Sass Disable Source Maps - sass

Is there a way with the new Sass (3.3+) to disable the source maps by default? Right now I keep getting main.css.map (403 Forbidden) when I view inspector. It looks like it gets generated by default, but I would like to disable it.
Any ideas?

The grunt-contrib-sass module accepts a property in 'options' called 'sourcemap'.
grunt.initConfig({
sass: {
dist: {
files: {
'main.css': 'main.scss'
},
options: {
'sourcemap': 'none'
}
}
}
});
Documentation
Setting the value to "none" should prevent the creation of a sourcemap.

The 'sourcemap': 'none' option will no longer be valid as it was true for Ruby SASS which is no longer supported.
Use one of the following ways instead:
options: {
'no-source-map': ''
}
OR
options: {
sourceMap: false
}

Unable to find source files

I've started working on an existing website at work that uses Sass and auto-prefixer with Grunt. I'm not 100% familiar with the files yet, but I don't want to change the structure to avoid breaking anything. The problem I'm having is that no matter what .scss files I edit, it doesn't affect the required .css file. The developers that originally built the site aren't here anymore.
The changes I make either affect file.css or file2.css, and I need to reach file.expanded.css, but there's no mention of this file in the Gruntfile, so it was either removed, or it's being compiled in another way. Obviously, I'm avoiding editing it directly. I'm just unsure if I have enough to figure this out.
In case it helps, here's the Gruntfile:
module.exports = function(grunt){
require("matchdep").filterDev("grunt-*").forEach(grunt.loadNpmTasks);
grunt.initConfig({
pkg: grunt.file.readJSON('package.json'),
sass: {
build: {
files: {
'assets/css/file2.css': 'assets/sass/folder/file2.sass'
}
}
},
autoprefixer: {
build: {
src: 'assets/css/file.css',
dest: 'assets/css/file.css'
}
},
watch: {
css: {
files: ['assets/sass/**'],
tasks: ['buildcss']
}
},
// Browsersync
browserSync: {
dev: {
bsFiles: {
src: [
'assets/css/*.css',
'assets/images/*',
'assets/scripts/*.js',
'**/*.html'
]
},
options: {
watchTask: true,
proxy: "site.dev:8888",
}
}
},
});
grunt.registerTask('default', ['browserSync', 'watch']);
grunt.registerTask('buildcss', ['sass', 'autoprefixer']);
};
You should install a Grunt task for source maps and recompile your CSS. I personally use Gulp so, I'm unsure what the best solution for Grunt might be, but it's a similar set up. When your CSS is compiled with source maps, you'll be able to pinpoint with your inspector where in which partial or SASS file the style declarations are coming from.

Upload external changes not working with GRUNT

I started using gruntjs today. Created all the required files etc.
Here is my Gruntfile.js:
module.exports = function(grunt) {
grunt.initConfig({
pkg: grunt.file.readJSON('package.json'),
concat: {
options: {
separator: "\n"
},
dist: {
src: ['js/lib/*.js','js/main.js'],
dest: 'js/script.js'
}
},
sass: {
dist: {
options: {
style: 'compressed'
},
files: { // Dictionary of files
'css/style.css': 'css/style.scss' // 'destination': 'source'
}
}
},
uglify: {
options: {
sourceMap : true,
mangle : false
},
my_target: {
files: {
'js/script.min.js': ['js/script.js']
}
}
},
watch: {
css: {
files: ['css/*.scss'],
tasks: ['sass']
},
scripts: {
files: ['js/lib/*.js','js/youtube.js','js/main.js'],
tasks: ['concat', 'uglify']
}
}
});
grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-contrib-concat');
grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-contrib-sass');
grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-contrib-uglify');
grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-contrib-watch');
// Default task(s).
grunt.registerTask('default', ['watch']);
};
and it works fine. But there is one little thing in my PHPstorm (running under osx):
GruntJS really makes the changes but they are not uploaded to the server I'm mapped to. I have the Automatic Upload and 'Upload External Changes' checked but still, nothing happens.
Could you somehow help me?
Thanks in advance!
P.s While using the PHPStorm file watchers (scss watcher), the 'Upload External Changes' was working and the files were uploading to server, but after switching to GruntJS the problem occurred.
BTW, File > Synchronize solves the problem, as it reloads the files and then the 'Upload external changes' works, but that's not a very good solution as it's not automatic.
Also, switching the window probably makes PHPStorm synchronize files and this also helps.
Anyway, I'm in search of better solution..
I was using older (v8) version of PHPStorm.
In PHPStorm 10 Problem is solved !!!

