How to make "watch" task forever false?

I am trying to deploy a static website from bitbucket to Netlify. It fails because "watch" is in waiting mode.

The logs from Netlify:

Done, without errors.
8:38:52 PM: Completed in 60.606s at Fri Dec 08 2017 17:38:43 GMT+0000 (UTC) - Waiting...

My Gruntfile.js configuration is:

watch: {
      options: {
         livereload: true,
         atBegin: true,
         interval: 1000,
         forever: false,
         // spawn: false,
         // interrupt: true,
         // debounceDelay: 3000
        },

Help me to make "watch" task end after building.

Solution

  • As someone mentioned in the comments above, there needs to be some more information in your question about your config.

    There needs to be a build target in the grunt config that does not use the local development server as watch is doing.

    watch: {
  ....
},
build: {
  ....
}

    Also you would need to register the task as in the following command:

    grunt.registerTask('build', ['target1', 'target2']);

    Then the build command in Netlify would be: grunt build rather than the command you are using.
