Source files problem in 0.8.x

[thenanox]

Im having myself a problem with sources when they are not in grunt folder or inside. I didnt have this problem in <0.7.x because i just configured source files with absolutepaths and it worked fine.

With this folder structure:

• my project
  • front
  • grunt-mydocular
    • node_modules
      • docular

When files are specified in configuration, documentation says: The best way of providing this is by setting this value to the return of grunt.file.expand

The problem is that docular will receive paths like::

../front/js/...

So when exporting docs into webappfolder, this code in generator.js might breaks the build:

        fse.ensureDirSync(baseFolder + '/sources/');
            for (var i = 0, l = docs.length; i < l; i++) {
                if (dosc[i].file) {
                    console.log("BASE",baseFolder + '/sources/');
                    console.log("FILE", docs[i].file);
                    fse.ensureFileSync(baseFolder + '/sources/' + docs[i].file);
                    fse.copySync(docs[i].file, baseFolder + '/sources/' + docs[i].file);
                }
            }

Because baseFolder + '/sources/' + docs[i].file will be something like webapp/sources/../front/js so at the end sources are copied into webapp/front/js

Everything works fine in this code when sources are in grunt folder because the files are not passed with ../ as preffix.

I thought in a workaround copying sources intro grunt folder before starting to work with them. However, if this is a unwanted functionality, id like what do you think as a possible solution or alternative.

I'll investigate. You should be able to give docular whatever paths you want, without having to do any special copying.
