How can I skip a grunt task if a directory is empty

问题


I'm using grunt-contrib's concat and uglify modules to process some javascript. Currently if src/js/ is empty, they will still create an (empty) concat'd file, along with the minified version and a source map.

I want to task to detect if the src/js/ folder is empty before proceeding, and if it is, then the task should skip (not fail). Any ideas how to do this?

The solution may not be the prettiest, but could give you an idea. You'll need to run something like npm install --save-dev glob first. This is based on part of the Milkshake project you mentioned.

grunt.registerTask('build_js', function(){
  // get first task's `src` config property and see
  // if any file matches the glob pattern
  if (grunt.config('concat').js.src.some(function(src){
    return require('glob').sync(src).length;
  })) {
    // if so, run the task chain
    grunt.task.run([
        'trimtrailingspaces:js'
      , 'concat:js'
      , 'uglify:yomama'
    ]);
  }
});

With this plugin:

https://www.npmjs.org/package/grunt-file-exists

You can check file existence. (I didn't try, but the source looks like supporting grunt expands. (*, ** ...)

For example like this::

grunt.initConfig({
  fileExists: {
    scripts: ['a.js', 'b.js']
  },
});

grunt.registerTask('conditionaltask', [
    'fileExists',
    'maintask',
]);

But maybe if the file doesn't exist it will fail with error instead of simple skip. (I didn't test it.)

If this is a problem you can modify a bit the source of this plugin to run the related task if the file exists:

The config:

grunt.initConfig({
  fileExists: {
    scripts: ['a.js', 'b.js'],
    options: {tasks: ['maintask']}
  },
});

grunt.registerTask('conditionaltask', [
    'fileExists',
]);

And you should add this:

grunt.task.run(options.tasks);

In this file:

https://github.com/alexeiskachykhin/grunt-file-exists/blob/master/tasks/fileExists.js

after this line:

grunt.log.ok();

Maybe this is just a more up-to-date answer as the others are more than a year old, but you don't need a plugin for this; you can use grunt.file.expand to test if files matching a certain globbing pattern exist.

Update of @Kosmotaur's answer (path is just hard-code here though for simplicity):

grunt.registerTask('build_js', function(){
  // if any file matches the glob pattern
  if (grunt.file.expand("subdir/**/*.js").length) { /** new bit here **/ 
    // if so, run the task chain
    grunt.task.run([
        'trimtrailingspaces:js'
      , 'concat:js'
      , 'uglify:yomama'
    ]);
  }
});
