Issue in rev-manifest.json file path

[junaidahmed92]

I am using gulp-rev and it is working fine. But I have one issue. I have multiple gulp task and I want to keep track of all in rev-mainfest.json file so I am providing merge:true config in rev.manifest() but it is not creating the file on the path I am providing but at the root level of directory.
Here is how I am providing the path:

    .pipe(rev())
        .pipe(gulp.dest('scripts/bundles/'))
        .pipe(rev.manifest({
            base: 'scripts/revisions/',
            merge: true
        }))
        .pipe(gulp.dest('scripts/revisions/'));

What am I missing here. Also one more thing I have noticed that it only generates file when there is any change but in documentation it's written that we should also use gulp-changed. Why is that?

Same issue here.

Dependencies:

"gulp-rev": "^9.0.0", "gulp": "^4.0.0",

Example task:

const postcssPlugins = [
    autoprefixer({
        browsers: ['last 2 versions', 'ie 11']
    })
];

const minifiedFileExtension = rename({
    extname: '.min.css'
});

if (options.prod) {
    postcssPlugins.push(cssnano);
}

gulp.src(config.paths.css.src)
    .pipe(plumber())
    .pipe(rev())
    .pipe(sourcemaps.init())
    .pipe(sass().on('error', sass.logError))
    .pipe(postCss(postcssPlugins))
    .pipe(gulpIf(options.prod, minifiedFileExtension))
    .pipe(sourcemaps.write())
    .pipe(gulp.dest(config.paths.css.dest))
    .pipe(
        browserSync.reload({
            stream: true
        })
    )
    .pipe(
        rev.manifest('manifest.json', {
            cwd: 'web/app/dist',
            merge: true
        })
    )
    .pipe(gulp.dest('web/app/dist'));

To follow up, it seems that if a manifest.json already exists then the manifest is merged and placed where expected, in this case web/app/dist. If a manifest.json does not exist then the manifest is placed in the root which Im guess is process.cwd() in my case.

Looks like using path solves this for me 🤔

rev.manifest('manifest.json', { path: 'web/app/dist', merge: true })

@iamjaredwalters I already solved this issue but thanks for the answer. Can you tell me one more thing is there any way to keep track of all files in rev-mainfest.json? Right now if we make change in js file and execute gulp command then it overrides the file name in rev-mainfest.json but I want to keep track of all files like:

{
"module-min.js": "module-min-a2720m2695.js",
"module-min.js": "module-min-asdasj2j3j3.js",
"module-min.js": "module-min-adskj2n311.js",
....
}
