--gruntfile flag not respected about grunt-cli HOT 6 CLOSED

Now that we're using require to determine where the Grunt lib has been installed, you unfortunately can't run the grunt command from a directory that isn't a subdirectory of where Grunt has been installed. If that makes any sense.

One way we could work around this is to make grunt-cli aware of the --gruntfile flag, but that will complicate the cli tool.

https://github.com/substack/node-resolve supports using a basedir.

Right. So the solution is to check and see if --gruntfile is specified, and if so, extract the path part and resolve from there. Can you see a more elegant way?

Nope, you're totally on point. We should probably spend some time figuring out what the best separation of concerns is for the cli/grunt split, though.

Merged and published as 0.1.9, thanks!
