Grunt force watch?

Question

I am running compass on grunt watch. I want grunt watch to always run tasks when it is initiated. I am calling it a force run but it might be called something else. Thank you in advance for solution.

Answer 1

register a task to call the compass task before calling watch.

grunt.registerTask('dev', [ 'compass:dev', 'watch' ]);

to run from the command line just do

$ grunt dev

I'm using grunt-compass and it works fine.
