Using glob patterns not for default Grunt keys - gruntjs

Question

1. Summary
I can't set grunt-clean-console plugin, that it works for all my .html files.
2. Details
grunt-clean-console check browser console errors for .html files.
I want to check browser console errors for all .html files of my site. In official descripition I read, how plugin works for specific values of url key. I have many pages in my site; I don't want add each .html file separately. But I can't find, how I can use patterns.
I find, that I can use patterns for built-in Grunt cwd, src, dest keys. But how I can use glob (or another) patterns for custom keys as url of this plugin?
3. Data
Gruntfile.coffee:
module.exports = (grunt) ->
grunt.loadNpmTasks 'grunt-clean-console'
grunt.initConfig
'clean-console':
all:
options:
url: 'output/index.html'
return
example project configuration:
output
│ 404.html
│ index.html
│
├───KiraFirstFolder
│ KiraFirstfile.html
│
└───KiraSecondFolder
KiraSecondFile.html
If I set specific values for url key without patterns as in example above, grunt-clean-console successfully works:
phantomjs: opening page output/index.html
phantomjs: Checking errors after sleeping for 5000ms
ok output/index.html
phantomjs process exited with code 0
Done.

4.1. Globbing
Official documentation
Gruntfile.coffee:
module.exports = (grunt) ->
grunt.loadNpmTasks 'grunt-clean-console'
grunt.initConfig
'clean-console':
all:
options:
url: 'output/**/*.html'
return
output:
phantomjs: opening page http://output/**/*.html
phantomjs: Unable to load resource (#1URL:http://output/**/*.html)
phantomjs: phantomjs://code/runner.js:30 in onResourceError
Error code: 3. Description: Host output not found
phantomjs://code/runner.js:31 in onResourceError
phantomjs: loading page http://output/**/*.html status fail
phantomjs://code/runner.js:50
phantomjs process exited with code 1
url output/**/*.html has 1 error(s)
>> one of the urls failed clean-console check
Warning: Task "clean-console:all" failed. Use --force to continue.
Aborted due to warnings.
4.2. Building the object dinamically
Official documentation
Gruntfile.coffee (example):
module.exports = (grunt) ->
grunt.loadNpmTasks 'grunt-clean-console'
grunt.initConfig
'clean-console':
all:
options:
url:
files: [
expand: true
cwd: "output/"
src: ['**/*.html']
dest: "output/"
]
return
output:
File: [no files]
Options: urls=[], timeout=5, url=["output/**/*.html"]
Fatal error: missing url
4.3. Templates
Official documentation
Gruntfile.coffee:
module.exports = (grunt) ->
grunt.loadNpmTasks 'grunt-clean-console'
grunt.initConfig
'clean-console':
all:
options:
url: '<%= kiratemplate %>'
kiratemplate: ['output/**/*.html'],
return
output:
phantomjs: opening page http://output/**/*.html
phantomjs: Unable to load resource (#1URL:http://output/**/*.html)
phantomjs: phantomjs://code/runner.js:30 in onResourceError
Error code: 3. Description: Host output not found

Answer 1

Create a function before the grunt.initConfig part that utilizes grunt.file.expand. For instance:
Gruntfile.js
module.exports = function(grunt) {
grunt.loadNpmTasks 'grunt-clean-console'
// Add this function...
function getFiles() { return grunt.file.expand('output/**/*.html'); }
grunt.initConfig({
'clean-console': {
all: {
options: {
url: getFiles() // <-- invoke the function here.
}
}
}
// ...
});
// ...
}
Notes:
The getFiles function returns an array of file paths for all .html files matching the given glob pattern, i.e. 'output/**/*.html'.
The value of the options.url property is set to getFiles() to invoke the function.
