Executes a Grunt file using the given inputs as parameters. You can specify which gruntfile, tasks and targets, additional parameters and which version of Node you want to execute the grunt file with. Review the special considerations if you are using the automatic install feature. See installNodeJS to install node prior to execution of this operation.
Inputs
Input Name | Input Code | Required | Description |
---|---|---|---|
Node Executable Path |
| No | An absolute path to a Node executable(grunt and grunt-cli package must be installed). If not provided node must be on PATH. |
Working Directory |
| No | The working directory where the Grunt commands will be executed. This path can be relative or absolute. If relative the path will be relative to the temp directory. If not provided directory containing package.json will be used. |
Grunt File |
| No | Absolute or relative path to Grunt file. Relative path will be |
considered inside working directory. If not provided this value will be defaulted to gruntfile.js. | |||
Tasks |
| No | Comma |
separated list of grunt tasks to run. If not provided the default task will run. You can specify targets with |
Task:Target |
. | |||
Additional Parameters |
| No | Additional arguments to pass to Grunt. For example, --force, --verbose, or --stack. The Grunt file parameter (--gruntfile) is not required as it is handled |
with Grunt File input. |
A relative path to a directory containing package.json. This path will be relative to temp directory. If not provided temp directory will be used.
This path is where grunt will be installed if applicable and executed.
This input will be appended to the grunt command as it is entered. | |||
Artifacts to Save |
| No | A relative path to a directory to save as an artifact |
. This path will be relative to |
the working directory. If not provided no artifacts will be saved. Use '.' notation to save the entire |
working directory |
. |
Artifacts
This operation produces artifacts that will be stored in the artifacts repository.
...
This operation will select all available endpoints associated to the environment/instancetarget.
Endpoint Execution
This operation will execute on any one of the selected endpoints and will be random in the determination of which one.
Special Considerations
If Node Executable Path is given FlexDeploy expects that a version of node is installed at this location. An exception will be thrown otherwise. If the Node Executable path is provided this will override the Node version input and Node will not automatically be installed. If neither Node executable path nor Node install version input is provided it is expected that Node is on the PATH. If FlexDeploy installs NodeJS it will be installed at our default location {FLEXDEPLOY_BASE_INSTALL_DIR}/installs/nodejs/{NODE_INSTALL_VERSION} (e.g /var/tmp/flexdeploy/installs/nodejs/v14).
