Gulp ngmin + uglify not working properly

Question

I have the following gulp task:

gulp.task('scripts', function() {
return gulp.src(['app/js/app.js', 'app/config/config.js', 'app/js/controllers.js', 'app/js/directives.js' , 'app/js/filters.js',  'app/js/footer.js',
                 'app/js/guideTour.js', 'app/js/mobileBanner.js', 'app/js/services.js', 'app/js/youtube.js', 'app/js/dataSync.js', 'app/js/addthis.js'])
//.pipe(jshint('.jshintrc'))
.pipe(jshint.reporter('default'))
.pipe(concat('main.js'))
.pipe(ngmin())
.pipe(gulp.dest('app/dist/js'))
.pipe(rename({suffix: '.min'}))
.pipe(uglify())
.pipe(gulp.dest('app/dist/js'))
.pipe(livereload(server))
.pipe(notify({ message: 'Scripts task complete' }));
});

The problem is that the concatenated file which is also the output of ngmin(), is working fine, but after uglifying the code, something breaks, and I get the following error.

With no specific indicator where to start debugging.

Answer 1

Solution was running uglify task with mangle option set to false. ie: .uglify({mangle: false})

whole code:

gulp.task('scripts', function() { 
return gulp.src('app/js/**/*.js')
.pipe(jshint('.jshintrc'))
.pipe(jshint.reporter('default'))
.pipe(concat('main.js'))
.pipe(ngmin())
.pipe(gulp.dest('app/dist/js'))
.pipe(rename({suffix: '.min'}))
.pipe(uglify({mangle: false}))
.pipe(gulp.dest('app/dist/js'))
.pipe(livereload(server))
.pipe(notify({ message: 'Scripts task complete' }));
});

Answer 2

You don`t need to set mangle to false, you can just use ng-annotate and call on your gulpfile.js like this:

var ngAnnotate = require('gulp-ng-annotate')
...
gulp.task('scripts', function() { 
return gulp.src('app/js/**/*.js')
.pipe(jshint('.jshintrc'))
.pipe(jshint.reporter('default'))
.pipe(concat('main.js'))
.pipe(ngmin())
.pipe(gulp.dest('app/dist/js'))
.pipe(rename({suffix: '.min'}))
.pipe(ngAnnotate())
.pipe(uglify())
.pipe(gulp.dest('app/dist/js'))
.pipe(livereload(server))
.pipe(notify({ message: 'Scripts task complete' }));
});

works on my projects for app on a single file
