gruntjs / grunt Goto Github PK

I'm considering adopting grunt for a few projects. Something I'd be using is a release task, that would, for example, use git-changelog (from git-extras) to update a History.md and to tag and push the actual release (that's what I do for QUnit).

For my validation plugin, there's a bit more going on, currently implemented in Ant: https://github.com/jzaefferer/jquery-validation/blob/master/build.xml - copies files to a dist dir, replaces @Version, minifies, then zips the package, which I then upload as the release.

Mine would be tailored around git, not sure if it should be abstract enough to work with other VCS'.

If there are plans or ideas for this, please post them here.

I've seen a few example grunt files that use concat to prepend a banner at the top of .js files. For example the Grunt JQuery build file (https://github.com/cowboy/grunt-jquery-example/blob/master/grunt.js):

concat: {
    'dist/grunt-jquery-example.js': ['<banner>', '<file_strip_banner:src/grunt-jquery-example.js>']
}

Is there a way to use concat with a matching wildcard in the src and dest to banner an arbitrary number of files? For example:

concat: {
    'dist/*.js': ['<banner>', '<file_strip_banner:src/*.js>']
}

Tangential question:
Is there a reason that the documentation for concat doesn't include the <dest>: [ <src> ] syntax that seems to be used in most grunt files? I'm happy to submit a pull request to the docs with that syntax added if it was just an omission.

When I try to run QUnit, I get the message:

In order for the qunit task to work properly, PhantomJS must be installed... Visit www.phantomjs.org for detailed installation instructions.

If it's a Mac, you should also suggest to use homebrew to get it:
https://github.com/mxcl/homebrew/blob/master/Library/Formula/phantomjs.rb

brew install phantomjs

If I wrote a tool for grunt that allowed listing/installing community maintained tasks from the command line, would you consider removing your default tasks from the default grunt install? I think it would make a little more sense if all the tasks were available under the task dir, rather than having them buried in node_modules, especially if someone wants to modify them.

Hi,

I have this issue on 0.2.14

    <WARN> Task "development" not found. Used --force, continuing. </WARN>

development.js exists, I have tried many ways to solve it...but no luck :(
My code:

  grunt.cli({
    base: chdir, // An absolute path to the folder with configs, assets etc
    config: 'development.js',
    tasks: taskList
  });

A task that let's you specify files or folders to zip for a release. Would be combined with concat and min.

To make this work cross-platform, we'd need a node zip implementation that doesn't depend on native bindings.

adm-zip has some potential, but doesn't yet implement its addLocalFolder method: https://github.com/cthackers/adm-zip

node-native-zip doesn't implement compression, or rather, let's the user take care of it, which seems like a rather bad idea: https://github.com/janjongboom/node-native-zip

node-zipstream might work, lacks any higher level APIs: https://github.com/wellawaretech/node-zipstream

Here's a prototype implementation of a zip task, using node-zipstream: https://github.com/jzaefferer/jquery-validation/blob/master/grunt.js#L46 (currently breaks with 0.2.0, due to https://github.com/wellawaretech/node-zipstream/issues/5)

Currently that wouldn't work outside that project, and it doesn't yet even cover the full requirements. Though I hope that's a good starting point for an API discussion.

due to the changes introduced in 3eba018, long running asynchronous tasks never finish. We discovered this while migrating a project from a Cakefile based build task using stitch to grunt.

Here's the build task that worked on previous versions:

task.registerBasicTask("stitch", "Compile common.js modules with stitch", function( data, name ){

  data.paths = data.paths.map(function(dir){
    return "./" + dir;
  });

  stitch.createPackage( data ).compile(function( error, src ){

    if( error ){
      return log.error( error );
    }

    file.write( name, src );

    log.writeln("File \"" + name + "\" created.");
  });

});

In the current version of grunt the callback passed into compile is never called.

Example:

$ grunt test -v

It would be nice to be able to run a task with something similar to -v that prints verbose for only that task, like...

--alman, -a Explain the task to me like Ben Alman would :D

$ grunt test -a ;)

The grunt file that grunt generated for me when I did

$ grunt init:jquery

Created a min task that looks like this:

  min: {
    'dist/project-name.min.js': ['<banner>', 'dist/project-name.js']
  },

Instead, of looking in dist, it should look in src:

  min: {
    'dist/project-name.min.js': ['<banner>', 'src/project-name.js']
  },

I just started playing with Grunt and must say it is pretty sweet. Very similar to a custom tool I built a while ago, but far more refined.

