No replace in json files

[aclayton]

gulp-rev-replace doesn't seem to be accepting .json files, even when adding 'json' to the replaceInExtensions options. This is to support versioning of pwa manifest.json files.

Paths check out (via console)
see my gulp task below.

gulp.task('revReplaceManifest', function() {
  
  console.log('REV Manifest: ', `${paths.dist}/${paths.client.revManifest}`);
  console.log('PWA Manifest: ', 'dist/client/manifest.json');

  return gulp.src('dist/client/manifest.json')
      .pipe(plugins.revReplace({
        replaceInExtensions: ['.json'],
        manifest: gulp.src(`${paths.dist}/${paths.client.revManifest}`)
      }))
      .pipe(gulp.dest('dist/client'));
});

Could any of you set up a small repo with the bare minimum to reproduce the problem? In all of the cases I've tried, replacement in JSON files seems to work just fine.
