PKG_VERSION placeholder seems not to work in markup files

[renestalder]

e.g. using it in functions.php, it doesn't get replaced on compilation.

Okay, it works in comments, but not somewhere else. Wanted behaviour?

It works in markup files (in comments and in the code) but it looks like it works only for the first replacement in every file.

Example:

src:

wp_enqueue_style('made_fonts', get_template_directory_uri() . '/fonts.css', [], '{PKG_VERSION}');
wp_enqueue_style('made_style', get_stylesheet_uri(), [], '{PKG_VERSION}');
wp_enqueue_script('made_scripts', get_template_directory_uri() . '/app.js', [], '{PKG_VERSION}', true);

dist:

wp_enqueue_style('made_fonts', get_template_directory_uri() . '/fonts.css', [], '0.0.0');
wp_enqueue_style('made_style', get_stylesheet_uri(), [], '{PKG_VERSION}');
wp_enqueue_script('made_scripts', get_template_directory_uri() . '/app.js', [], '{PKG_VERSION}', true);

This might only work if you remove the comment in the head of the default template. I've already tested to set a variable at start, after the first replacement which is the comment.

How about reading the package.json in PHP separately and setting a global variable for use in markup files? I'm bothered that there is a performance drop in compilation if the replace script of gulp would have to replace all instances of all markup files.

By default, we add the current version to the theme's style.css (https://github.com/whatwedo/gulp-wp-theme/blob/master/src/resources/stylus/style.styl#L6)

Therefore, you can use a WordPress internal function to get the current theme version:

But anyway this bug should be fixed

Uhh.... didn't know about that.

Solves the problem entirely and IMHO should be used instead of replaces in markup.
