Shopify livereload grunt - gruntjs

Has anyone got Shopify LiveReload to work for their workflow development to work with grunt? Please bare in mind, when viewing a live preview of the development, it's not stored locally, but instead through shopify's custom url's.
If anyone knows how to get livereload to work on shopify, I would be more than thankful.
Thanks in advance.

Hey this would be awesome too as I use LiveReload for all my projects, but I think it's really for local web development servers rather than live servers, or in this case shopify which doesn't give you any kind of server level control in that respect.
However, there is this awesome grunt task!
it essentially watches any file changes when editing files locally, then automatically uploads them to the respective shopify store/theme, I've not had any issues with it at all and it's been a huge timesaver.
Hope that helps :)

Yeoman/Grunt - Compiling SASS files in subfolder

This is my folder structure:
All the sass files that are in the styles folder (e.g. newStyles.sass) are being compiled, but the sass files in the myUi folder (e.g. nuclearMed.sass) are not.
I changed to {,*/}* with /**/* in my Gruntfile.js, but it is still only looking one-level down. Does anyone know what I am doing wrong?

I think I see your problem
"Compass operates on a folder level. Because of this you don't specify any src/dest, but instead define the sassDir and cssDir options."
compass: {
options: {
sassDir: '<%= yeoman.app %>/styles/**/*.js',
cssDir: '.tmp/styles',
Globbing isn't supported by the sassDir config var. You can however use globbing in the specify config if needed:

yeoman grunt build task

I am using the Compass framework to build my css files.
I created a new .scss file test.scss in app/styles separate from main.scss.
While using grunt build, all of my .scss files have been compiled to css and created in the .tmp folder, but only main.css is moved to dist/style. My test.css file is not moving.

The main.css you see in your dist folder is actually a file concatenation.
If you want your test.scss to be in there, look at your index.html file.
You will see the following:
```
<!-- build:css({.tmp,app}) styles/main.css -->
<link rel="stylesheet" href="styles/main.css">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="styles/test.css">
<!-- endbuild -->
```
When you build, yeoman will look for all those files and create a main.css from them.

grunt bower-install does nothing?

I'm very new with grunt/bower. What I'm trying to do is install dependencies on my application and have them injected into my source directly.
I do something like:
bower install socket.io-client
followed by;
grunt bower-install
Since I want the newly installed dependencies in my index.html, and indeed my grunt serve shows:
>> File "app/index.html" changed.
... Reload app/index.html ...
Completed in 0.000s at Wed Mar 19 2014 15:06:11 GMT+0100 (CET) - Waiting...
And then I check my index.html file to see that nothing has changed. Also, I can check on my browser console that io isn't available.
What am I doing wrong here? Doesn't grunt bower-install work out of the box, or do I need to change it? What is grunt bower-install doing that triggers a change on the grunt serve output?

You need to be sure to save your installed dependencies to bower.json (bower install --save __). grunt-bower-install uses that file to know what dependencies your app has.

Grunt server does not use virtual host name for my app..vhost and httpd are set up but grunt is not using them

So I am trying to setup my app with a name rather than using 127 0 0 1.
Every single time I run grunt, my address is http://127.0.0.1:9000/#/ ... I've tried many things and nothing is working...I always get redirected to that place.
Here are my files:
httpd.conf
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot "/Users/myusername/Sites/MyApp/app"
ServerName myapp.dev
<Directory "/Users/myusername/Sites/MyApp/app">
Options FollowSymLinks MultiViews Indexes
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
Deny from none
Allow from all
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
hosts

::1 myapp.dev

#Dmitry Nikitenko is correct, you don't need Apache. You need to change your Gruntfile
The hostname option is only used to specify where livereload should connect to. This doesn't change the default url which is opened when you start Grunt. What you need is to specify a URL for open in your livereload options. For example:
livereload: {
options: {
open: 'http://myapp.dev:9000',
base: [
'.tmp',
'<%= yeoman.app %>'
]
}
You don't need Apache here. Connect is a web server, so it already serves your static files. Try to disable Apache and change your hostname option to localhost.

grunt cssmin preserve a non minified version

i'm using yeoman 1.0 rc and grunt for creating a static website, everithing is working fine, but i want to make besides the css minified version, a non minified version with all the filepaths updated, is that posible and how can i achive this.

thanks.
For production purpose you should always aim for the smallest amount of files (Because the most "expensive" (time wise) the HTTP is opening a connection, especially on mobile devises) and lowest file-size.
Meaning deploy the "dist" folder for production.
For testing purpose I usally deploy the "app" folder, because speed is not an issue here, an I would, as you write, like to be able to se exactly where in the code (css og js) the problems is.
So I would recogment just deploy the "app" folder until you are sure everything is as you want it.
