Weird parse bug about gulp-include HOT 4 CLOSED

Well, it is not a bug, is a "feature" of replace(). It seems that $& is a special character that is used to use the searched string into the substitution string (see https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/String/replace).

I'm trying to see how to solve it. An easy fix would be to use something like str = str.split(match).join(replaceWith);. Not efficient, but would work.

I have sent #5 with this fix. If you find something better, please forget my code 😄

I'll leave this issue opened until a decision has been made.

Ha! Good catch. That's very odd indeed.

One note on your gulpfile, you only need to run include() once:

gulp.src("app.coffee")
    .pipe(include())
    .pipe(coffee())

Since the javascript is within the backsticks the coffeescript compiler will not touch it.

Edit: I see now that you probably are doing this approach due to the bower-implementation having backticks... That's a shame...

That's right, Bower jQuery version has comments with backticks, that's why I have to do the includeCoffee-CompileCoffee-IncludeJS process 😉

Closing this issue now since #5 has been merged.