I'm considering using Buster.js as a testing platform and would love to see it integrated into grunt. If I can find some time to work on this, I assume grunt is open to considering pull requests? It would be awesome to attach remote browsers and test them simultaneously.
http://busterjs.org/

I'd love to hear thoughts and suggestions before I take a stab at implementing it.

I wanted to bring up a watch task scenario that might by useful and not that uncommon.

Currently the watch task allows us to monitor a file, a group of files or a folder for changes for certain type of files and upon change fire a task that is already defined. This is great but I think there is space and a need for improvement.

Lets say we want to use the watch task for things like CoffeScript, Less, Stylus compiling instead of using their own watch features for the purpose of centralizing our tasks and also fill in for the absence of a watch feature like in the case of Less.

At this point when a task is initiated upon a file change we can only run an existing task without really knowing which file has changed. If the name of the file that has changed can be passed to a task that knows how to handle it would be very beneficial.

I'll try to explain with an example:

Lets say we are watching a folder for changes in CoffeScript files. If one file changes, we don't necessarily want to re-compile all the files but just the one that has changed.

Given that currently there is no way for tasks to communicate with one another, enabling such mechanism may even lead to some other useful stuff.

Ultimately I'd like to use grunt for everything that it is or potentially might be able to handle and avoid the need of using other build / minify / compile tools.

I've created a simple basic task that will minify (also concat if multiple) CSS files using sqwish.

Running this on my site CSS shrinks it to half.

task.registerBasicTask( 'css_min', 'Minify CSS files with Sqwish.', function( data, name ) {
    var files = file.expand( data );
    var max = task.helper( 'concat', files );
    var min = require('sqwish').minify( max, config('sqwish').strict ); 
    file.write( name, min );
    if ( task.hadErrors() ) {
        return false;
    }
    log.writeln( 'File "' + name + '" created.' );
    task.helper( 'min_max_info', min, max );
});

Feel free to steal if you want it ;)

Currently, it's unclear how one would develop & test extension and tasks. We should think about a way to create a simple environment to that's bootstrapped with grunt

... I'm not sure if this is the best way to describe what I'm looking for

I've been migrating our custom tasks to use the built-in child_process helper task rather than our custom equivalent. I realized that the built in child_process uses spawn and two custom arrays to buffer output when exec provides this built in.

On top of that, .exec operates more closely to actual command line calls which is what I imagine child_process is typically used to emulate. For example, the command handlebars templates/*.html --output=templates.js works fine on the command line and in child_process.exec because they both expand the * wildcard. It fails when using spawn because spawn does not expand the wildcard.

The following is an implementation of the child_process helper using exec while maintaining the exact same function definition: https://gist.github.com/1989146

testing the irc bot.

bloops?

Would be great to compile Less into CSS as part of the build process. Then run the output through a CSS sqwish task as described in #17.
http://lesscss.org/

Even better if it was Twitter Bootstrap aware:
http://twitter.github.com/bootstrap/

A similar task for stylus would be good too:
http://learnboost.github.com/stylus/

Is there an example of how to provide command line arguments for a task?

Thanks,
Louis

The process.exit logic in https://github.com/cowboy/grunt/blob/master/lib/grunt.js#L115-121 needs to be bypassed occasionally in the cli interface.

My use case is a server task that is long running and cannot have process.exit called.

Per discussion, "grunt" owns the global context and should be allowed to provide global objects that are frequently reused.

I'm using grunt, as packaged in @tbranyen's BackBone.js BoilerPlate project.

Unfortunately, my development PC is a Windows machine.

I've meticulously checked the input files that grunt is concatenating and minifying, and they all seem to be properly encoded as UTF-8. I'm generating three js files - app.js, lib.js and templates.js.

The app file seems to be correctly encoded as UTF-8. The lib and templates files seem to be encoded ISO-8859-1.

Hoping you might have an idea how I can either configure grunt or express to force the right output encoding.

Update:

I tried the following two changes, with no luck.
concat.js, line 17: file.write(name, task.helper('concat', files).toString('utf8'));
min.js, line 33: file.write(name, min.toString('utf8'));

Also read the uglifyjs docs - uglify should output Unicode unless the --ascii directive is sent to it.

Update 2:

I went through contact.js and min.js and added .toString('utf8') everywhere I could, and my text editor now reports that all files generated by the process are UTF-8. I'd create a pull request, but I'm on a new PC and haven't set up git on it yet (horrors).

