I'm using grunt.js for the first time and I'm having trouble setting up a sass watch. I've successfully installed node.js and grunt and I was able to get it concatinating and minifying all my javascript files into one file. Then I moved onto trying to get it to watch and compile my sass files and I can't figure out why I keep getting this error in my command line (clearly there is a syntax error, but I don't know where it is?
here is my command line error: Mandy at MandysMac in ~/Desktop/Dropbox/WEBSITES/Portfolio/wp-content/themes/mandy_made_this_theme on master* $ grunt
/Users/Mandy/Desktop/Dropbox/WEBSITES/Portfolio/wp-content/themes/mandy_made_this_theme/Gruntfile.js:27
watch: {
^^^^^
Loading "Gruntfile.js" tasks...ERROR
>> SyntaxError: Unexpected identifier
Warning: Task "default" not found. Use --force to continue.
Aborted due to warnings.
Here is my package.json file:
{
"name": "mandy-made-this-theme",
"version": "0.1.0",
"devDependencies": {
"grunt": "~0.4.2",
"grunt-contrib-jshint": "~0.6.3",
"grunt-contrib-nodeunit": "~0.2.0",
"grunt-contrib-uglify": "~0.2.2",
"grunt-contrib-sass": "^0.7.3",
"grunt-contrib-watch": "^0.6.1"
}
}
And most importantly, Here is my grunt file:
module.exports = function(grunt) {
// Project configuration.
grunt.initConfig({
pkg: grunt.file.readJSON('package.json'),
uglify: {
options: {
banner: '/*! <%= pkg.name %> <%= grunt.template.today("yyyy-mm-dd") %> */\n'
},
build: {
src: ['working/jquery-2.1.0.min.js, working/jquery-ui-1.10.4.custom.min.js', 'working/jquery.smooth-scroll.min.js', 'working/isotope.pkgd.min.js', 'working/scripts.js'], //input
dest: 'scripts/build/scripts.min.js' //output
}
},
sass: {
dist: {
options: {
style: 'expanded'
},
files: {
'style.css': 'sass/style.scss'
}
}
}
watch: {
css: {
files: '**/*.scss',
tasks: ['sass'],
options: {
livereload: true,
}
}
}
});
// Load the plugin that provides the "uglify" task.
grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-contrib-uglify');
grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-contrib-sass');
grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-contrib-watch');
// Default task(s).
grunt.registerTask('default',['uglify', 'sass', 'watch']);

You are missing a comma after sass
object
'style.css': 'sass/style.scss'
}
}
}, // added , here
watch: {
css: {
files: '**/*.scss',
