grunt-contrib-watch

We're trying out Vagrant. We have a web application directory on the host shared with the guest via NFS. While developing the website we quickly started to hit issues. We are running gulp-watch to spot changes to stylesheet and javascript files and run tasks, but changes were not being picked up for up to one minute. Also, Laravel was not noticing that blade templates were being changed, and so was not recompiling them and the old view templates were being shown. I eventually boiled down the problem to a very short PHP script to demonstrate the error. <?php header('Content-Type: text/plain');

When I execute the clean task (grunt clean), everything works as expected but when I run the watch task (grunt test), I get the following error: util.js:35 var str = String(f).replace(formatRegExp, function(x) { ^ RangeError: Maximum call stack size exceeded Here's my gruntfile module.exports = (grunt) -> grunt.initConfig pkg: grunt.file.readJSON('package.json') clean: ['tmpDir/'] watch: options: spawn: false src: tasks: ['clean'] files: [ src: 'client/assets/strings/en/str.coffee' ] # plugins grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-contrib-clean') grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-contrib-watch') # tasks grunt

I'm using Grunt to compile my CSS with compass and trigger the browser livereload. These are my watch tasks: watch: { styles: { options: { spawn: false, }, files: [assetsDir + '/**/*.scss', '!**/*.{dev,min}.scss'], tasks: [ 'concat:styles', 'compass:styles', 'imagemin:styles', 'cssmin:styles', 'clean:styles', ], }, scripts: { options: { spawn: false, }, files: [assetsDir + '/**/*.js', '!**/*.{dev,min}.js'], tasks: [ 'concat:scripts', 'uglify:scripts', ], }, livereload: { options: { livereload: true, spawn: false, }, files: [assetsDir + '/**/*.{dev,min}.{css,js}'], }, }, At the moment the

Can the grunt watch be restarted when ever there is a change in grunt.js file use case: I am right now in the process of building my grunt process and keep changing the grunt.js file and I have to restart the grunt.js to see if it works. jakerella It looks like this was implemented in version 0.4.0 . You can see the issue here which explains that by simply watching the Gruntfile (even without any tasks) the entire contents of the Grunt setup will be reloaded: watch: { grunt: { files: ['grunt.js'] } } Yes you can achieve it. For example add Gruntfile.js to your files array. watch: { js:{ files:

I'm having trouble configuring Grunt to watch my project files, rebuild and update a page hosted in a connect server. If I run any of the build tasks and then 'watch' as part of a combined task, then 'watch' seems to get stuck in a loop, endlessly printing the message. Running "watch" task Waiting... Warning: must provide pattern If instead I just run $ grunt watch , it will happily watch my source files and compile/build as appropriate. I think the relevant task configurations are these: watch: { html: { files: [ '<%= site.partials %>', '<%= site.layouts %>', '<%= site.pages %>' ], tasks: [

Grunt takes a quite long to compile the css file, I am not sure if this is normal but regular compass watch takes around 5 seconds. So the question is if there is any way to speed up the compilation time with Grunt or is it better to just stick with compass watch?

I am kinda new to grunt and want to use it with Jekyll and some LESS-compiling. My problem now is, I already have fully functioning LESS-comipiling with live reload and watch task and can build my jekyll site through grunt, but how do I run something like the jekyll serve or grunt-connect and grunt watch simultaneously? I want a grunt task that provides the watching of my LESS-files etc, builds the jekyll site and then runs a small web server with grunt-connect or whatever. My Gruntfile.js so far: 'use strict'; module.exports = function (grunt) { grunt.initConfig({ jshint: { options: {
