefixed with a dot, as in:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="./style.abcdef.css"/>
<script src="./script.abcdef.js"></script>
I checked grunt.filerev.summary var and paths are OK there.
It's usemin that adds the dot.
Any idea why that happens and if it can be removed?
It's not the same as without: ./ is relative to current directory while / is absolute.
I'm trying to remove the dot, not both.
Relative path doesn't work with webapps that change URL. I need the dot to go away so that it's an absolute path.
Thus, the same file is referenced from:
example.org/index.html
and
example.org/people/
for example.
It's actually the combo with filerev that breaks the path.
Without filerev, the ./ prefix is not added.
So, without filerev. the output would be something like this:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="/style.css"/>
With filerev, the output is this:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="./style.abcdef.css"/>
The first one references the file absolutely, the second relatively. The second one breaks for apps that make use of history manipulation.
Please re-open.
The issue is inside the revvedfinder.js file.
path.dirname(file); returns . which you add in front of the path.

The first one (L27) is the one which affects grunt-filerev (getCandidatesFromMapping() method).
I don't know what the best way to fix this is.