Don't spend too much time on it on my account, please - encoding issues can be a real PITA. Consider it an FYI in case someone else comes to you with a problem that could be down to encoding issues.

Thanks for the nice tool!

When do you think you'll have something that documents the init task?

404: https://github.com/cowboy/grunt/blob/master/docs/tasks.md
Plenty links to that here: https://github.com/cowboy/grunt/blob/master/docs/configuring.md

Can't tell what it should be linking to now, as there are multiple task_... files.

In the interest of having fewer files, how about supporting configuration inside of package.json?

As an example, browserify supports a browserify option, and npm happily accepts it.

This should definitely be optional, and the configuration options would have to be json.

Hi

I was wondering if it would be interesting to move the config (optionally) to an object you pass while using grunt inside of a nodejs app. Like so:

# start grunt
grunt.cli {
   base: __dirname,
   config: { /* the full object, as it is present inside grunt.js ¨/ },
   tasks: tasks
}

The reason I am asking this, is because I made a project that is build upon grunt. Users should be able to add tasks and properties to the original grunt.js. For example, the user wants to execute all predefined tasks, plus wants to add one custom clean task.

I am struggling to get this done. I want to ship a default grunt.js inside of my node module, but allow users to add tasks and specify the order in which the tasks will run. I don't really know how to tackle this. So to wrap it up, consider a grunt.js like so (pseudo code for length):

// default grunt.js shipped with module
config.init({
lint: { files: [] },
concat { files }
);

// grunt.js passed through the CLI by the user, like so
//    MODULE --custom-grunt grunt.js
config.init({
clean { files } // important: this should run BEFORE the default tasks ?
});

I hope you understand my problem?

thank you for your time

Something I've often found I include in projects is an intro.js and an outro.js which contain either side of an IIFE that my concatenated code should sit within.

One problem I'm having with grunt is that my lint task looks at the whole lib directory, and obviously errors on these files. It would be really useful to either be able to wrap the results of a concatenation with a helper, or for lint to support negation, e.g:

lint: {
    all: [
        'lib/**/*.js',
        '!lib/intro.js',
        ...
    ]
}

https://github.com/cowboy/grunt/blob/master/lib/grunt.js#L12-29

A set of statements like this is basically telling your users emphatically that "it's all or nothing folks," whereas in node generally many files can be required independently of each other and that's considered a good thing. It also makes the hooks for your application very difficult to reconcile with other approaches. If I want to modify how you log in grunt, I need to modify a global variable and that just seems wrong.

The approach we've taken in flatiron is to create an App object and pass that app around, attaching functionality along the way through well-defined plugins; basically a feather-weight IoC mechanism.

Would be interested in your thoughts here. I was going to do spec a potential refactor to the flatiron CLI, but these globals were too hard to reconcile with it. I did another one last week: vesln/issues#8

Anyway, neat project though. <3 buildsystems.

The way the watch task is structured results in missed events. When a file changes and triggers a run of tasks there is an interval where the watched files are not actually watched. For some editors where a "save" event consists of multiple events (including what looks like a delete from the perspective of inotify/watchFile; check out this analysis) this behavior is particularly problematic. In my particular instance, using gvim, I only ever see files deleted and my tasks run seeing empty files.

Perhaps the right approach is to allow the watch task to be persistent and to invoke its dependent tasks without requiring it to restart itself? I played with some other solutions but they all feel like hacks.

Hi

I can't find any info on how to apply any tasks to a new "build" folder. Is that possible?

Inspired by npm init, if an AUTHORS file exists, automatically convert it into an entry in the generated package.json

As it stands right now grunt is very useful if you can manually install all the dependencies with npm install . This immediately breaks down when you include it in another project that cannot reference it as a dependency. The native modules glob and zlib cannot be easily bundled and having someone go through to npm rebuild is cumbersome.

Would you entertain putting it in NPM, it's current state appears stable enough for general consumption.

If you don't already know to type "grunt init:node" with a colon, you might type "grunt init node" or something and be confused why it's not working. It'd be cool if the error message for "grunt init" explained what to do and/or gave an example.

Here's a simeple task to reproduce:

task.registerTask('print_version', function() {
  log.writeln(config("pkg.version")); // [object Object]
  log.writeln(config("pkg").version); // actual version, e.g. 0.2.15
});

Looks like config('pkg.version') also returns the pkg object, instead of the version property. That's supposed to work, isn't it?

At the moment, I'm specifically referring to the lint task, but this would be useful down the road for others.

