I have a grunt file I am trying to see if I can split so I can call something like grunt build:dev or grunt build:prod.
Right now the task looks like this -
grunt.registerTask('build', "Building all needed files.", [
'clean:build',
'check-code',
'clean:dist',
'dist:prepare',
'copy',
'cssmin',
'injector',
'webpack:prod',
'create-status-page'
]);
And I am wondering if there is a way to split this task like you can with configs with a key of dev and prod, where the task list for prod it slight different than dev. Sort of similiar to how you might do it with tha configs like
return {
dev: {
...
},
prod: {
...
}
}
Is something like this possible? To be clear, I am asking if I can get away with registering both these in a single task.
You may be able to use a multitask.
grunt.initConfig({
build: {
dev: ['task1', 'task2', 'task3'],
prod: ['taskA', 'taskB', 'taskC']
}
});
grunt.registerMultiTask('build', 'Building...', function() {
grunt.task.run(this.data);
});
Then you can do grunt build:dev or grunt build:prod
Note: If you just do grunt build, it will iterate through all of the properties, so it would run both dev tasks and prod tasks.

how exactly do you run ng-annotate from the command line? Im trying to minify angular, angular_routes and my own script.js into one file. Ive tried grunt uglify:app1 but it gives the injection error. My own code works when minified by itself but not when combined with the angular scripts.here is the grunt file
grunt.initConfig({
ngAnnotate: {
options: {
singleQuotes: true,
},
app1: {
files: {
'min.js': ['angular.js','angular_routes.js','script.js'],
},
},
},
});
grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-ng-annotate');
I dont know what the command is to run it.
Add this to your grunt file:
grunt.registerTask('default', ['ngAnnotate']);
And then just run grunt in the console
As the title says I'm new to Grunt. I am following a tutorial located at: http://24ways.org/2013/grunt-is-not-weird-and-hard/. It is an older tutorial but most seems to work the same. I have installed "grunt-contrib-concat" and "grunt-contrib-uglify" and can run both individually. But when I run grunt, I get the following error: Warning: Task "concat, uglify" not found. Use --force to continue. Aborted due to errors. I've been looking around and can't seem to figure it out. My files are as follows:
Gruntfile.js:
module.exports = function(grunt) {
// 1. All configuration goes here
grunt.initConfig({
pkg: grunt.file.readJSON('package.json'),
concat: {
dist: {
src: [
'js/libs/*.js', // All JS in the libs folder
'js/controls.js', // This specific file
],
dest: 'dist/built.js',
}
},
uglify: {
build: {
src: 'js/build/production.js',
dest: 'js/build/production.min.js',
}
},
});
// 3. Where we tell Grunt we plan to use this plug-in.
grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-contrib-concat');
grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-contrib-uglify');
// 4. Where we tell Grunt what to do when we type 'grunt' into the terminal.
grunt.registerTask('default', ['concat, uglify']);
};
package.json:
{
"name": "grunt_libsass_example-project",
"version": "0.1.0",
"devDependencies": {
"grunt": "~0.4.1",
"grunt-contrib-concat": "^0.5.1",
"grunt-contrib-uglify": "^0.9.1"
}
}
Your passing in only one string for the registerTask task list. It should be a array with a list of strings like:
grunt.registerTask('default', ['concat', 'uglify']);
You're getting that error because it's looking for a task named 'concat, uglify'.
I had to run:
npm install grunt-contrib-uglify --save-dev
Edit working version and explanation
I want to concat files from different server into my destination folder using grunt, and grunt-concat and with something like that:
concat: {
options: {
separator: ';'
},
dist: {
src: ['dev.staticcontent.com/media/clientcontent/library/*.js', 'js/*.js'],
dest: 'dist/<%= pkg.name %>.js'
}
},
each time I tried, I received no error from grunt, but my dist/marketing-home.js file is empty... Like it didn't find anything.
Console:
C:\Project\My>grunt
Running "jshint:files" (jshint) task
>> 1 file lint free.
Running "concat:dist" (concat) task
File dist/marketing-home.js created.
Running "uglify:dist" (uglify) task
Done, without errors.
New Version
After the help of Kris, I was able to do it without passing through the web using grunt-exec and doing using COPY or XCOPY shell command.
ex.
exec: {
copy : {
cmd: function () {
var path = "\\\\dev-server123\\WebSites\\Static_Contents\\Media\\clientcontent";
return "copy dist\\*.min.js " + path + " /y";
}
}
}
Doesn't look like concat task handles absolute paths or files from remote locations. However I was able to get it to work using curl task combined with the concat task.
EXAMPLE:
module.exports = function(grunt) {
grunt.initConfig({
pkg: grunt.file.readJSON('package.json'),
curl: {
'download/jquery.js': 'http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.7.1/jquery.min.js',
},
concat: {
js: {
src: ['download/jquery.js'],
dest: 'output/test.js'
},
}
});
grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-curl');
grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-contrib-concat');
grunt.registerTask('default', ['curl', 'concat']);
};
DEMO DIRECTORY STRUCTURE:
I used this Node Module Package for CURL. https://github.com/twolfson/grunt-curl, there may be better ones out there. But this one seemed to work fine.
This is relevant to any Grunt task which has a source file and a destination (output file).
When I run grunt in my command line, I don't want Grunt to write anything to file, I just want to view (return) the output to my console, be it Bash, CMD or any CLI.
Lets take uglify for example.
module.exports = function(grunt) {
grunt.initConfig({
uglify: {
options: {
mangle: true,
sourceMap: true,
},
build: {
src: 'js/foo.js',
dest: 'js/foo.min.js' <-- Don't need this.
}
}
});
grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-contrib-uglify');
grunt.registerTask('default', ['uglify']);
};
Instead of Done, without errors, when successful, I want to view the uglifed code in the console.
For context, I need this for a command line application which won't need anything written to disk. I just need to use the output on the fly (I'm trying to avoid writing to file and re-reading from the CLI).
You could write directly to /dev/stdout ( not on windows tough ):
build: {
src: 'js/foo.js',
dest: '/dev/stdout'
}
I've the following Grunfile.js File:
module.exports = function(grunt) {
// Project configuration.
grunt.initConfig({
pkg: grunt.file.readJSON('package.json'),
sass: {
dist: {
options: {
style: 'compressed'
},
files: {
'css/build/style.css': 'css/style.scss'
}
}
},
watch: {
stylesheets: {
files: ['css/*.scss'],
tasks: ['newer:sass']
}
}
});
// Load the plugin that compiles sass
grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-contrib-sass');
// watch for, and run grunt if files change
grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-contrib-watch');
// Plugin for Grunt tasks to run with newer files only.
grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-newer');
// Grunt Tasks:
grunt.registerTask('default', ['newer:sass']);
};
After running grunt watch and saving my scss File, the console output is the following:
Running "watch" task
Waiting...
>> File "css\style.scss" changed.
Running "newer:sass" (newer) task
Running "newer:sass:dist" (newer) task
Running "sass:dist" (sass) task
File css/build/style.css created.
Running "newer-postrun:sass:dist:1:D:\xampp\htdocs\grunt-test\node_modules\grunt-newer\.cache" (newer-postrun) task
Done, without errors.
The problem is, the .scss file is compiled every time. Even if there was no change.
I don't understand why grunt is running 3 tasks (newer:sass, newer:sass:dist, sass:dist), instead of only running the task defined under watch (newer:sass).
Hope someone has an idea to fix this. :)
I'm not positive this is the problem, but try specifying that you don't want to run all of sass, just sass:dist. So try: grunt.registerTask('default', ['newer:sass:dist']);
