type parameter of layout function is __untyped__

[agdev]

Hi,

When I run grunt bower w/ following config I see that type'd value is "untyped"
Why is that?
bower: {
install: {
options: {
targetDir: './components',
install: true,
layout: function (type, component) {
grunt.log.writeln('type="' + type + '"');
grunt.log.writeln('component="' + component + '"');
var renamedType = type;
if (type == 'js') renamedType = 'scripts';
else if (type == 'css') renamedType = 'styles';

                    return path.join(component, renamedType);
                },
                bowerOptions: {forceLatest:true}
            }
        }
    }

Thank you.

Did you get any workaround?, Is happening to me too. I want to integrate bower with sailsJs

No, I did not, was planning to write my own grunt plugin but did not get to it.

A workaround is to inspect the 3rd argument passed and determine type based on file extension:

layout: function (type, component, source) {
    /* workaround for https://github.com/yatskevich/grunt-bower-task/issues/121 */
    if (type === '__untyped__') {
        type = source.substring(source.lastIndexOf('.') + 1);
    }

    var renamedType = type;

    if (type === 'js') renamedType = './Scripts';
    else if (type === 'css') renamedType = './Content';

    return path.join(component, renamedType);
}

Note: You can also use type = path.extname(source).replace('.', '') instead of type = source.substring(source.lastIndexOf('.') + 1);
