Why my grunt autoprefixer does not work? - gruntjs

I don't know why but this code stopped working after a while. It is minifing the code but does not add any vendor prefixes. I would also like to add another files to css like normalize but it didn't work either.
Here is the code:
grunt.initConfig({
pkg: grunt.file.readJSON('package.json'),
uglify: {
dist: {
options: {
banner: '/*! <%= pkg.name %> <%= pkg.version %> filename.min.js <%= grunt.template.today("yyyy-mm-dd h:MM:ss TT") %> */\n',
},
files: {
'js/scripts.min.js' : [
]
}
},
dev: {
options: {
banner: '/*! <%= pkg.name %> <%= pkg.version %> filename.js <%= grunt.template.today("yyyy-mm-dd h:MM:ss TT") %> */\n',
beautify: true,
compress: false,
mangle: false
},
files: {
'js/scripts.js' : [
]
}
}
},
sass: {
dist: {
options: {
compass: true,
style: 'expanded'
},
files: [{
expand: true,
cwd: 'sass',
src: [
'style.scss'
],
dest: 'css',
ext: '.css'
}]
}
},
watch: {
styles: {
files: ['**/*.scss'],
tasks: ['style']
}
},
postcss: {
options: {
map: {
inline: false, // save all sourcemaps as separate files...
annotation: 'css/maps/' // ...to the specified directory
},
processors: [
require('pixrem')(), // add fallbacks for rem units
require('autoprefixer')({browsers: ['last 3 versions']}), // add vendor prefixes
require('cssnano')() // minify the result
]
},
dist: {
src: 'css/style.css',
dest: 'css/styles.min.css'
}
}});
Edit, I've included whole grunt file in the snippet.
module.exports = function(grunt) {
// Project configuration.
grunt.initConfig({
pkg: grunt.file.readJSON('package.json'),
uglify: {
dist: {
options: {
banner: '/*! <%= pkg.name %> <%= pkg.version %> filename.min.js <%= grunt.template.today("yyyy-mm-dd h:MM:ss TT") %> */\n',
},
files: {
'js/scripts.min.js' : [
]
}
},
dev: {
options: {
banner: '/*! <%= pkg.name %> <%= pkg.version %> filename.js <%= grunt.template.today("yyyy-mm-dd h:MM:ss TT") %> */\n',
beautify: true,
compress: false,
mangle: false
},
files: {
'js/scripts.js' : [
]
}
}
},
sass: {
dist: {
options: {
compass: true,
style: 'expanded'
},
files: [{
expand: true,
cwd: 'sass',
src: [
'style.scss'
],
dest: 'css',
ext: '.css'
}]
}
},
watch: {
styles: {
files: ['**/*.scss'],
tasks: ['style']
}
},
postcss: {
options: {
map: {
inline: false, // save all sourcemaps as separate files...
annotation: 'css/maps/' // ...to the specified directory
},
processors: [
require('pixrem')(), // add fallbacks for rem units
require('autoprefixer')({browsers: ['last 3 versions']}), // add vendor prefixes
require('cssnano')() // minify the result
]
},
dist: {
src: 'css/style.css',
dest: 'css/styles.min.css'
}
}
});
grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-contrib-uglify');
grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-contrib-sass');
grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-contrib-watch');
grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-postcss');
// Default task(s).
grunt.registerTask('style', [
'sass',
'postcss'
]);
// Default task(s).
grunt.registerTask('default', [
'uglify:dist',
'sass',
'postcss',
'watch'
]);
};

I think the issue might be, that it doesn't support last 3 versions directive, that's why it doesn't add anything.
Here's the reference on the possible parameters autoperfixer processor might interpret: https://github.com/ai/browserslist
Try to use something alike:
last 2 versions
hopefully this help, as everything else seems to be correct.

Grunt Watch not creating files on save

The tasks in my grunt file are running without errors but the files i'm asking it to create aren't being compiled. They are created if I simple run 'grunt' but if I use 'grunt watch' and save a file it doesn't update.
Particularly I am working on file 'script/src/latestNews.js' so on save this should concat with others to create 'script/dist/main.js', which it does. But it does not then go on to create 'dist/build.min.js' like it should.
module.exports = function (grunt) {
// Project configuration.
grunt.initConfig({
pkg: grunt.file.readJSON('package.json'),
uglify: {

It looks like the array of tasks that are run by your watch:js task is simply missing a couple of critical tasks. Specifically you are not running the concat:build and uglify:build tasks.
Your current array of tasks:
['concat:srcJS', 'uglify:target', 'jshint:main', 'copy:js']
Complete/fixed array of tasks:
['concat:srcJS', 'uglify:target', 'jshint:main', 'concat:build', 'uglify:build', 'copy:js']
Replacing your current array with the fix that I supplied should solve your issue.

How to `uglyfy` all files from a folder to dest folder using grunt?

