Cannot see any cdn script in the dist/public/index.html file.

I run grunt and it tells me the following output.

Running "cdnify:dist" (cdnify) task
Going through dist/public/index.html to update script refs
✔ bower_components/angular/angular.js changed to //ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/angularjs/1.4.0-beta.2/angular.min.js
✔ bower_components/angular-cookies/angular-cookies.js changed to //ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/angularjs/1.4.0-beta.2/angular-cookies.min.js
✔ bower_components/angular-resource/angular-resource.js changed to //ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/angularjs/1.4.0-beta.2/angular-resource.min.js
✔ bower_components/angular-sanitize/angular-sanitize.js changed to //ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/angularjs/1.4.0-beta.2/angular-sanitize.min.js

However I cannot find any cdn script shown in the dist/public/index.html.

I came across this when working on a cdnify task for gulp. Do the maintainers have a stance on how this should work?

My personal opinion is that as a user, if you're calling cdnify, then you don't want any of the CDN links to be bundled into the vendor.js file. The solution is to move/hoist and CDN links above the <!-- build section.

For Grunt, the option is https://github.com/mjetek/grunt-cdn-nobuild.

And I've ported this to gulp: https://github.com/david-mohr/gulp-cdn-hoist

Also, during my testing I noticed something that might prevent this from working as expected: jquery doesn't appear in bower.json. Consequently it won't be caught by cdnify but angular will, meaning that angular will appear before jquery in index.html and therefore angular may not behave as expected.

I'm running into this problem too. So, I've found that grunt-usemin owner commented to use block replacement for ignoring CDN resources in their issue.

Would that be alternative option to use filter with regex that figures out whether is CDN resource or not in blockReplacement?
