I'm new in using Grunt tool, I was doing the steps like the video said, but i faced some errors and started from the whole beginning again, but now i'm facing this issue, when i type the command "grunt" in the CMD in the directory of the project folder i get everything good, but there is no JavaScript file created in the distribution folder directory "dist/scripts", and even the Uglify is not generated.
In the video after the instructor typed the command grunt a JS file created in dist/scripts directory with name "main.6c5adb2140e008f7bb85.js", and css file created in dist/styles directory with name "main.d1901e133950f2e3aeae.css", and also in his terminal it was written replaced 1 reference to assets and Uglify generated like in the picture:
Instead i get replaced 0 references to assets and the uglify is not generated:
I did all the installation command that in the video by order, and i created all the files (package.json, Gruntfile.js, app.js, .jshintrc) after that i added the usemin to the require jit-grunt and added it to the registerTask. Here's the Gruntfile.js source code:
'use strict';
module.exports = function (grunt) {
// Time how long tasks take. Can help when optimizing build times
require('time-grunt')(grunt);
// Automatically load required Grunt tasks
require('jit-grunt')(grunt, {
useminPrepare: 'grunt-usemin'
});
// Define the configuration for all the tasks
grunt.initConfig({
pkg: grunt.file.readJSON('package.json'),
// Make sure code styles are up to par and there are no obvious mistakes
jshint: {
options: {
jshintrc: '.jshintrc',
reporter: require('jshint-stylish')
},
all: {
src: [
'Gruntfile.js',
'app/scripts/{,*/}*.js'
]
}
},
useminPrepare: {
html: 'app/menu.html',
options: {
dest: 'dist'
}
},
// Concat
concat: {
options: {
separator: ';'
},
// dist configuration is provided by useminPrepare
dist: {}
},
// Uglify
uglify: {
// dist configuration is provided by useminPrepare
dist: {}
},
cssmin: {
dist: {}
},
// Filerev
filerev:{
options: {
encoding: 'utf8',
algorithm: 'md5',
length: 20
},
release: {
// filerev: release hashes(md5) all assets (images, js and css)
// in dist directory
files: [{
src: [
'dist/scripts/*.js',
'dist/styles/*.css',
]
}]
}
},
// Usemin
// Replace all assets with their revved version in html and css files.
// options.assetDirs contains the directories for finding the assets
// according to their relative paths
usemin: {
html: ['dist/*.html'],
css: ['dist/styles/*.css'],
options: {
assetsDirs: ['dist', 'dist/styles']
}
},
copy: {
dist: {
cwd: 'app',
src: [ '**','!styles/**/*.css','!scripts/**/*.js' ],
dest: 'dist',
expand: true
},
fonts: {
files: [
{
//for bootstrap fonts
expand: true,
dot: true,
cwd: 'bower_components/bootstrap/dist',
src: ['fonts/*.*'],
dest: 'dist'
}, {
//for font-awesome
expand: true,
dot: true,
cwd: 'bower_components/font-awesome',
src: ['fonts/*.*'],
dest: 'dist'
}
]
}
},
clean: {
build: {
src: [ 'dist/']
}
}
});
grunt.registerTask('build', [
'clean',
'jshint',
'useminPrepare',
'concat',
'cssmin',
'uglify',
'copy',
'filerev',
'usemin'
]);
grunt.registerTask('default',['build']);
};
Need help please !!
