I want to watch my coffee and grunt files at the same time. When I just watch coffee files there is no problem but when I add a jade watcher to my file the watcher only compiles once and eventhough there is an update, watcher is not compiling those new updates.
Any help is kindly appreciated:
Here is when there is just coffee watcher in my system:
Compiles whenever there is an update at a coffee file: Gruntfile.coffee
module.exports = (grunt) ->
grunt.initConfig
pkg : grunt.file.readJSON "package.json"
coffee :
compile :
options : sourceMap: on
files :
['dist/client/js/main.js': 'client/app/scripts/app.coffee',
'server.js': 'server.coffee']
watch :
coffee :
options : atBegin: yes
files : [ 'client/scripts/*.coffee',
'client/scripts/controllers/*.coffee',
'server.coffee']
tasks : ['coffee', 'jade']
grunt.loadNpmTasks 'grunt-contrib-coffee'
grunt.loadNpmTasks 'grunt-contrib-watch'
grunt.registerTask 'default', ['watch']
The question is, why does the watcher functions just at startup but not anymore?
Compiles just at startup: Gruntfile.coffee
module.exports = (grunt) ->
grunt.initConfig
pkg : grunt.file.readJSON "package.json"
coffee :
compile :
options : sourceMap: on
files :
['dist/client/js/main.js': 'client/app/scripts/app.coffee',
'server.js': 'server.coffee']
jade:
compile:
options:
data:
debug: false
files:
['dist/client/index.html': ['client/app/views/index.jade'] ]
watch :
coffee :
options : atBegin: yes
files : [ 'client/scripts/*.coffee',
'client/scripts/controllers/*.coffee',
'server.coffee']
tasks : ['coffee', 'jade']
grunt.loadNpmTasks 'grunt-contrib-coffee'
grunt.loadNpmTasks 'grunt-contrib-jade'
grunt.loadNpmTasks 'grunt-contrib-watch'
grunt.registerTask 'default', ['watch']
Here is my console log out for the command: grunt --verbose
