Dynamically build slugs dosen't work

[olegmeglin]

My Scripts version: grunt-assemble: 0.4.0 grunt-assemble-permalinks: 0.1.0

The documentation describes how to dynamically build slugs: https://github.com/assemble/grunt-assemble-permalinks#dynamically-build-slugs

When I'm trying to render my HTML pages, the variables (<%= area %> & <%= section %>) are not resolved.

I get the following render: blog/2014/01/01/<%= area %>-<%= section %>/index.html

Instead of: blog/2014/01/01/business-finance/index.html

I also download the clear grunt-assemble-permalinks-master from Github. Then I added the variables to the file /test/fixtures/pages/articles/bar.hbs:

---
title: Bar
author: Jon Schlinkert

area: business
section: finance
slug: <%= area %>-<%= section %>

date: 2013-10-03
section: blog
tags:
- bbb

---

After that I executed grunt default. Same behavior.

Now I got the folowing render: test/actual/yfm_custom_property/articles/<%= area %>-<%= section %>/index.html

Instead of: test/actual/yfm_custom_property/articles/business-finance/index.html

Any idea how to fix the issue?

@meglinmedia Thanks for the issue! If you're reporting a bug, please be sure to include:

• The version of assemble you are using.
• Your assemblefile.js (This can be in a gist)
• The commandline output. (Screenshot or gist is fine)
• What you expected to happen instead.

As a test, try adding the following object to the assemble options in your Gruntfile.js:

{
  data: {
    area: 'one',
    section: 'two'
  }
}

Then run it and see if that data is used in the permalinks. I want to narrow down where the issue is

I'm unsure if I have understood correctly...

Like that?

    assemble: {
      options: {
        plugins: ['index.js'],
        helpers: [
          'handlebars-helper-eachItems',
          'handlebars-helper-paginate',
          'test/fixtures/helpers/*.js'
        ],
        layout: 'test/fixtures/default.hbs',
        assets: 'test/assets',
        data: {
          area: 'one',
          section: 'two'
        }
      },

      // Should modify dest path using a custom property from YAML front matter
      yfm_custom_property: {
        options: {
          permalinks: {
            // 'slug' is a custom property in YAML front matter
            structure: ':slug/index:ext'
          }
        },
        files: [
          {expand: true, cwd: 'test/fixtures/pages', src: ['**/*.hbs'], dest: 'test/actual/yfm_custom_property/', ext: '.html'}
        ]
      },

    },
