Angular grunt build (from yeoman) breaks my app

Question

after running the build from the /dist folder I get:

Uncaught Error: [$injector:modulerr] http://errors.angularjs.org/1.2.1/$injector/modulerr?p

I think the default GruntFile.js has changed a bit in Yeoman since this question was answered.

This worked for me:

Uncommented out the following uglify block and added the mangle:false option.

uglify: {
   options:{mangle:false},
   dist: {
     files: {
       '<%= yeoman.dist %>/scripts/scripts.js': [
         '<%= yeoman.dist %>/scripts/scripts.js'
       ]
     }
   }
},

Then I commented out the ngmin line (which took forever to run anyway).

The result is non-mangled js which is considerably larger, but runs my angular code well. Eventually I suppose ngmin will be smart enough to handle things more seamlessly, but until then I'm okay with the extra bytes.
