Grunt is messing my minified CSS and I cannot figure out why and how to avoid it.
To be brief, before the minification I have some background images like this:
.head-image {
height: 380px;
background: url("../images/head1_bg.png") repeat-x;
-webkit-background-size: cover;
background-size: cover;
}
Then, after the whole process, I have a minified CSS that goes like this (snippet):
[...]background:url(/home/domo/projects/lp/.tmp/images/head1_bg.png) repeat-x;background-size:cover}[...]
The aforementioned path not only is an absolute path, but it's even wrong, since the images can be found in dist/images
, not in .tmp/images
(which doesn't even exists...).
A very similar issue is mentioned here: yeoman#824
I tried 2 solutions from that thread (#17759188 and #29137057) but to no avail.
I even tried using the supposedly patched version of yeoman, as stated in another Stack Overflow question (Yeoman CSS image paths) post, still with no success...
Maybe someone has already walked this path and found a solution that I haven't found on the internet.
Edit: I can add one more detail
image path inside HTML partials are not affected, like this:ng-src="./images/box_{{$index+1}}.png"

Some time ago, I had a similar issue with cssmin...
My config was:
cssmin: {
options: {
root: '<%= yeoman.app %>'
}
},
then I have removed root
property and it solved the problem.
UPD1: Also you need to add images to assetsDirs in configutarion for usemin:
usemin: {
html: ['<%= yeoman.dist %>/{,*/}*.html'],
css: ['<%= yeoman.dist %>/styles/{,*/}*.css'],
options: {
assetsDirs: ['<%= yeoman.dist %>', '<%= yeoman.dist %>/images']
}
},
UPD2:
About images with ng-src="./images/box_{{$index+1}}.png"
, it is not possible to process them directly with usemin because there is no way to handle file revision in this expression...
But you can add separate map with image urls, like :
<div ng-init="boxes=[
{src:'images/box1.png'},
{src:'images/box2.png'},
{src:'images/box3.png'}]>
....
<img ng-src={{boxes[$index].src}}/>
....
</div>
And process those maps with additional pattern for usemin:
usemin: {
html: ['<%= yeoman.dist %>/{,*/}*.html'],
htmlExtra: ['<%= yeoman.dist %>/{,*/}*.html'],
css: ['<%= yeoman.dist %>/styles/{,*/}*.css'],
options: {
assetsDirs: ['<%= yeoman.dist %>', '<%= yeoman.dist %>/images'],
patterns:{
htmlExtra:[
[/['"]?src['"]?\s*:\s*['"]([^"']+)['"]/gm, 'Replacing urls in image maps']
]
}
}
},
Then after build you will get something like:
<div ng-init="boxes=[
{src:'images/box1.xxxx.png'},
{src:'images/box2.xxxx.png'},
{src:'images/box3.xxxx.png'}]">
....
<img ng-src={{boxes[$index].src}}/>
....
</div>
