grunt build results in broken app

[davidcushing]

Hi Just beginning to explore the opportunities your project might offer. I am struggling a little to understand how to use it properly, as I can't see how to build some assets that could be included as part of a project. If I use "grunt build" as you say to, then grunt starts a local server and seemingly lints and concats things. However - I don't understand why a local server is started, and the page it displays doesn't work... it's blank. Looking in the console, I can see that "angular is not defined" and it seems that looking at the resources, nothing in the way of bower components is being included! Can you help?

I had a similar issue, it was because I was missing bower-installer. running npm install -g bower-installerfixed the issue.

Hope this help.

Hi I tried this but unfortunately it hasn't helped. The output is below. I would expect:

• A "dest" folder to be created and populated
• No server to be started as this should only be building ... Neither of the above happens! Any ideas?

@davidcushing Maybe in the future we will implement a dest folder for compiled files. Now we are planning in using Docker and NPM for building task instead of Grunt. We fixed the lint errors on version 1.0.7.
