here is my code, the error is:
Warning: task "concat" not found
module.exports = function(grunt){
grunt.initConfig({
concat: {
options: {
separator: ';',
},
dist: {
src: ['calculation/index.js', 'calculation/test.js'],
dest: 'dist/built.js',
},
},
});
grunt.loadNpmTask("grunt-contrib-contat");
grunt.registerTask('default',['concat'])
;};
I believe you simply need to move the registration of your grunt-contrib-concat task above the point where the config is looking for it.

This is my very first attempt at configuring a Gruntfile.js and i can't seem to figure out what's causing this "Warning: Task "default" not found. Use --force to continue. Aborted due to warnings." error. Can someone please help me figure out what's wrong with my code. Find source code below:
'use strict';
module.exports = function (grunt) {
// Time how long tasks take. Can help when optimizing build times
require('time-grunt')(grunt);
// Automatically load required Grunt tasks
require('jit-grunt')(grunt);
// Define the configuration for all the tasks
grunt.initConfig({
pkg: grunt.file.readJSON('package.json'),
// Make sure code styles are up to par and there are no obvious mistakes
jshint: {
options: {
jshintrc: '.jshintrc',
reporter: require('jshint-stylish')
},
all: {
src: [
'Gruntfile.js',
'app/scripts/{,*/}*.js'
]
}
}
}),
copy: {
dist: {
cwd: 'app',
src: [ '**','!styles/**/*.css','!scripts/**/*.js' ],
dest: 'dist',
expand: true
},
fonts: {
files: [
{
//for bootstrap fonts
expand: true,
dot: true,
cwd: 'bower_components/bootstrap/dist',
src: ['fonts/*.*'],
dest: 'dist'
}, {
//for font-awesome
expand: true,
dot: true,
cwd: 'bower_components/font-awesome',
src: ['fonts/*.*'],
dest: 'dist'
}
]
}
},
clean: {
build: {
src: [ 'dist/']
}
});
grunt.registerTask('build', [
'clean',
'jshint',
'copy'
]);
grunt.registerTask('build', [
'jshint'
]);
grunt.registerTask('default',['build']);
};
You have not defined a task named default. A sample, really small gruntfile.js can be found below:
module.exports = function (grunt) {
grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-contrib-copy');
grunt.initConfig({
copy: {
main: {
files: [
{ expand: true, src: ['**'], cwd: 'lib/font-awesome/fonts/', dest: 'fonts/', filter: 'isFile' },
]
}
}
});
grunt.registerTask('default', ['copy:main']);
};
So, in this file, I'm loading the NPM package called grunt-contrib-copy. Then in the config, I specify the config for the copy sub-task by giving it a name of main and including the rules below that. Each grunt sub-task has it's own format of options and configuration that you can follow. Finally, I'm saying that the Grunt task runner should have a task named default followed by an order of operations. The first (and only) in my case is the copy sub-task and the main ruleset. In your case, this may be copy:dist for the copy operation.
Hope that helps get you started.
I've found the syntax error. These characters ')};' closed the config in the wrong place (line 30) which disrupted the flow of the program. so i just had to remove them and put them in their rightful place way down on line 67.
Sorry it turned out to be just a silly mistake on my part and probably nothing relevant to anyone else.
I'm trying to build a Grunt task that minifys my JS files and return a single minified JS file.
This is my gruntfile.js file:
module.exports = function (grunt) {
// Project configuration.
grunt.initConfig({
minified: {
files: {
src: [
'js/*.js',
],
dest: 'js/min/'
},
options: {
allinone: true
}
},
});
grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-minified');
};
When I run the task it does work, but it also returns an error.
> cmd.exe /c grunt -b "C:\Users\alucardu\documents\visual studio 2015\Projects\JS-demo\JS-demo" --gruntfile "C:\Users\alucardu\documents\visual studio 2015\Projects\JS-demo\JS-demo\Gruntfile.js" minified
Running "minified:files" (minified) task
Warning: Cannot read property 'yellow' of undefined Use --force to continue.
Process terminated with code 3.
Aborted due to warnings.
I've done a search action in my entire solution for 'yellow' but it doesn't return any results. Also when I empty both my JS files that are being minified it still returns the error.
Does anyone know why it's returning this error?
