gulp-usemin TypeError: Path must be a string. Received undefined

1.7k views Asked by At

I'm using gulp-usemin for minify the javascript files I use in my app, for some reason gulp is not seeing one of my files. I have this in my index.html:

<body ng-app="App">
    <!--[if lte IE 8]>
      <p class="browsehappy">You are using an <strong>outdated</strong> browser. Please <a href="http://browsehappy.com/">upgrade your browser</a> to improve your experience.</p>

    </div>

    <script src="scripts/directives/directive2/directive2.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
    <!-- endbuild -->
</body>

And this is my gulpfile.js:

// Generated on 2015-12-16 using generator-angular 0.15.1
'use strict';

var gulp = require('gulp'),
    usemin = require('gulp-usemin'),
    wrap = require('gulp-wrap'),
    connect = require('gulp-connect'),
    watch = require('gulp-watch'),
    minifyCss = require('gulp-minify-css'),
    minifyJs = require('gulp-uglify'),
    concat = require('gulp-concat'),
    less = require('gulp-less'),
    rename = require('gulp-rename'),
    minifyHTML = require('gulp-minify-html'),
    zip = require('gulp-zip');

var paths = {
    scripts: 'app/scripts/**/*.*',
    styles: 'app/styles/**/*.less',
    custom_css: 'app/styles/**/*.css',
    custom_fonts: 'fonts/**/*.{ttf,woff,eof,svg}',
    images: 'app/images/**/*.*',
    templates: 'app/views/**/*.html',
    index: 'app/index.html',
    bower_fonts: 'bower_components/**/*.{ttf,woff,eof,svg}',
    customstyle:'bower_components/bootstrap/dist/css/bootstrap.min.css'
};

var logerror = function(e){ console.log(e); };

/**
 * Handle bower components from index
 */
gulp.task('usemin', function() {
    return gulp.src(paths.index)
        .pipe(usemin({
            js: [minifyJs().on('error', function(e){ console.log(e); }),         'concat'],
            css: [minifyCss({keepSpecialComments: 0}), 'concat']
        }))
        .pipe(gulp.dest('dist/'));
});

gulp.task('zip', function () {
    return gulp.src(['dist/**/*.*', '!dist/dist.zip', '!dist/index.html'])
        .pipe(zip('dist.zip'))
        .pipe(gulp.dest('dist/'));
});

/**

 */
gulp.task('build-assets', ['copy-bower_fonts', 'custom-less', 'custom-    css']);

gulp.task('copy-bower_fonts', function() {
    return gulp.src(paths.bower_fonts)
        .pipe(rename({
            dirname: '/fonts'
        }))
        .pipe(gulp.dest('dist/'));
});

gulp.task('custom-less', function() {
    return gulp.src(paths.styles)
        .pipe(less())
        .pipe(gulp.dest('dist/styles'));
});

gulp.task('custom-css', function() {
    return gulp.src(paths.custom_css)
        .pipe(minifyCss())
        .pipe(concat('custom.min.css'))
        .pipe(gulp.dest('dist/styles'));
});

gulp.task('copy-templates', function() {
    return gulp.src(paths.templates)
        .pipe(minifyHTML().on('error',logerror))
        .pipe(gulp.dest('dist/views'));
});

/**
 * Watch custom files
 */
gulp.task('watch', function() {
    gulp.watch([paths.index], ['usemin']);
    gulp.watch([paths.customstyle], ['usemin']);
    gulp.watch([ 'dist/**/*.*', '!dist/dist.zip', '!dist/index.html'], ['zip']);
});

/**
 * Live reload server
 */
gulp.task('webserver', function() {
    connect.server({
        root: 'dist',
        livereload: true,
        port: 8888
    });
});

gulp.task('livereload', function() {
    gulp.src(['dist/**/*.*'])
        .pipe(watch())
        .pipe(connect.reload());
});

/**
 * Gulp tasks
 */
gulp.task('build', ['build-assets','copy-templates', 'usemin']);
gulp.task('default', ['build', 'zip']);
gulp.task('run', ['build', 'webserver', 'livereload', 'watch']);

When I run default task I get this message:

TypeError: Path must be a string. Received undefined

If I remove <script src="scripts/directives/directive2/directive2.js" type="text/javascript"></script> from the index the gulp task run without errors and I'm pretty sure the file is there and url is written correctly.

Please help!!

Yumarx Polanco On BEST ANSWER

The solution I found is passing {mangle:false} to 'gulp-uglify' constructor, in my case replace

gulp.task('usemin', function() {
    return gulp.src(paths.index)
        .pipe(usemin({
            js: [minifyJs({mangle:false}).on('error', function(e){ console.log(e); }), 'concat'],
            css: [minifyCss({keepSpecialComments: 0}), 'concat']
        }))
        .pipe(gulp.dest('dist/'));
});
