Run grunt build command on Travis CI

Question

I am using Travis CI to test and build my project and as part of it I want travis to run grunt build i have tried the following but have had no luck.

Answer 1

Make sure that you have grunt as part of your devDependencies. Here is a sample file: https://github.com/fraxedas/raspi-cloud/blob/master/package.json

"devDependencies": {
  "grunt": "^0.4.5",
  "grunt-contrib-jshint": "^0.11.2",
  "grunt-contrib-watch": "^0.6.1"
}

Travis-ci will install grunt on the install step:

npm install 
...
grunt@0.4.5 node_modules/grunt
...

In my case I wanted to run jshint with grunt. Here is my travis.yml file: https://github.com/fraxedas/raspi-cloud/blob/master/.travis.yml

To integrate grunt all I needed was:

before_script: grunt jshint

You can change jshint by another command.