I have a grunt file. at present i have set only one file for src and dest. it works well. how to i set this for all js file from a folder to dest folder?
here is my config file :
module.exports = function(grunt) {
grunt.initConfig({
pkg: grunt.file.readJSON('package.json'),
uglify: {
options: {
banner: '/*\n <%= pkg.name %> <%= grunt.template.today("yyyy-mm-dd") %> \n*/\n'
},
build: {
files: {
'dist/js/newMagic.min.js' : 'js/script/helloWorld.js'
//instead how to set dest/js : js/script/alljsfiles?
}
}
}
});
grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-contrib-uglify'); //this is only one runs.
grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-contrib-watch'); how to run both?
};
my command: grunt uglify
The most frequent use of uglify is to reduce many input files to one output file:
uglify: {
options: {
banner: '/*\n <%= pkg.name %> <%= grunt.template.today("yyyy-mm-dd") %> \n*/\n'
},
build: {
files: [
{
"dist/js/newMagic.min.js": ["js/script/**/*.js"]
}
]
},
}
If you want to uglify many inputs to many outputs, you can do that with a file spec like this:
uglify: {
options: {
banner: '/*\n <%= pkg.name %> <%= grunt.template.today("yyyy-mm-dd") %> \n*/\n'
},
build: {
files: [
{
src: ["**/*.js"],
dest: "dist/js",
cwd: "js/script",
expand: true
}
]
},
}

Grunt js not opening in browser on server command

When I do a 'grunt serve' in my terminal it just sits and watches. it never opens my browser. I'm not sure what I am missing.
Take a look at this and tell me what I am doing wrong:
module.exports = function(grunt) {
// Project configuration.
grunt.initConfig({
pkg: grunt.file.readJSON('package.json'),
uglify: {
options: {
banner: '/*! <%= pkg.name %> <%= grunt.template.today("yyyy-mm-dd") %> */\n'
},
build: {
src: 'src/<%= pkg.name %>.js',
dest: 'build/<%= pkg.name %>.min.js'
},
my_target: {
files: {
'js/min/main.min.js': ['js/main.js'],
'js/min/libs.min.js': ['bower_components/jquery/dist/jquery.min.js','bower_components/bootstrap/dist/js/bootstrap.min.js']
}
}
},
compass: {
dist: {
options: {
config: 'config.rb', // css_dir = 'dev/css'
sassDir: 'sass',
cssDir: 'css',
}
}
},
watch: {

files: '**/*',
options: {
livereload: true
},
}
},
connect: {
server: {
options: {
port: 8000,
hostname: 'localhost',
}
}
}
});
// Load the plugin that provides the "uglify" task.
grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-contrib-watch');
grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-contrib-compass');
grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-contrib-uglify');
grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-contrib-connect');
grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-serve');
// Default task(s).
grunt.registerTask('build', ['uglify','compass']);
grunt.registerTask('server', [
'uglify',
'compass',
'watch',
'connect'
]);
};

Grunt concat not working during watch task

If I run 'grunt concat' it compiles my JS files as per the Grunt file (line 82). However, it doesn't concatenate when I'm doing 'grunt watch' (line 107).
From what I can see, my file is ok but I'm fairly new to grunt so would love to see if you guys can see an issue.
Here is my full Grunt file...

};
Many thanks
I managed to get it working by moving 'livereload' above 'concat' in the watch task. No idea why this would make a difference but it's working!
If anyone has any insight on why this would affect it I'd love to know.
add this and see:
livereload: {
files: ['*.html', 'css/*.css', 'img/*', 'js/*.js'],
options: {
livereload: true
}
},
options: {
livereload: true
},
files: '<%= options.watch.files %>',//might have to change this line
tasks: ['default', 'notify:watch']

Changing grunt uglify config options on watch

I'm trying to alter my default uglify dev options on 'watch', however they're not getting set. I'm planning on adding more subtasks to the uglify task for 'production' as an example, which will use the default options, however for my 'dev' subtask, i'd like to pass new options with the watch task.
module.exports = function(grunt) {
// Project configuration.
grunt.initConfig({
// ...
uglify: {
// default options
options: {
banner: '<%= banner %>/* Built <%= grunt.template.today("yyyy/mm/dd") %> for <%= powerful.name %> */\n',
preserveComments: 'some',
report: 'min',
mangle: {
except: ['jQuery', 'Backbone']
}
},
dev: {
// options were here...
files: {
// Powerful Theme JS
'<%= powerful.jspath %>touch.min.js':
[
'<%= powerful.jspath %>libs/jquery.hammer.js',
'<%= powerful.jspath %>dev/touch.js'
],
'<%= powerful.jspath %>768down.min.js':
[
'<%= powerful.jspath %>dev/768down.js'
]
}
},
production: {
// production files here, use default options....
}
},
watch: {
js: {
files: ['<%= themesPath %>/**/js/{dev,libs,bootstrap}/*.js'],
tasks: ['uglify:dev'],
options: {
nospawn: true
}
}
}
});
// ...
grunt.event.on('watch', function(action, filepath) {
grunt.config.set('uglify.dev.options', {
banner: '/*! TESTING 123 */',
preserveComments: 'all',
report: false,
compress: false,
beautify: true
});
});
grunt.registerTask('default', ['watch']);
};
