grunt serve deleting reference to openlayers.js in index.html

Question

I have started a project using yoeman using the webapp generator.

I have installed the open layers package and added the following line to my index.html

Other than a reference to copying some kml files the gruntfile is unchange since yeoman generated it Any suggestion on where to look for a soultion to this issue. // Generated on 2014-12-09 using // generator-webapp 0.5.1 'use strict';

// # Globbing
// for performance reasons we're only matching one level down:
// 'test/spec/{,*/}*.js'
// If you want to recursively match all subfolders, use:
// 'test/spec/**/*.js'

module.exports = function (grunt) {

Since you don't show your HTML file that changes, I can only assume that you put your reference between the bower / endbower tags. Your grunt wiredep taks would replace everything between those tags with the modules installed with bower.
