Execute grunt serve:dist with local file paths enabled

I am currently utilizing grunt to construct and deploy a basic angular web application that incorporates bootstrap and font-awesome. The project was initially set up using the yeoman generator-angular and constructed utilizing grunt serve:dist.

I have observed that some of the URLs in my CSS files are not being properly minified or revised.

Update: After researching grunt tasks, I believe the issue may be related to rebase in cssmin/clean.

By adding noRebase: true to the cssmin options, I managed to resolve some issues but encountered new ones.

When noRebase:true is not used, the minified CSS contains:

body{background-image:url(c:/dev/myapp/.tmp/images/ricepaper_v3.png);

@font-face{font-family:FontAwesome;src:url(/bower_components/components-font-awesome/fonts/fontawesome-webfont.eot?v=4.0.3);

It's clear that I don't want it to reference bower_components or my local path.

With noRebase: true:

body{background-image:url(../images/ricepaper_v3.png);

@font-face{font-family:FontAwesome;src:url(../fonts/fontawesome-webfont.eot?v=4.0.3);

This adjustment fixes the fonts (which were never revised, so the name is correct), but breaks the background image since the image is now named something like "a120f004.ricepaper_v3.png"

My Gruntfile.js:

After reviewing the logs, it became apparent that only fontawesome was not being updated. The background image was successfully updated, but there was an issue with duplicating the CSS and not removing the original local path.

To address this, I implemented a solution using a grunt copy task. By including this task in the grunt build process, I was able to successfully copy the bower component fonts to the designated dist folder. This ensures that the most up-to-date bower fonts are always used.

copy: {
   ...
  , fontawesome: {
      expand:true,
      cwd: '<%= yeoman.app %>/bower_components/components-font-awesome/fonts',
      dest: '<%= yeoman.dist %>/bower_components/components-font-awesome/fonts',
      src: [ '**' ]
  }
}
