I am wiring up an automated release script for my application with several grunt tasks. Basically, I use
grunt.file.readJSON('package.son', {encoding: 'utf8'});
... to extract the version and increment it, and then I use
fs.writeFileSync('package.json', JSON.stringify(packageJson, null, 2), 'utf8');
to write it back. Straight forward.
Another task has to tag the git-commit with the new, incremented, version number and reads the file again. At this point the task still reads the old version. (if I take a look into the file manually later then there is the new version, so increment and write works)
Whats going wrong here? Is that a race condition or are grunt tasks executed asynchronously somehow?
