Destination not updating with new hash #25

Closed bubbleheadinc closed 10 years ago

bubbleheadinc commented 10 years ago

I'm new to grunt so please forgive me if this is rudimentary.

hashres is updating the assets with a new hash when they change just fine. The first time it ran, it updated the destination file (.cshtml) src's just fine with the newly hashed filenames. But it doesn't update the destination if the hash changes. It still shows the old hash'd filename.

Here is my gruntfile hashres...

hashres: {
          options: {
            encoding: 'utf8',
            fileNameFormat: '${name}.${hash}.${ext}',
            renameFiles: true
          },
          catalog: {
            src: ['build/js/catalog-head.min.js', 'build/js/catalog-body.min.js'],
            dest: ['Views/Shared/_Layout.cshtml']
          },
          login: {
            src: ['build/js/catalog-login.min.js'],
            dest: ['Views/Account/Login.cshtml']
          }
        },

Thanks for any insight

Check #20

Ah ok. I actually did read that issue prior to posting, but it didn't seem related. Now that I read it again, I see the operative sentence in one of your responses is: "Recurring substitutions aren't supported."

So I would need to rebuild the .cshtml file or somehow refresh the src tags. Do you have any recommendations on how I would do that if I don't run the .cshtml files through any grunt tasks to lint or build them?

Thanks!

I can recommend you to do what I do. Every time you need to release your code:

Create a "dist" (for distribution) folder. Clear folder if already exists.
Copy your html, minimized js/css, images, etc. files there.
Run grunt-hashres

Cheers

Ok thanks. I do have a build process that cleans and builds the css, js, and images. It's the .cshtml that is challenging. The overall project structure makes it difficult to do much with those dynamic pages. I don't need to link them or otherwise process them and I can't really move them. I'll have to play around and see if I can make that part work. Thanks for your time and the plugin!
