I'm new in using Grunt tool, I was doing the steps like the video said, but i faced some errors and started from the whole beginning again, but now i'm facing this issue, when i type the command "grunt" in the CMD in the directory of the project folder i get everything good, but there is no JavaScript file created in the distribution folder directory "dist/scripts", and even the Uglify is not generated.
In the video after the instructor typed the command grunt a JS file created in dist/scripts directory with name "main.6c5adb2140e008f7bb85.js", and css file created in dist/styles directory with name "main.d1901e133950f2e3aeae.css", and also in his terminal it was written replaced 1 reference to assets and Uglify generated like in the picture:
Instead i get replaced 0 references to assets and the uglify is not generated:
I did all the installation command that in the video by order, and i created all the files (package.json, Gruntfile.js, app.js, .jshintrc)
after that i added the usemin to the require jit-grunt
and added it to the registerTask. Here's the Gruntfile.js source code:
'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, {
useminPrepare: 'grunt-usemin'
});
// 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'
]
}
},
useminPrepare: {
html: 'app/menu.html',
options: {
dest: 'dist'
}
},
// Concat
concat: {
options: {
separator: ';'
},
// dist configuration is provided by useminPrepare
dist: {}
},
// Uglify
uglify: {
// dist configuration is provided by useminPrepare
dist: {}
},
cssmin: {
dist: {}
},
// Filerev
filerev:{
options: {
encoding: 'utf8',
algorithm: 'md5',
length: 20
},
release: {
// filerev: release hashes(md5) all assets (images, js and css)
// in dist directory
files: [{
src: [
'dist/scripts/*.js',
'dist/styles/*.css',
]
}]
}
},
// Usemin
// Replace all assets with their revved version in html and css files.
// options.assetDirs contains the directories for finding the assets
// according to their relative paths
usemin: {
html: ['dist/*.html'],
css: ['dist/styles/*.css'],
options: {
assetsDirs: ['dist', 'dist/styles']
}
},
copy: {
dist: {

Need help please !!
it's look like there is no mistake in the commands that 've wrote but the mistake here is the name of the html in my project folder is not the same name which is "menu.html" and i wrote it in Gruntfile "meun.html" that's why it doesn't create the js & css file !!
I am having this problem and unable to find any answer which fix the problem.
I have created small Angularjs code with grunt build system.
Bower.json
http://pastebin.com/8AScfd7d
Gruntfile.js
http://pastebin.com/e0d7QLGG
log.txt (grunt --force)
http://pastebin.com/MYk9iR53
index.html
http://pastebin.com/B48w0Z58
using grunt --force command to build.
When I run the build it does not show any errors in console and under netowek tab all script loads fine but nothing happens. If I replace the minified script tag (my custom code) with the source script it start working.
Running out of ideas what could be wrong.
Replaced ngMin with ngAnnotate in Gruntfile.js and also added 'ngAnnotate:dist' in grunt build task.
/*ngmin: {
dist: {
files: [{
expand: true,
cwd: '.tmp/concat/scripts',
src: '*.js',
dest: '.tmp/concat/scripts'
}]
}
},*/
ngAnnotate: {
dist: {
files: [
{
expand: true,
cwd: '.tmp/concat/scripts',
src: '*.js',
dest: '.tmp/concat/scripts'
}
]
}
}
I'm trying to run an angular app with a Grunt server, and when I serve it up and navigate to it, the only thing it is displaying is "cannot GET/".
I am working on this app and it is my responsibility to get it to run for testing.
I looked in the gruntfile, and the 'base' option is set to 'public', which I can't find a corresponding folder to anywhere in the directory.
grunt.initConfig({
connect: {
server: {
options: {
port: 3001,
base: 'public',
keepalive: true
}
}
There are also a few instances of public cropping up later in the file, for instance:
templates: {
files: [{
expand: true,
cwd: '<%= app.templates %>/',
src: ['**/*.html'],
dest: 'public/'
}]
I don't know what to do!
I did try to change the base option to where the index.html file is located, and I stopped getting the "cannot GET/", but then the angular bindings were not working.
I build a Angular App with Yo angular-genertor,
I was building the app with Grunt Build fine, then I added Bootstrap 3 and also npm install grunt-bower-install
I added these lines to the Grunt file
module.exports = function (grunt) {
require('load-grunt-tasks')(grunt);
require('time-grunt')(grunt);
//ADDED THIS LINE
grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-bower-install');
grunt.initConfig({
yeoman: {
// configurable paths
app: require('./bower.json').appPath || 'app',
dist: 'dist'
},
//ADDED THESE LINES
'bower-install': {
target: {
src: [
'app/index.html'
],
}
},
I have removed these line however!
Now Grunt Build is throwing this error
Running "bowerInstall:app" (bowerInstall) task
Warning: Cannot read property 'main' of undefined Use --force to continue.
Aborted due to warnings.
I do know what to do or even where to start?
In my yeoman generated project this task looks like:
'bower-install': {
app: {
html: '<%= yeoman.app %>/index.html',
ignorePath: '<%= yeoman.app %>/'
}
},
In newer version instead of html uses src:
'bowerInstall': {
app: {
src: ['<%= yeoman.app %>/index.html'],
ignorePath: '<%= yeoman.app %>/'
}
},
Maybe you adapt it to your case. Though i think it should work without changes.
But you have almost the same, so maybe the problem in another place.
I found the answer,
I simply needed to run Bower Install,
When you run grunt to build the app, the vendor.css file created in the dist folder 'mis-links' the glyphicons as /app/bower_componenets/.../glyphicons-... instead of ../fonts/glyphicons-...
In Gruntfile.js comment out the following line to fix this issue:
cssmin: {
options: {
//root: '<%= yeoman.app %>'
}
}
