grunt build error

[khwerhahn]

Hi,

I get the following error:

Running "rev:dist" (rev) task
dist/client/app/app.js >> 8551cad9.app.js
dist/client/app/vendor.js >> 0121d770.vendor.js
Warning: Unable to read "dist/client/bower_components/Chart.js" file (Error code: EISDIR). Use --force to continue.

The bower component is there. Very strange. Can anybody pls help?

EISDIR means Error IS DIRectory. Is Chart.js a directory, and instead you want to get something from inside that directory?

[khwerhahn]

Its the chart.js library (https://github.com/carlcraig/tc-angular-chartjs). There are files (i.e. dist) in the directory (dist/client/bower_components/Chart.js/dist/....). I don't know why grunt throws an error since it is a normal directory?

[mariosvlad]

it's because the Chart.js ends in .js and it thinks it's a javascript file, a solution would be to exclude it from the grunt tasks.
add the exclude rule to src of rev like this

rev: {
  dist: {
    files: {
      src: [ ...,  '!**/Chart.js/**' ] 

and something similar for usemin

usemin: {
  js: [...,  '!**/Chart.js/**']

Thanks @mariostesla .
In the final index.html, it should import /bower_components/Chart.js/dist/tc-angular-chartjs.min.js, not /bower_components/Chart.js. It's bad practice to include dots in directory names :/

[khwerhahn]

Ok thanks. I have posted it in the tc-angular-chartjs.min.js project.

I am facing the same error with the library Filesaver.js (https://github.com/alferov/angular-file-saver)

Warning: Unable to read "dist/public/bower_components/file-saver.js" file (Error code: EISDIR).� Use --force to continue.
