grunt-contrib-uglify keeps removing console.log

I'm new to Grunt, trying to get grunt-contrib-uglify to work and it appears to be working well, however it keeps removing, console.log('hello world') every time it runs.

I see a lot of mentions on how to get Uglify to remove console.log but nothing on actually keeping, which I assumed was the default.

Here's my uglify task:

uglify:{
    options: {
        compress: {
            unused: false,
            drop_console: false
        }
    },
    my_target: {
        files: {
            '_/js/script.js' : ['_/components/js/*.js']
        } //files
    } //my_target
}, //uglify

Here's my JavaScript file:

function test(){
    return 'hello there again once more';
    console.log('test');
}

It's keeping the return line, but not console.log.

function test(){
    return 'hello there again once more';
    console.log('test'); <- this is at wrong place
}

it should be before return

function test(){
    console.log('test'); <- this SHOULD WORK
    return 'hello there again once more';

}

Are you sure it's actually removing it? Is it just that you aren't seeing the log in the console?

The console.log statement is after the return statement, so is never going to be executed. The function has stopped at that point. The try moving console.log to before the return statement.
