Won't concat files in certain order

[nathanhornby]

(On latest version)

I'm seeing an odd issue where files declared in one order will be concatenated successfully, but not in a different order. Annoyingly the order that works in this case is the wrong order for my needs.

This works:

gulp.task('plugins', function() {
    return gulp.src(['js/compiled/scripts.min.js','plugins/*.js'])
        .pipe(concat('all.min.js'))
        .pipe(gulp.dest('dist'));
});

This doesn't:

gulp.task('plugins', function() {
    return gulp.src(['plugins/*.js','js/compiled/scripts.min.js'])
        .pipe(concat('all.min.js'))
        .pipe(gulp.dest('dist'));
});

No errors.

scripts.min.js lints just fine, but does have a long sourcemap added to the end of it after linting.

Edit: Updating to add that removing the sourcemap doesn't have any effect.

Editing to clarify: 'Doesn't work', by this I actually mean that the second example will result in all.min.js only containing the single file currently in plugins/. i.e. it doesn't combine the files from those two locations. In the first example, it successfully concat's the files as you'd expect.

Hmm that's weird. This is more of an issue on gulp.src, can you open something on vinyl-fs? I don't think there are any tests regarding file ordering.

This a huge bug in the newest gulp version! very annoying. I I wrote an issue here - https://github.com/gulpjs/gulp/issues/687

Hope they answer quickly! Any order with wildcard returns random stream (using gulp src)
