Is there a way to tell grunt which grunt.js file to use?
I have an f:\\a\\b\\tools
folder that contains grunt.cmd, node.exe,...
, my actual web app with GruntFile.js
and all the local node_modules
is in f:\\a\\c\\my_app
Running grunt from a\\c\\my_app
works fine but trying to run grunt from some other folder say a does not seem to work. I am new to grunt and may be I am missing something obvious.
f:\a>grunt --config c\GruntFile.js
grunt-cli: The grunt command line interface. (v0.1.6)
Fatal error: Unable to find local grunt.
If you're seeing this message, either a Gruntfile wasn't found or grunt hasn't been installed locally to your project. For more information about installing and configuring grunt, please see the Getting Started guide:
You can set two parameters --base
and --gruntfile
From grunt --help
:
--base
Specify an alternate base path. By default, all file paths are relative to the Gruntfile. (grunt.file.setBase) *
--gruntfile
Specify an alternate Gruntfile. By default, grunt looks in the current or parent directories for the nearest Gruntfile.js or Gruntfile.coffee file.
So, you can execute:
grunt --base c\my_app --gruntfile c\my_app\GruntFile.js mytask
Since grunt 1.3 you can omit --gruntfile
.
So, instead of
grunt --base c\\my_app --gruntfile c\\my_app\\GruntFile.js mytask
you can just
grunt --base c\\my_app mytask
(and --base
can be replaced with -b
)
I'll advise you to run it from your app directory because the modules are installed into nodes_modules, etc. you must move to your app directory and run grunt:
cd f:
cd a\c\my_app
grunt {yourTasks}
