When src filenames use the same name but different extension, gzip dest is wrong

[laurentperez]

Hi

Given two files, one.js and one.min.js, with the code

        compress: {
            main: {
                options: {
                    mode: 'gzip'
                },
                files: [
                    {expand: true,
                        src: ['one.js', 'one.min.js'], dest: '../../assets/javascript', ext: '.js'}
                ]
            }
        },

Then it will create only one gzip file, not two. It's confused by the "min" name.

Running "compress:main" (compress) task
Created ../../assets/javascript/one.js.gz (20 bytes)
Created ../../assets/javascript/one.js.gz (20 bytes)

Thanks for the heads up! I'm going to close this here and open an issue on the Grunt tracker because this is an issue with our declarative file expansion methods, not this task.

In the meantime, you can resolve this by using the rename method:

Thanks. Unfortunately even using a rename, the src is already wrong.

  {expand: true,
                        src: ['one', 'one.min.js', 'foo'], dest: '../../assets/javascript', rename: function(dest, src){
                        grunt.log.writeln("dest:" + dest + "!");
                        grunt.log.writeln("src:" + src + "!");
                        return dest + src;
                    }}

Will miss the first one

Running "compress:main" (compress) task
dest:../../assets/javascript!
src:one.min.js!
dest:../../assets/javascript!
src:foo!
Created ../../assets/javascriptone.min.js.gz (20 bytes)

So, I renamed the files myself.

Hmm in fact it somehow works, you have to make sure filenames have an extension

src: ['one', 'one.min.js', 'foo'] is ko
src: ['one.js', 'one.min.js', 'foo'] is ok, the src rename parameter will use one.js and one.min.js
