Multiple Main files aren't copied correctly

[Kuirak]

hey i am using grunt-bower to copy my bower packages in a new folder, when i tried using bootstrap i stumbled on to a problem: it is copying the files but not only the source files but the complete path

I get _public/js/bowercomponents/dist/js/bootstrap.js instead of public/js/bootstrap.js

other packages work like intended

When adding these to the config:

options: {
                packageSpecific: {
                    bootstrap: {
                        files: [
                            "./dist/js/bootstrap.js",
                            "./dist/css/bootstrap.css",
                            "./dist/fonts/glyphicons-halflings-regular.eot",
                            "./dist/fonts/glyphicons-halflings-regular.svg",
                            "./dist/fonts/glyphicons-halflings-regular.ttf",
                            "./dist/fonts/glyphicons-halflings-regular.woff"
                        ],
                        dest: '.tmp/public/fonts',
                        css_dest: '.tmp/public/css/bootstrap'
                    }
                }

Everything get compied where it should but it copies a extra copy like before

Just tested with the config you provided. Except package specified destination doesn't work, the rest works as expected.

Using your config and run grunt bower, I got the following structure:

.tmp
└── public
    ├── css
    │   └── bootstrap
    │       └── bootstrap.css
    └── fonts
        ├── bootstrap.js
        ├── glyphicons-halflings-regular.eot
        ├── glyphicons-halflings-regular.svg
        ├── glyphicons-halflings-regular.ttf
        └── glyphicons-halflings-regular.woff

strange because it is copying the complete bowercomponents/dist tree aditionally e.g: .tmp\public\js\components\bowercomponents\bootstrap\dist\js\bootstrap.js .tmp\public\js\components\bootstrap.js

my complete task looks like:

grunt.config.set('bower', {
        dev: {
            dest: '.tmp/public',
            js_dest: '.tmp/public/js/components',
            css_dest: '.tmp/public/styles/components',
            options: {
                packageSpecific: {
                    bootstrap: {
                        files: [
                            "./dist/js/bootstrap.js",
                            "./dist/css/bootstrap.css",
                            "./dist/fonts/glyphicons-halflings-regular.eot",
                            "./dist/fonts/glyphicons-halflings-regular.svg",
                            "./dist/fonts/glyphicons-halflings-regular.ttf",
                            "./dist/fonts/glyphicons-halflings-regular.woff"
                        ],
                        dest: '.tmp/public/fonts',
                        css_dest: '.tmp/public/css/bootstrap'
                    }
                }
            }
        }
    });

    grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-bower');

Duh.. still can't reproduce it. Will look into this again later.

[Kuirak]

Ok , no problem, i put bootstrap in manually for now. Tell me if you need anything else.

[curist]

Please use this gist https://gist.github.com/curist/10078523 and see if you still have this problem.

[jooyunghan]

I had this problem and figured it out. grunt-bower/tasks/lib/helpers.js line 50 and its 'else' part doesn't path.join with components_path I patched as following:

if(typeof main_path === 'string') {
    main_path = path.join(components_path, main_path);
...
} else {
    // array, falling through
    main_path = main_path.map(function(file) {
      return path.join(components_path, file);
    });
    return main_path;
  }

Also, make sure .bowerrc's directory ends with /. Otherwise bower.commands.list will generate quite weird relative paths (with duplicate of last part of path).

[curist]

Eh, that's weird. The main_path is passed from bower.command.list, and it's the full path to the files. What's the result of bower list --paths?

And about the .bowerrc's directory issue, I tested both with or without /, all runs fine for me. Are you guys running a windows machine?

[jooyunghan]

I was wrong about a trailing slash issue. I found 'bower list --path' issue https://github.com/bower/bower/issues/928 For me bower.commands.list 's result list contains inappropriate paths then causes copy failure.

[curist]

That seems to nailed it, will think about how to deal with it. Thanks for reporting this!

[jooyunghan]

I work around that by passing options with 'relative : false'.
