gruntjs - Setting up grunt to launch & live reload browser (with minimal plugins) -


i'm setting web project , want use grunt automation , workflow. have sass, jshint, jsdocs, minifiers playing nice having no end of trouble launch & reload of browser grunt shell.

i have 2 conditions i'd meet in doing this:

no browser plugins. (i want work straight out of repo; "npm install", "grunt") keep npm modules minimum. (ideally grunt-contrib-watch & grunt-contrib-connect)

this config 2:

connect: {     options: {         base: 'app/',         port: '8888',         livereload: true     } },  watch: {     all: {         files: [             'gruntfile.js',             'app/index.html',             'app/partials/*.html',             'app/styles/sass/*.scss',             'app/scripts/*.js'         ],         tasks: ['default'],         options: {             livereload: true         }     } } 

in testing have tried:

connect: {     options: {         base: "app/",         port: 8888,         open: {             target: 'app/index.html'         }     } } 

watch tells me when files change, running default task (or of sub-tasks it's made from) not launch browser/page , there seems no reload.

i had success grunt-open, i'm lead believe should achievable grunt-contrib-watch after version 0.6.0 ?

----- additional i'm unsure if grunt-contrib-connect being run...

grunt.registertask('serve',   ['sass', 'connect', 'watch']); grunt.registertask('default', ['jshint', 'serve']); 

results in following, don't see timings connect, i'm guessing task not measured because runs in parallel, happening?

execution time  loading tasks  12ms  ▇▇▇▇▇ 10% jshint:src     78ms  ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ 62% sass:all       11ms  ▇▇▇▇▇ 9% watch          24ms  ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ 19% total 126ms 

well, not sure if it, update see connect wouldn't ever run because have no target specified:

connect: {     server: {  // try adding block         options: {             base: 'app/',             port: '8888',             livereload: true         }     } }, 

otherwise, looks correct, explicitly state port want live reload:

watch: {     all: {         files: [             // ...         ],         tasks: ['default'],         options: {             livereload: 8888  // changed...         }     } }
