Here is my gruntfile.js
module.exports = function(grunt) {
// Load grunt tasks automatically
require('load-grunt-tasks')(grunt);
grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-contrib-watch');
grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-serve');
var pkg = grunt.file.readJSON('package.json');
var options = {
paths: {
app: 'app',
assets: 'app/assets',
dist: 'app/dist',
distAssets: 'app/dist/assets',
html: 'app/html',
htmlTmp: '.tmp/htmlsnapshot',
htmlAssets: 'app/html/assets',
index: 'app/dist/index.html',
indexDev: 'app/index.dev.html',
indexTmp: '.tmp/html/index.html'
},
watch: {
js: {
files: ['Gruntfile.js', 'app/assets/js/**/*.js'],
tasks: ['jshint'],
options: {
livereload: true
}
},
css: {

'app/assets/css/**/*.scss'
],
tasks: ['sass'],
options: {
livereload: true
}
},
livereload: {
options: {
livereload: true
},

'app/assets/img/{,*/}*.{png,jpg,jpeg,gif,webp,svg}'
]

// Change this to '0.0.0.0' to access the server from outside.
hostname: 'localhost',
livereload: 35729
}
},
// debug while developing
jshint: {
all: ['Gruntfile.js', 'app/js/**/*.js']
},
pkg: pkg
};
// Load grunt configurations automatically
var configs = require('load-grunt-configs')(grunt, options);
// Define the configuration for all the tasks
grunt.initConfig(configs);
grunt.registerTask('bumper', ['bump-only']);
grunt.registerTask('css', ['sass']);
grunt.registerTask('default', [
'sass',
'copy:dev',
'connect',
'watch',
'serve'
]);
grunt.registerTask('shared', [
'clean:demo',
'copy:demo',
'sass',
'ngconstant',
'useminPrepare',
'concat:generated',
'cssmin:generated',
'uglify:generated',
'filerev',
'usemin',
'imagemin',
'usebanner'
]);
grunt.registerTask('demo', [
'shared',
'copy:postusemin',
'grep:demo'
]);
grunt.registerTask('dist', [
'shared',
'copy:postusemin',
'copy:dist',
'grep:dist',
'html',
'compress',
'copy:postusemin',
'grep:demo',
]);
grunt.registerTask('html', [
'clean:html',
'copy:html',
'concat:html',
'uglify:html',
'cssmin:html',
]);

i found a solution for my problem to open automatically the browser i added the parameter livereload to connect object in my Gruntfile configuration
connect: {
options: {
livereload: true,
hostname: 'localhost',
base: 'app',
port: 9000
},
proxies: [
{
context: [
'/_ah',
'/secured',
'/oauth2login',
'/oauth2callback'
],
host: 'localhost',
port: 8080,
https: false,
changeOrigin: false,
xforward: false
}
],
livereload: {
options: {
open: true
}
}
}
now the browser opens automatically
