I am adding a new server task to my existing gruntfile which contained the only task to build the content into minified files. I need to add the server/serve task. The goal of the server task for me is to connect to the middleware proxies to redirect to some other url when /web/*
is encountered. I Keep getting the following error :
Running "server" task
Warning: Task "connect:server" not found. Use --force to continue.
Any help will be greatly appreciated!
module.exports = function (grunt) {
grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-connect-proxy');
grunt.initConfig({
connect: {
server: {
options: {
port: 8080,
hostname: 'localhost',
middleware: function (connect, options) {
var proxy = require('grunt-connect-proxy/lib/utils').proxyRequest;
return [
// Include the proxy first
proxy,
// Serve static files.
connect.static(options.base),
// Make empty directories browsable.
connect.directory(options.base)
];
}
},
proxies: [
{
context: '/web/*',
host: 'blah.com',
port: 8080,
https: true,
secure: false,
changeOrigin: true
}
]
}
},
pkg: grunt.file.readJSON('package.json'),
});
grunt.registerTask('server', function (target) {
grunt.task.run([
'configureProxies:server',
'connect:server'
]);
});

I think that you are missing dependency on grunt-contrib-connect and call to grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-contrib-connect');
. grunt-connect-proxy just adds proxy middleware on top of it.
