I have a directory lib/grunt-tasks parallel to my Gruntfile.js. It has a zip.js file in it (loaded via loadTasks). It requires the node-archiver and fs modules.
For some reason, although the .zip file is created, it contains nothing after archive.finalize(), and never fires the entry or error events.
I also don't get any errors requiring the 2 modules, so I don't believe there's any issue for the task to see the parent node_modules directory at the root of my project.
I can run a similar JS script from the command-line successfully: node lib/grunt-tasks/test.js ...with hard-coded paths. I wonder if there's something fundamental I'm missing about Grunt and/or Node. I'm just surprised I'm not seeing any errors though.
Any help is appreciated.
/**

var archiver = require('archiver');
var fs = require('fs');
module.exports = function (grunt) {
grunt.registerMultiTask('zip', function(){
// Load in task config and options
var config = this.data;
var data = config.data;
// Loop through all key messages and generate their .zip files
data.key_messages.forEach(function(message){
var srcDir = config.cwd + "/" + message.path;
var outputFile = config.cwd + '/' + data.project.id + '_' + message.id + '.zip';
// Create an actual file stream to output data to
var output = fs.createWriteStream( outputFile );
// Instantiate new archiver object
var archive = archiver('zip');
archive.on('error', function(err){
console.log('error:', err);
});
archive.on('entry', function(a, b, c){
console.log('entry:', a, b, c);
});
archive.pipe( output );
grunt.log.writeln('Compressing to ' + outputFile.cyan);
archive.bulk([
{cwd: srcDir, src: ['**/*'], expand: true}
]);
archive.finalize();
});
});
}
