Setting 'compress' option to 'false' still results in minified output

[hal-gh]

My issue is exactly the same as #65. I believe it was closed with a workaround rather than a fix, and hence there is no way to prevent mangle/compression.

My ultimate goal is to strip all comments from bundle.min.js using this config:

removeComments: {
  options: {
    compress: false,
    mangle: false,
    preserveComments: false
  },
  src: [
    './path/to/bundle.min.js'
  ],
  dest: './path/to/bundle.min.js'
}

From #65:

Using uglifyjs directly has the same result; so I'm assuming that it always produces minified output, even when doing no compression. That's a shame.

You should probably report it in the UglifyJS2 repository.

OK, will do.
Still, the documentation has not reflected the actual behaviour of this aspect of UglifyJS2 for over a year now. It would be good to correct it.

// 是否压缩代码
output: {
    beautify: false
}

Hey, what was the result of this? Uglify is breaking my AngularJS code.

'Error: [$compile:nonassign] Expression '' used with directive 'graphTree' is non-assignable!'

I'd like to turn if off, but it's built into the Angular-Fullstack toolchain, so I can't just remove the grunt task and have it work.

How do I turn off mangling?
