In my production build uglify breaks the linkage to a referenced file in my css, due to file renaming. It seems there is a simple fix for this, but in my google search, I apparently missed it. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
The css file:
.priority_stars {
background: url:('assets/images/star.gif') no repeat;
....
}
And as expected, uglify renames the file as expected. This breaks the linkage. Is there a simple way to get grunt to automatically rename this file. This clearly is already taking place most every other type of file linkage in my build, just not in my css files. How to tell the Gruntfile.js to do this?
Here is the Gruntfile.js (from the yo angular-fullstack framework):
// Generated on 2015-02-27 using generator-angular-fullstack 2.0.13
'use strict';
module.exports = function (grunt) {
var localConfig;
try {
localConfig = require('./server/config/local.env');
} catch(e) {
localConfig = {};
}
// Load grunt tasks automatically, when needed
require('jit-grunt')(grunt, {
express: 'grunt-express-server',
useminPrepare: 'grunt-usemin',

cdnify: 'grunt-google-cdn',

});

Thanks to the post by Yauheni Leichanok I discovered that the issue was in the rev plugin and I was able to fix my issue by simply adding a pattern to usemin settings in the Gruntfile.js to also handle *.css files. Here is the fix/adjustment to the Gruntfile.js:
css: [
[/(assets\/images\/.*?\.(?:gif|jpeg|jpg|png|webp|svg))/gm, 'Update the JS to reference our revved images']
]
Or showing it in context for clarity:
// Performs rewrites based on rev and the useminPrepare configuration
usemin: {
html: ['<%= yeoman.dist %>/public/{,*/}*.html'],
css: ['<%= yeoman.dist %>/public/{,*/}*.css'],
js: ['<%= yeoman.dist %>/public/{,*/}*.js'],
options: {
assetsDirs: [
'<%= yeoman.dist %>/public',
'<%= yeoman.dist %>/public/assets/images'
],
// This is so we update image references in our ng-templates
patterns: {
js: [
[/(assets\/images\/.*?\.(?:gif|jpeg|jpg|png|webp|svg))/gm, 'Update the JS to reference our revved images']
],
css: [
[/(assets\/images\/.*?\.(?:gif|jpeg|jpg|png|webp|svg))/gm, 'Update the JS to reference our revved images']
]
}
}
},
