  1. POTrouble using ‘this.files’ in GruntJS Tasks
    text
    copied!<p>Background: So I’m new to writing grunt tasks, so hopefully this isn’t a stupid question.<br> Purpose of my grunt task: Given a file (html / jsp / php / etc) search all the link / script tags, compare the href / src to a key, and replace with the contents of the file. Proposed task configuration:</p> <pre><code>myTask:{ index:{ files:{src:"test/testcode/index.html", dest:"test/testcode/index.html"}, css:[ { file: "/css/some/css/file.css", fileToReplace:"/target/css/file.css" }, { file: "/css/some/css/file2.css", fileToReplace:"/target/css/file2.css" } ], js:[ { file: "/css/some/css/file.css", fileToReplace:”/target/css/file.css" }, { file: "/css/some/css/file2.css", fileToReplace:"/target/css/file2.css" } ] } } </code></pre> <p>Problem: Now, per my understanding, when dealing with files, you should reference the ‘this.files’ object because it handles a bunch of nice things for you, correct? Using intelliJ and the debugger, I see the following when i watch the ‘this.files’ object: <a href="http://i.imgur.com/Gj6iANo.png" rel="nofollow">http://i.imgur.com/Gj6iANo.png</a> What I would expect to see is src and dest to be the same, not dest ===‘src’ and src === undefined.</p> <p>So, What is it that I am missing? Is there some documentation on ‘this.files’ I can read about? I’ve tried setting the files attribute in the target to a number of other formats per grunts spec, none seem to work (for this script, ideally the src / dest would be the same, so the user would just have to enter it once, but i’m not even getting in to that right now.)</p> <p>Thanks for the help</p> <p>EDIT: The underlying issue here is that I was using IntelliJ for debugging. For some reason, when i did a watch on this.files the src var (along with this.fileSrc var ) never was updated. even when I would see other items getting updated when appropriate.</p>
