I'm in a project (in laravel 4.2) where they made a mega Gruntfile.js, so I decided to organize and create a Gruntfile.js for each set of project assets.
The problem: I do not want to have to give a 'npm install' for each subproject (because for each subproject I have a Gruntfile.js and a package.json), then I tried to force the node_modules to read in the root , with:
module.exports = function(grunt) { "use strict";
//força path do node_modules (pra nao ter que baiar novamente)
grunt.file.setBase('../../../');
//força a leitura das dependencias do package.json principal
require("matchdep").filterDev("grunt-*").forEach(grunt.loadNpmTasks);
grunt.initConfig({
pkg: grunt.file.readJSON("package.json"), //meu atual
...
});
}
This function worked, or else, when I force the dir into 'node_modules' it also reads Gruntfile.js from the root and then ends up performing some unwanted tasks.
Does anyone have a light?
