How to configure usemin to only replace the files with the revved version of the filerev task

[Avien]

I don't want concatenation or uglification or to replace all the blocks in the html, I only want the usemin to replace the files with the revved version create by filerev task. However I still want to have the blocks defined in the html for full dist version (with uglify+concat etc...)

How is that possible? Thanks

@Avien, just an idea, but have you tried not to run the *min:generated tasks ? In your task list, instead of :

 - useminPrepare
 - concat
 - cssmin
 - uglify
 - filerev
 - usemin

you do:

 - useminPrepare
 - concat:mysubtask
 - cssmin:mysubtask
 - uglify:mysubtask
 - filerev
 - usemin

where mysubtask is not generated, you should prevent block replacement.

But what do you want to achieve but replacing files with revved version? Is it a scenario where you want to build a non-minified dist version, but still be able to build a full minified revved version ?

Exactly I want to build a debug able dist version which will always be deployed next to the minified version

Commenting the tasks in the build tasks alone did not work, it would still generate a minified version

@Avien in my experience I never deploy debugable version on server, except if something fails, which means that I've setup my grunt tasks to build either a full optimized (minified+revved) version or a not optimized. Is it something you can consider ? If not I will take a look at building the two version (minified and non minified) at the same time. I think it's possible. Let me know.

Actually I managed to skip the uglification task and copy the concatenated files to the dist folder to be revved by using grunt copy I think uglification does the copy inside?

@Avien I think the #487 should solve your problem in a better way. No need to have two differents workflow.

@Avien I confirm the #487 should probably cover your need and but not a duplicate of #487. I add the docs tag as we should add your use case in documentation.
