Is there any way to run same grunt command in Mac and Windows but with different options or arguments?

Question

Lets say there is a grunt command build_release_android as shown below:

cordovacli: {
 .....

    build_release_android: {
                        options: {
                            command: 'build',
                            platforms: ['android'],
                            args: ['--release', "--buildConfig=..//build_android.json"]
                        }
                    }
.....
}

This command can be run in console as grunt cordovacli:build_release_android.

Now in Mac this works fine, but if run same command on Windows console, I have to change path as "--buildConfig=..\build_android.json"

So is there any way to run command without manually doing any change, everytime its run on different platforms

In your gruntfile.js, you can check your environment's operating system and can use whichever arguments are appropriate. For example:

var os = require('os');

...

cordovacli: {
    ...
    build_release_android: {
        options: {
            command: 'build',
            platforms: ['android'],
            args: /^win/.test(os.platform()) ?
                ['--release', '--buildConfig=..\\build_android.json'] :
                ['--release', '--buildConfig=../build_android.json']
        }
    }
    ...
}
