Server does not follow symlinks #155

Closed domoritz closed 6 years ago

domoritz commented 9 years ago

I would like to symlink a library from another directory but the server does not symlink so I have to copy the file.

Does anyone have an idea of how to solve this? It makes it impossible to test local bower components by symlinking to them.

It actually wasn't a problem with grunt-contrib-connect, it was a problem with wiredep. Wiredep isn't following the symlink so it isn't inserting the script tag for the bower component into index.html.
