External and Alias about grunt-browserify HOT 2 CLOSED

What happens if you change consumer to options:{external:["lib/module"]}?

The external/alias thing has been confusing basically... everybody. Including me. I'm going to have to revisit how the API works for this with v2.

That did not work, but `options:{ignore:["lib/module"]} did (!). More importantly, the code executed in the browser correctly. Well, thanks for getting back to me and putting me on the right track. I can build a working task config now.

P.S.: The other confusing thing is the relationship between src and alias. If something appears in both - I assumed src meant "include me" and once included alias meant "publish me" - it gets doubled in the output. It may not be that the API is confusing so much as the guidance is lacking. Still, a small (and common) inconvenience for such a useful tool.