The use case is that I'm not invoking grunt directly, I would be invoking it from a .NET MSBuild task so that it'll work with our build system. To do that, I'm writing JSON output to stdout from our custom node build script so that I can parse it in C#, but I'd love to migrate to grunt for that.

Would you be open to modifying the provided tasks for that, or is this a "write your own task" situation?

Somewhat related to the fix for #62 - I've got this on my config:

config.init({
  pkg: '<json:package.json>',
  files: {
    distFolder: 'dist/<%= pkg.name %>-<%= pkg.version %>',
    cdnDistFolder: 'dist/<%= pkg.name %>-<%= pkg.version %>-cdn',
    zip: 'dist/<%= pkg.name %>-<%= pkg.version %>.zip',
    cdnZip: 'dist/<%= pkg.name %>-<%= pkg.version %>-cdn.zip'
  }

Currently I have to expand that manually...

var files = config().files;
for (var key in files) {
  files[key] = template.process(files[key], config());
}
config(

...in order to acccess the processed results from other config properties:

zip: {
  dist: {
    src: '<%= files.distFolder %>/**/*',
    dest: '<%= files.zip %>'
  },
  cdn: {
    src: '<%= files.cdnDistFolder %>/**/*',
    dest: '<%= files.cdnZip %>'
  }
}

Or is there a better way to get the same result? The idea is to not repeat certain paths again and again...

For example, a banner template should be able to access the context in which its currently being used. That way a banner template could output the files included in a concat or min task.

Currently look like....

[L299:C25] 'src' is already defined.
                var src = scripts[i].href.baseVal;
[L301:C17] 'src' used out of scope.
            if (src && src.slice(src.length - "testharness.js".length) === "testharness.js") {
[L301:C24] 'src' used out of scope.
            if (src && src.slice(src.length - "testharness.js".length) === "testharness.js") {
[L301:C34] 'src' used out of scope.
            if (src && src.slice(src.length - "testharness.js".length) === "testharness.js") {
[L302:C33] 'src' used out of scope.

Currently the source is being included after the tests:

  <!-- Load local lib and tests. -->
  <script src="foo.js_test.js"></script>
  <script src="../src/foo.js"></script>     

It should be included before the tests:

  <!-- Load local lib and tests. -->
  <script src="../src/foo.js"></script>     
  <script src="foo.js_test.js"></script>

This results in "Uncaught TypeError: Object [object DOMWindow] has no method 'foo'"

Right now, we have:

config.init({
 concat: {
    'dist/grunt-jquery-example.js': ['<banner>', '<file_strip_banner:src/grunt-jquery-example.js>']
  }
});

And while you can do grunt concat, if you want to just concat a specific target, you need to do something like grunt concat:dist/grunt-jquery-example.js.

It would be a lot easier to run only that target like grunt concat:dist, which would be possible if this format was supported:

config.init({
 concat: {
    dist: {
      src: ['<banner>', '<file_strip_banner:src/grunt-jquery-example.js>'],
      dest: 'dist/grunt-jquery-example.js'
    }
  }
});

In addition, it would be cool if the dest filename could be processed as a template like:

'dist/<%= pkg.name %>-<%= pkg.version %>.zip'

See #51 as well.

When I do a grunt init, grunt generates a README.md file with default copy to download development and production versions of my project from https://raw.github.com/boazsender/jquery.twitter/master/dist/project-name(.min).js.

Instead of using cowboy by default, grunt should check my global git config github.username, or ask me for my github username during init.

Not sure where to go from here. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!

This is useful when you want to use the CLI, but also provide default options.

var grunt = require("grunt");

grunt.cli({

  config: "build/config.js",

  tasks: ["build/tasks"]

});

Hi

Would it be possible to exclude certain files from certain tasks within the config file.

For example, I have a /js/libs/ folder which holds regular javascript libs as well as already minified scripts, so I would like to use something like this:

lint: { files: ["assets/js/libs/(*(^min).js"] },
Or something similar? Right now I have the option of using the * wildcart for all .js files, or using every filename specifically.

Thanks btw for this great tool!

Maybe with this: https://github.com/arturadib/shelljs

Patch to follow

If i enter http://github.com/paulirish/newsite/ as my "Project git repository " then

grunt should prompt me with http://github.com/paulirish/newsite/issues as a default issue tracker

I'm not sure if the failure to exit bug is caused by incorrect exit codes or not, this ticket can be updated accordingly