By removing the
options: {
allinone: true
}
The warning no longer showed up, but it also doesn't concat the files together. So I've added another task called concat. So now my gruntfile looks like this:
module.exports = function (grunt) {
// Project configuration.
grunt.initConfig({
watch: {
scripts: {
files: ['js/*.js'],
tasks: ['concat', 'minified', 'uglify'],
},
},
concat: {
dist: {
src: ['js/*.js'],
dest: 'js/min/concat.js'
},
},
minified: {
files: {
src: ['js/min/concat.js'],
dest: 'js/min/minified.js'
},
},
uglify: {
my_target: {
files: {
'js/min/uglify.js': ['js/min/minified.jsconcat.js']
}
}
},
});
grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-contrib-watch');
grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-contrib-concat');
grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-minified');
grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-contrib-uglify');
};
And it seems to be working fine.
When I run grunt with the following Gruntfile, I get the error Warning: task "jade" not found. what exactly could be wrong here?
module.exports = function(grunt) {
grunt.initConfig({
jade: {
compile: {
options: {
client: false,
pretty: true
},
files: [ {
cwd: "app/views",
src: "**/*.jade",
dest: "build/templates",
expand: true,
ext: ".html"
} ]
}
}
});
grunt.registerTask('default','Convert Jade templates into html templates',
['jade','watch']);
grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-contrib-watch');
};
You need to load grunt jade task. The same as yo are adding grunt-contrib-watch
grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-contrib-jade');
This should works.
I am trying to automate my workflow with the help of Grunt. I have everything set up, but the watch task is not working - I can start it, but it doesn't detect changes. The problem really must be in the watch task, as I can trigger the sass task by hand and it compiles correctly without problems.
My Gruntfile looks like this:
module.exports = function (grunt) {
require('load-grunt-tasks')(grunt);
grunt.initConfig({
pkg: grunt.file.readJSON('package.json'),
sass: {
dist: {
options: {
'style': 'compressed'
},
expand: true,
cwd: './sass/',
src: 'style.scss',
dest: './css/',
ext: '.css'
},
dev: {
options: {
'style': 'expanded',
},
expand: true,
cwd: './sass/',
src: 'style.scss',
dest: './css/',
ext: '.css'
}
},
watch: {
sass: {
files: ['<%= sass.dev.src %>'],
tasks: ['default']
}
}
});
grunt.registerTask('default', ['sass:dev']);
};
The structure in the project directory looks like this:
Gruntfile.js
index.html
package.json
css
> style.css (created by sass task)
node_modules
> all required modules
sass
> style.scss
To me everything looks good, but as it is not working something must be wrong. My guess it that the paths following the 'expand' option are off, although I already tried other structures that didn't work either.
Because sass.dev.src equals src: 'style.scss'. The watch task configured with files: ['<%= sass.dev.src %>'] will try and watch ./style.scss and not ./sass/style.scss.
The watch task has a cwd option (options:{cwd:'./sass'}) but probably easier to just set it to watch files: ['sass/*.scss'] instead.
Can anyone tell me why I am getting the following error in terminal when running the following grunt.js file?
module.exports = function(grunt) {
grunt.initConfig({
pkg: grunt.file.readJSON('package.json'),
concat: { // Here is where we do our concatenating
dist: {
src: [
'components/js/*.js' // everything in the src js folder
],
dest: 'js/script.js',
}
}
uglify: {
build: {
src: 'js/script.js',
dest: 'js/script.min.js'
}
}
});
//Add all the plugins here
grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-contrib-concat');
grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-contrib-uglify');
//What happens when we type 'grunt' in the terminal
grunt.registerTask('default', ['concat', 'uglify']);
};
The error I get is:
Loading "gruntfile.js" tasks...ERROR
SyntaxError: Unexpected identifier
Warning: Task "default" not found. Use --force to continue.
THANKS!
You have a missing comma:
grunt.initConfig({
pkg: grunt.file.readJSON('package.json'),
concat: {
dist: {
src: [
'components/js/*.js'
],
dest: 'js/script.js',
}
}, // <---- here was a missing comma
uglify: {
build: {
src: 'js/script.js',
dest: 'js/script.min.js'
}
}
});
Make yourself a favor and use coffeescript!
module.exports = (grunt) ->
grunt.initConfig
pkg: grunt.file.readJSON("package.json")
concat:
dist:
src: ["components/js/*.js"]
dest: "js/script.js"
uglify:
build:
src: "js/script.js"
dest: "js/script.min.js"
grunt.loadNpmTasks "grunt-contrib-concat"
grunt.loadNpmTasks "grunt-contrib-uglify"
grunt.registerTask "default", [
"concat"
"uglify"
]
