How to use ng-include in Angular Yeoman template dist? - angularjs

I have used the Yeoman generator to create an AngularJS template (Angular 1) and have being developing on it.
To keep my code clean I have one main html file and then I use ng-include to add the partial html views to this main html view.
When I run grunt serve my project runs fine.
However when I run grunt build to build the distribution version of the application then the ng-includes stop working, nothing is displayed where they should be.
I am guessing the out of the box grunt tasks that come with the Yeoman generator someone strip out or minify the files in such a manner that stops the ng-includes from working?
If so what should be changed in the grunt file to allow ng-includes to work?
Here is the grunt file as it comes generated:

In order to see your templates appear normally when using grunt serve in a Yeoman generated Angular app (yo:angular), you should put your template file paths inside single quotes, as follows :
<div ng-include="'views/templates/header.html'"></div>
I'm having a similar problem though, using grunt build, I can't see how to keep using ng-include in the built app (after the ngTemplate task has run and all views are in one big .js file...
Anyone has done this before or has some pointers?

Issue with Gruntfile.js

I have an issue with building an angular application using Grunt. I have done the scaffolding using Yeoman and application works fine when the app is build using "grunt serve" command.
When I try to run the command "grunt serve:dist" I can see java script file is empty in the dist directory. This should be an issue with Gruntfile.js since I have changed the default directory structure which Yeoman generated. I have attached here the screen shot which shows the directory structure and my Gruntfile.js. Kindly help me.

grunt serve reloads browser without changes made

I have an Angular JS project and am using grunt to compile and display my page, via grunt serve. However, a lot of times the browser reloads without any changes made. I have been searching for a reason but just can't find any explanation. It is extremely irritating and time confusing. While I am testing the browser just reloads without any reason.
On the other hand the browser doesn't always reload when I update a html file.
Has anyone had this problem and know of a fix?

AngularJS grunt serve page refresh not working after changing file

Hi am looking for some beginner help with Grunt, Yeoman and AngularJS. I installed the grunt-cli, grunt locally and and yeoman using npm (with node). No trouble with the installation, as checking version works fine. I however am having trouble using grunt.
I have created one AngularJS application using grunt, yeoman and bower. (Did yo angular to make the file with bootstrap, no sass.)
Inside app folder, I have a view folder. Inside that I have many html files. I do grunt serve command to run the application. I am using chrome. When I change any file (styles, scripts, images, views), and refresh the page, there is no difference.
I don't know why, but even after changing the main.html file, and running grunt serve from the MAC terminal, the changes don't show. The same is also the problem while running grunt serve and then performing main.html file changes. It recognizes when I save a changed copy of the file, but just displays Waiting... and nothing happens on the web page.
Any help greatly appreciated.

Grunt build is leaving out a new directory in 'Dist'

I'm new to angular and I'm trying to do a grunt build of my Yeoman scaffolded app. At one point in my project I created a new sub directory of "app/". When I do a Grunt build this directory is not included in the "dist" project and it's causing errors.
Is there some procedure for tracking a file with Grunt that I'm missing?

The root cause is you forgetting to update copy task
You need add the new folder app/ to src list.
copy: {
dist: {
files: [{
expand: true,
dot: true,
cwd: '<%= yeoman.app %>',
dest: '<%= yeoman.dist %>',
src: [
'*.{ico,png,txt}',
'.htaccess',
'*.html',
'views/{,*/}*.html',
'images/{,*/}*.{webp}',
'styles/fonts/{,*/}*.*'
'app/*'
]
}

Grunt doesn't change image path in html

I'm new in Grunt,
I have angular project and I try to run grunt --force. Everything is converted but not image path.
This is what I had before grunt:
and this is after Grunt running:
But in all HTML files the path left the same:
<md-icon
md-svg-src="images/icons/ic_add_24px.svg"
style="width: 24px; height: 24px"
class="ng-scope ng-isolate-scope md-blue-theme" aria-hidden="true"></md-icon>
and I get:
GET http://localhost/client/images/icons/ic_add_24px.svg 404 (Not Found)
This is my Gruntfile.js
// Generated on 2015-03-08 using generator-angular 0.11.1

I also tried to replace {,*/} with **/ but it doesn't fix the issue.
Please help,
(If you need Grunt console logs, I'll post)
