I am working on a site that uses SCSS. We have grunt watching those files to convert them to css but each time we make a change we have to tab over to the css file and upload. Maybe not a big deal but over time on different projects it adds up.
I would like the watch process to run ftpush once it see's a change but the only times I've got it to work it stays on ftpush which means we have to exit grunt then run it again. It would be helpful if after the upload os complete(or a specific time passes) it resumes the watch task.
module.exports = function (grunt) {
grunt.initConfig({
pkg: grunt.file.readJSON('package.json'),
sass: {
options: {
loadPath: ['bower_components/foundation/scss'],
sourceMap: true
},
dist: {
options: {
style: 'expanded'
},
files: {
'assets/css/app.css': 'assets/scss/app.scss'
}
}
},
ftpush: {
build: {
auth: {
host: 'OUR HOST',
port: 21,
authKey: 'key1'
},
src: '../vhc-master',
dest: '/var/www/html/vhc/dev/wp-content-themes/vhc-master'
}
},
watch: {
scripts: {
files: ['Gruntfile.js'],
tasks: ['ftpush'],
options: {
interrupt: true,
reload: true
}
},
sass: {
files: 'assets/scss/*.scss',
tasks: ['sass']
}
}
});
grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-sass');
grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-contrib-watch');
grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-ftpush');
grunt.registerTask('build', ['sass']);
grunt.registerTask('deploy', ['ftpush']);
grunt.registerTask('default', ['build','watch']);

I am developing a WordPress site on a server (not local). I want to refresh the page in my browser whenever I modify a sass file. I've got some grunt tasks listed, but right now I just want it to refresh on any sass modification. Right now, it catches whenever a file is modified, but it does not refresh the page.
Gruntfile:
module.exports = function(grunt) {
// Project configuration.
grunt.initConfig({
pkg: grunt.file.readJSON('package.json'),
watch: {
scripts: {
options: { livereload: true },
files: ['**/*.scss'],
//tasks: ['criticalcss:front', 'criticalcss:page', 'cssmin', 'postcss'],
}
},
postcss: {
options: {
processors: [
require('autoprefixer')({browsers: 'last 6 versions'}), // add vendor prefixes
//require('cssnano')() // minify the result
]
},
dist: {
src: 'style.css',
dest: 'style.css'
}
},
criticalcss: {
front : {
options: {
url: "https://grandeurflooring.ca/grand_dev/",
minify: true,
width: 1500,
height: 900,
outputfile: "critical_css/critical-front.css",
filename: "style.css",

}
}
},

files: [{
expand: true,
cwd: 'critical_css',

}
}
});
// Load the plugin that provides the "critical" task.
grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-criticalcss');
// Load the plugin that provides the "cssmin" task.
grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-contrib-cssmin');

grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-contrib-watch');
// Load the plugin that provides the "PostCSS" task.
grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-postcss');
// Critical task.
grunt.registerTask('critical', ['criticalcss:front']);
};
In footer.php, before wp_footer(), I put the script:
<script src="http://localhost:35729/livereload.js"></script>
You can configure Grunt to watch the compiled css file in your dist directory, which would be updated every time the Sass is recompiled.
Here is my watch configuration which is achieving what you want:
watch: {
options: {
livereload: true,
},
html: {
files: ['index.html'],
},
js: {
files: ['js/**/*.js'],
tasks: ['jshint'],
},
sass: {
options: {
livereload: false
},
files: ['css/scss/**/*.scss'],
tasks: ['sass'],
},
css: {
files: ['dist/css/master.css'],
tasks: []
}
}
You might need to change spawn: false to spawn: true depending on your setup as well.
EDIT: Additionally, you can use the grunt-contrib-watch plugin which allows you to:
Run predefined tasks whenever watched file patterns are added, changed or deleted
This plugin contains numerous additional options for live-reloading, watching, etc. which you may find useful.
For some reason running grunt from the terminal doesn't work. When I run grunt dev and open http://localhost:8000/ it works, but when I just use grunt it says This site can’t be reached. localhost refused to connect.
Any ideas what I am missing?

