I have following gruntfile
module.exports = function (grunt) {
grunt.initConfig({
pkg: grunt.file.readJSON('package.json'),
htmlhint: {
build: {
options: {
'tag-pair': true,
'tagname-lowercase': true,
'attr-lowercase': true,
'attr-value-double-quotes': true,
'doctype-first': true,
'spec-char-escape': true,
'id-unique': true,
'head-script-disabled': true,
'style-disabled': true
},
src: ['index.html']
}
},
watch: {
html: {
files: ['index.html'],
tasks: ['htmlhint']
}
}
});
require("matchdep").filterDev("grunt-").forEach(grunt.loadNpmTasks);
grunt.registerTask('default', ['watch']);
};
And when i try running grunt in cmd it gives me this error
Warning: Task "default" not found. Use --force to continue.
Aborted due to warnings.
How do i fix this
Try adding the htmlhint task to the default:
grunt.registerTask('default', ['htmlhint', 'watch']);
Also make sure you have installed grunt-htmlhint and saved it to your package.json. matchdep uses it in the filterDev method you're using, so if its not saved, it won't get loaded.
npm install grunt-htmlhint --save-dev
Alternatively you could load the task manually using:
grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-htmlhint');

I keep running into this problem everytime I try to use the live reload option of grunt watch.
No matter which port I use, I keep getting the "Fatal error: Port xxxx is already in use by another process."
I listed all ports in use, and choosing a random number that doesn't appear in the list doesn't help: it substitues xxxx with whatever port was last used in the gruntfile.
My gruntfile itself:
module.exports = function (grunt) {
grunt.initConfig({
pkg: grunt.file.readJSON('package.json'),
watch: {
options: {
livereload: true
},
js: {
files: ['.dev/**/*.js'],
tasks: ['concat', 'uglify', 'watch'],
},
scss: {
files: ['./dev/scss/*.scss'],
tasks: ['sass', 'concat', 'watch'],
options: {
reload: true,
livereload: false,
}
},
html: {
files: ['./dev/**/*.html', 'watch'],
tasks: ['copy', 'watch'],
},
grunt: {
files: ['Gruntfile.js'],
tasks: ['watch'],
},
},
concat: {
js: {
src: ['dev/js/script1.js', 'dev/js/script2.js'],
dest: 'dev/js/script.js',
},
css: {
src: ['./dev/css/nav.css', './dev/css/anim.css', './dev/css/style.css'],
dest: './dist/css/style.css',
},
},
uglify: {
build: {
src: 'dev/js/script.js',
dest: 'dist/js/script.min.js'
}
},
sass: { // Task
dev: { // Target
files: { // Dictionary of files
'./dev/css/style.css': './dev/scss/style.scss', // 'destination': 'source'
},
tasks: ['copy'],
}
},
copy: {
main: {
expand: true,
cwd: './dev/html',
src: '*.html',
dest: './dist/html/'
},
},
});
// Load the plugin that provides the "uglify" task.
grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-contrib-uglify');
grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-contrib-watch');
grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-contrib-concat');
grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-contrib-copy');
grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-contrib-sass');
// Default task(s).
grunt.registerTask('default', ['concat', 'uglify', 'sass', 'copy', 'watch']);
};
I'm still new to npm, grunt etc, and have had this issue using Yeoman as well.
Is there some application that might automatically listen to every port (I'm using Webstorm)?
However, when I close it down and use sublime and a terminal, it keeps on saying every random port is already in use
Looks like you're recursively calling watch..
Take this portion of your gruntfile for example:
watch: { // hey grunt, you now know of a task called 'watch'
....
html: {
files: ['./dev/**/*.html', 'watch'], // here are the files to watch
tasks: ['copy', 'watch'], // and oh, hey, when you run watch, make
// sure to run watch again, recursively, forever
}
I think you can see where this is going. Your port is in use because your watch task is already running when it tries to run again. You don't need to register 'watch' as a task on each subsection of watch. Hope that helps :)
this is the first time I have this problem. I always use pretty much the same gruntfile configurations but at some point, my tasks are just hanging. more precisely they hang when triggered by grunt-contrib-watch. here's my config
watch: {
css: {
files: ['source/css/**/*.scss'],
tasks: ['sass:dist','sass:styleguide_specific_styles', 'postcss', 'shell:patternlab_css'],
options: {
spawn: false,
}
},
styleguide_specific_styles: {
files: ['public/styleguide/css/styleguide-specific.scss'],
tasks: ['sass:styleguide_specific_styles','sass:dist','shell:patternlab_css'],
options: {
spawn: false
}
},
}, //end of watch task
and my sass task
sass: {
styleguide_specific_styles: {
options: {
style: 'nested',
compass: 'true'
},
files: {
'public/styleguide/css/styleguide-specific.css': 'public/styleguide/css/styleguide-specific.scss'
}
},
dist: {
options: {
style: 'nested',
compass: 'true'
},
files: {
'source/css/styleguide.css': 'source/css/styleguide.scss'
}
}
}, //end of sass
When i edit and save an .scss file, i get stuck with this:
But if i stop grunt and just type grunt sass the compilation is successful.
I've tried removing compass, freshly reinstalling all dependencies copying the project elsewhere, updating grunt-contrib-sass , updating the sass gem, changing file permissions, updating nodejs but nothing seems to work. I'm on windows using this gruntfile config on a patternlab-php project.
The same configuration works on dozens of other projects, but not here.
And this is not the only task giving me this problem, all the others do the same.
I want to use browserfy to transform es6 files to es5. But everytime the watch-task is executed I get the error:
Warning: Task "browserfy" not found. Use --force to continue.
I automate the task with the following gruntfile (simplified):
grunt.initConfig({
browserfy: {
dist: {
options: {
transform: [
["babelify", {
loose: "all"
}]
]
},
files: {
"dist/module.js": ["lib/main.js"]
}
}
},
watch: {
lib_test: {
files: '<%= jshint.lib_test.src %>',
tasks: ['jshint:lib_test', 'browserfy'/*, 'qunit'*/]
}
}});
grunt.loadNpmTasks("grunt-browserify");
grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-contrib-watch');
I also used the command
npm install grunt-browserify --save-dev
Solved the problem. I had a typo. It is "browserify.
When I am using grunt command it is showing me following error:
$ grunt
Loading "Gruntfile.js" tasks...ERROR
>> Error: Cannot find module 'load-grunt-tasks'
Warning: Task "default" not found. Use --force to continue.

