grunt-contrib-watch没有看到新文件

Question

I wanted to post here before resurrecting bugs from the dead on their github, is there anything malformed with my files section?

The Watch section is as follows:

watch: {
    files: ['includes/js/source/_*.js'],
    tasks: 'dev',
},

a grunt --verbose gives me the following:

Running "watch" task
Waiting...
Verifying property watch exists in config...OK
Watching includes/js/source/_broken.js for changes.
Watching includes/js/source/_hi.js for changes.
Watching includes/js/source/_jquery_ui_1.10.3_autocomplete.js for changes.
Watching includes/js/source/_menu_toggle.js for changes.
Watching includes/js/source/_thisisatest.js for changes.
Watching includes/js/source for changes.

System Specs:

grunt-cli v0.1.13

Running just the dev task appears to be working as expected

Done, without errors.

Answer 1

This turned out to be an issue within Vagrant not Grunt.

The fix was to uninstall Node & npm on my vagrant box and installed everything on my mac proper.