grunt.registerTask('default', ['watch']); // this is the default command, use in terminal 'grunt'
grunt.registerTask('dev', ['connect', 'sass', 'cssmin', 'uglify', 'clean', 'watch']); // use 'grunt dev' for development
};
Once you execute 'grunt', 'default' command will be executed.
In your case, only 'watch' task is executed.
grunt.registerTask('default', ['watch']);
If you want to reach 'localhost', you need to run 'connect' module.
'watch' task is just watching file changes. not launch web-server.
'connect' is for launching web-server.
Thanks.
I am trying to get my index.html at the root of my app (app/index.html) running with grunt from I file I inherited.
My grunt file is as follows:
module.exports = function(grunt) {
// 1. All configuration goes here
grunt.initConfig({
pkg: grunt.file.readJSON('package.json'),
sass_directory_import: {
your_target: {
files: {
src: ['css/sass/parts/_all.scss']
},
},
},
connect: {
server: {
options: {
port: 9000,
hostname: 'localhost',
base: ['./'],
keepalive: true,
open: {
target: 'http://localhost:9000'
}
}
}
},
sass: {
dist: {
options: {
loadPath: require('node-bourbon').includePaths,
sourceMap: true
},
files: {
'css/style.css' : 'css/sass/style.scss',
'css/style-ie.css' : 'css/sass/style-ie.scss'
}
},
},
watch: {
sass: {
files: 'css/sass/**/*.scss',
tasks: ['sass_directory_import','sass']
}
}
});
// 3. Where we tell Grunt we plan to use this plug-in.
grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-sass');
grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-contrib-cssmin');
grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-contrib-concat');
grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-contrib-uglify');
grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-contrib-watch');
grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-sass-directory-import');
grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-contrib-connect');
// 4. Where we tell Grunt what to do when we type "grunt" into the terminal.
grunt.registerTask('default',['watch', 'connect:server']);
grunt.registerTask('build',['sass', 'uglify']);
};
I want index to appear under the port: http://localhost:9000 but when I run the default watch task, only get the sass files being watched for changes and nothing else. How do I get grunt to run the file under the given port? I have only used Gulp before and am not finding grunt very easy to work with. Is there a grunt server/connect task that does not have to be installed?
can you please take a look at the following Gruntfile to see if you can determine why it isn't running cssnano and autoprefixer?
Grunt is currently watching my project and with each save grunt-sass compiles fine but neither grunt-cssnano or autoprefixer are doing their thing and no errors are reported.
Done, without errors.

File "sass\styles.scss" changed.
Running "sass:dist" (sass) task
I figure I've done something wrong with grunt-contrib-watch setup (specifically the css part) but that's just a guess.
My project folder looks like so
dist
css
styles.css
node_modules (includes all relevant packages)
sass
styles.css
Gruntfile.js
package.json
And my Gruntfile is as follows
module.exports = function (grunt) {
grunt.initConfig({
sass: {
options: {
sourceMap: false
},
dist: {
files: {
'dist/css/styles.css': 'sass/styles.scss'
}
}
},
postcss: {
options: {
map: {
inline: false,
annotation: 'dist/css/maps/'
},
processors: [
require('autoprefixer')({
browsers: 'last 2 versions'
}),
require('cssnano')()
]
},
dist: {
src: 'dist/css/styles.css'
}
},
watch: {
sass: {
files: 'sass/*.scss',
tasks: ['sass']
},
css: {
files: 'dist/css/styles.css',
tasks: ['cssnano', 'autoprefixer']
}
},
});
grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-contrib-watch');
grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-sass');
grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-postcss');
grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-cssnano');
grunt.registerTask('default', ['watch', 'sass', 'postcss:dist', 'cssnano', 'autoprefixer']);
};
registering a task like you do :
grunt.registerTask('default', ['watch', 'sass', 'postcss:dist', 'cssnano']);
will execute the tasks one by one. So in your case, only the watch task will be executed because it "never ends" till you finish it. So the sass, postcss:dist, cssnano wont be reached.
So in your case it will execute the watch task only, which will watch the *.scss files to execute the sass task and watch the style.css to execute the cssnano and autoprefixer task.
But these 2 last tasks aren't defined in your config, so it won't do anything.
To solve your problem, remove the tasks from your default registered task because they aren't used :
grunt.registerTask('default', ['watch']);
And add a config for each missing task. for example:
cssnano: {
options: {
sourcemap: true
},
dist: {
files: {
'dist/css/styles.min.css': 'dist/css/styles.css'
}
}
},
//and same for autoprefixer
With a lot more trial and error it looks like I have a solution. The below file now runs Sass, cssnano, autoprefix and watch. Sass, cssnano and autoprefix packets (and I assume any others that are added in future) will do their thing in grunt.initConfig while and at the bottom of the file registerTask takes care of watch.
More work is need to figure out how to create other registerTasks but that's for another day.
Thanks to Mian who set me on the right track.

I am trying to set up a workflow using grunt, to help with development of my jekyll site.
Found this great TUT which basically goes through how to install it in your workflow.
However, I get these errors when I run the 'grunt' command.
**[BS] Warning: Multiple External IP addresses found**
**[BS] If you have problems, you may need to manually set the 'host' option**
**[BS] Server running. Use this URL: http://192.168.1.5:3005**

Obviously the ones I bolded are most glaring, as NO css is being generated in my 'assets/css
