My app works fine with grunt serve but when I test it with grunt serve:dist and try to load modal which I triggered with button click it shows 'templateUrl' which is attached to $mdDialog.show but never shows controller..
here I'm giving files for reference, Ask me if you require any other files as well.

the code which triggers the modal show:
$mdDialog.show({ templateUrl: 'app/contacts/contact/contact.html', controller: 'ContactCtrl', controllerAs: 'cont', locals: {user: vm.currentUser, contact: angular.copy(contact)} })
again it works fine with grunt serve. So what could be the issue with grunt serve:dist. Any issue in code or configuration of grunt ?
Note:
--it does not give any error on console when modal is opened on grunt serve:dist but any console messages doesn't prints out and no function of controller works..