I already tried - npm install, npm update commands. It would be great if someone can help me with this. Thanks!

Try running:
$ npm install
After that, if you run it and the error still persists or if there's another one, then you probably have not installed ruby, compass or both :)
I had the same issue, the problem for me was in my package.json where I didn't actually install the NPM package needed and it was not automatically installed as previously thought. Try doing
npm install --save-dev load-grunt-tasks
If that doesn't work can you provide the package.json file as well so we can get a little more information.
I was having the same issue you were having, it seems as though the gruntfile is missing a required initialization step.
By changing this:
require('load-grunt-tasks')(grunt);
/**
* Default Task
*/
grunt.hook.push('clean', -9999);
to this:
require('load-grunt-tasks')(grunt);
grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-hook');
/**
* Default Task
*/
grunt.hook.push('clean', -9999);
Adding the grunt.loadNpmTasks call, I'm able to get past that issue. The problem is, now I'm getting
Task "clean" not found. Use --force to continue.
Looking at the rest of the grunt file, i don't see a register task for clean. If I go to the mean.io docs, it looks like the build is failing. Perhaps this is part of why? I think I asked mean-cli for gulp version, that's probably why. I'll delete and take it from the top :)
I think the problem is related to where the npm dependencies are declared and the way Heroku handles them.
In few words, check if the npm packages are as dev dependencies and move them to the dependencies block, as suggested here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/20687098/532912.
I use Grunt for Node with a bunch of packages. For example jsHint, jsDoc, Browserify, Uglify ...
I run the Gruntfile with Watchify and Newer for automation. So far, so good.
The Gruntfile, which works totaly fine:
module.exports = function(grunt) {
grunt.initConfig({
pkg: grunt.file.readJSON('package.json'),
jshint: {
all: ['my/js/files/*.js']
},
jsdoc : {
dist : {
src: ['my/js/files/*.js'],
options: {
destination: 'doc'
}
}
},
browserify: {
'public/js/files/script.js': ['my/js/files/*.js']
},
uglify: {
my_target: {
files: {
'public/js/files/script.js': ['public/js/files/script.js']
}
}
},
htmlmin: {
dist: {
files: {
'public/html/index.html': ['public/html/index.html']
}
}
},
cssmin: {
combine: {
files: {
'public/css/css.min.css': ['my/css/files/*.css']
}
}
},
watch: {
javascript: {
files: ['my/js/files/*.js'],
tasks: ['newer:jshint:all', 'jsdoc', 'browserify', 'uglify']
},
html: {
files: ['public/html/index.html'],
tasks: ['htmlmin']
},
css: {
files: ['public/css/*.css'],
tasks: ['cssmin']
}
}
});
// load plugins
grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-contrib-jshint');
grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-jsdoc');
grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-browserify');
grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-contrib-uglify');
grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-contrib-htmlmin');
grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-contrib-cssmin');
grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-contrib-watch');
grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-newer');
};
It works as far as I only use Newer for jsHint. But if I try the same with jsDoc or Uglify I get Error-Messages.
Example:
I try this ...
tasks: ['newer:jshint:all', 'newer:jsdoc:all', 'browserify', 'uglify']
instead of ...
tasks: ['newer:jshint:all', 'jsdoc', 'browserify', 'uglify']
I get Error-Messages:
Running "newer:jsdoc:all" (newer) task
Warning: Cannot read property 'files' of undefined Use --force to continue.
Aborted due to warnings.
Why does it work for jsHint but not for the rest? Has anybody an idea? Would much appreciate some Hints!
Kind regards
the target of your jshint task is all, so newer:jshint:all is correct.
your jsdoc target is dist, so you have to use this target: newer:jsdoc:dist
for you it is even easier, you only have one target per task (only your watch task has multiple targets) so you could only do it like this:
['newer:jshint', 'newer:jsdoc', 'browserify', 'uglify']
