Grunt tasks running indefinitely


I have installed grunt and trying the grunt-react and grunt-contrib-imagemin tasks. I have setup the following Gruntfile.js.

module.exports = function(grunt) {

  grunt.initConfig ({
    imagemin: {
      dynamic: {
        files: [{
          expand: true,
          cwd: 'public',
          src: ['development/images/*.{png,jpg,gif}'],
          dest: 'images'
        }],
        options: {
          cache: false
        }
      }
    },
    react: {
      single_file_output: {
        files: {
          'bundle.jsx': 'login.jsx'
        }
      }
    }
  });

  grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-contrib-imagemin');
  grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-react');

  grunt.registerTask('imagemin', ['imagemin']);
  grunt.registerTask('react', ['react']);
};

From the command line, I start the tasks as grunt react or grunt imagemin. After passing a --verbose CLI flag, Grunt reports that all checks were OK. Yet both the tasks runs indefinitely. They never end. Please help me.

Here is my Grunt version info:

grunt-cli v0.1.13
grunt v0.4.5

Here is the command line output:

Running "react" task

This is repeatedly printed with the --verbose flag.


Solution

  • I was able to get it work, by changing the following:

    grunt.registerTask('reactify', ['react']);
    

    I changed the name of the tasks. I think due to a cyclic nature of the internal design, it causes indefinite execution.
