Error message when giving htmlmin options

[vberistain-xx]

Everything is working very nice but I can't get my templates minified. If i fill 'htmlmin' option with arguments grunt is giving me this warning "Cannot call method 'replace' of undefined Use --force to continue" and grunt stops.

This is my Gruntfile

ngtemplates: {
      app: {
        cwd: 'app',
        src: 'scripts/directives/**/**.html',
        dest: '.tmp/templates.js',
        options: {
          prefix: '/',
          module: 'MoApp',
          htmlmin: {
            collapseBooleanAttributes:      true,
            collapseWhitespace:             true,
            removeAttributeQuotes:          true,
            removeEmptyAttributes:          true,
            removeRedundantAttributes:      true,
            removeScriptTypeAttributes:     true,
            removeStyleLinkTypeAttributes:  true
          }
        }
      }
    }

Any idea what am I doing wrong? Thanks in advance.

Shoot, there's no line-number or anything? Try it with grunt --debug or grunt --verbose (I forget which). Otherwise, I'll just re-use your example code :)

Hi! Thanks for your quick reply. I realised that probably is a htmlmin issue since some of my html views (html files) are also throwing this error. Are you aware of any incompatibility between angularjs and htmlmin?

This works:

        <section class="l-swiper-col">
            <h1 class="swiper-col-header hidden-xs hidden-sm">{{ 'YESTERDAY' | translate }}</h1>
            <one-match-live-scores  date="dates.yesterday"></one-match-live-scores>
        </section>

This doesn't:

        <section class="l-swiper-col">
            <h1 class="swiper-col-header hidden-xs hidden-sm">{{ 'YESTERDAY' | translate }}</h1>
            <div one-match-live-scores  date="dates.yesterday"></div>
        </section>

So if i insert a directive as an element is ok but not as an argument. Thanks a lot!

The thing that sucks about htmlmin is that the parser just isn't that great. I'd recommend stripping primarily whitespace with it, but avoiding getting that last 2% because of errors it creates.

At the end of the day, there's almost always more bandwidth lost due to CSS, premature loading of JS, or images!

Thanks a lot for your help Eric!