Grunt - pass filename variable from command line

I am struggling to understand how I can pass a partial filename from the grunt command line, in order to run a task (from an installed grunt module) on a particular file.
What I want to be able to do is configure a series of tasks to take filename parameter from the command line.
I've tried reworking the final example on this page http://chrisawren.com/posts/Advanced-Grunt-tooling but I'm kind of stabbing in the dark a bit. Thought someone would have a quick answer.
Here is my Gruntfile:
module.exports = function (grunt) {
grunt.initConfig({
globalConfig: globalConfig,
uglify: {
js: {
options: {
mangle: true
},
files: {
'js/<%= globalConfig.file %>.min.js': ['js/<%= globalConfig.file %>.js']
}
}
},
});
// Load tasks so we can use them
grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-contrib-uglify');
grunt.registerTask('go', 'Runs a task on a specified file', function (fileName){
globalConfig.file = fileName;
grunt.task.run('uglify:js');
});
};
I attempt to run it from the command line like this:
grunt go:app
to target js/app.js
I get this error:
Aborted due to warnings.
roberts-mbp:150212 - Grunt Tasks robthwaites$ grunt go:app
Loading "Gruntfile.js" tasks...ERROR
>> ReferenceError: globalConfig is not defined
Warning: Task "go:app" not found. Use --force to continue.
Thanks
you can use grunt.option.
your grunt register task will look like this.
> grunt.option('fileName'); grunt.registerTask('go', 'Runs a task on a
> specified file', function (){
> grunt.task.run('uglify:js');
> });
your grunt configuration will be
module.exports = function (grunt) {
var fileName=grunt.option('fileName');
grunt.initConfig({
uglify: {
js: {
options: {
mangle: true
},
files: {
'js/fileName.min.js': ['js/fileName.js']
}
}
},
});
command to run the task from terminal:
$ grunt go --fileName='xyzfile'
I the end I was able to accomplish what I wanted like this, but not sure if this is a standard way.
What I was failing to do was declare the globalConfig variable globally first, so that I could redefine it from the Terminal as I ran my grunt task.
Here is an example. When working with HTML emails I need to:
Process my sass files to css (grunt-contrib-sass)
Run an autoprefixer on the resulting css (grunt-autoprefixer)
Minify my CSS and remove CSS comments (grunt-contrib-cssmin)
Include my full CSS in a tag the of my html file (using grunt-include-replace)
Finally, run premailer on the file to inline all styles (grunt-premailer)
The point is, if I am working on several different HTMl emails in the same project, I need to be able to run all these tasks on html files one-by-one, as needed. The Gruntfile below allows me to do this.
What this does:
If you enter into terminal grunt It will simply run the sass task, which processes all sass files - no file parameter needed from Terminal.
However, if I wish to run a series of processes on a single html file, I enter grunt process:fileName with fileName being the name of the html file without the .html extension.
You will notice that the only tasks that require the fileName are actually include-replace and premailer. However, I still want to run al the other CSS cleanup tasks prior to targetting my chosen file.
The key is:
Declaring the global variable
Load the globalConfig variables into the grunt.initConfig
Use the grunt variable declaration where needed in your tasks
register your custom task, with the fileName variable being used as a paramater.
Hope that helps someone.
module.exports = function (grunt) {
var globalConfig = {
file: 'index' // this is the default value, for a single project.
}
grunt.initConfig({
pkg: grunt.file.readJSON('package.json'),
// load the globalConfig variables
globalConfig: globalConfig,
sass: {
dev: {
files: [{
expand: true,
cwd: 'scss',
src: ['*.scss'],
dest: 'css',
ext: '.css'
}]
}
},
cssmin: {
options: {
keepSpecialComments: 0,
keepBreaks: true,
advanced: false
},
target: {
files: [{
expand: true,
cwd: 'css',
src: '*.css',
dest: 'css',
ext: '.css'
}]
}
},
autoprefixer: {
css: {
src: "css/*.css"
}
},
includereplace: {
your_target: {
options: {
prefix: '\\/\\* ',
suffix: ' \\*\\/',
},
files: {
'inline/<%= globalConfig.file %>-inline.html': ['<%= globalConfig.file %>.html']
}
}
},
premailer: {
main: {
options: {
verbose: true,
preserveStyles: true,
},
src: 'inline/<%= globalConfig.file %>-inline.html',
dest: 'inline/<%= globalConfig.file %>-inline.html'
}
},
});
grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-contrib-sass');
grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-autoprefixer');
grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-include-replace');
grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-premailer');
grunt.registerTask('default', 'sass');
grunt.registerTask('process', 'Runs all processing tasks on a specific file to produce inlined file', function (fileName) {
globalConfig.file = fileName;
grunt.task.run('sass', 'autoprefixer', 'cssmin', 'includereplace', 'premailer');
});
}
EDIT: Obviously at the moment this accepts only one parameter I beleive. In other use cases the grunt.option version above could give more functionality, being able to submit several parameters in one command. I will continue to experiment with grunt.option if I find the need to do this.

Sass source maps with minified file (grunt)

Using Sass with sourcemaps works fine for me with unminified CSS, but using my minified CSS it doesn't.
I'm guessing this might be because the references first get's built to the compiled css file, but then the minified version changes everything and references then fail, could that be it? If so, I still don't know what to do about it. Any help to find a solution would be much appreciated.
This is in my last line of my main *scss-file:
/*# sourceMappingURL=mytheme-full.css.map */
I'm thinking; If I just change to the following, it should work. But no!
/*# sourceMappingURL=mytheme-full-min.css.map */
This is from my Gruntfile.js:
cssmin: {
build: {
files: {
'sites/all/themes/mytheme/css/mytheme-full-min.css': 'sites/all/themes/mytheme/css/mytheme-full.css'
}
}
},
sass: {
dist: {
options: {
sourcemap: 'auto'
},
files: {
'sites/all/themes/mytheme/css/mytheme-full.css': 'sites/all/themes/mytheme/sass/mytheme-full.scss'
}
}
},
To date, grunt-contrib-cssmin doesn't support sourcemaps (see here and here).
However, both grunt-contrib-sass and grunt-autoprefixer support sourcemaps, so your best bet is probably to enable sourcemaps on those and use the unminified css for development and debugging. To enable sourcemaps in autoprefixer, just set:
options: {
map: true
}

Grunt - DSS Plugin

I'm trying to get this Grunt plugin to work:
https://npmjs.org/package/dss
This documentation plugin ironically seems to be lacking proper documentation. Can someone help me out by giving me an example of something that worked for them. The main thing that's screwing me up is the "your_target" property. Not sure what's suppose to go in there.
Say I have a SASS file in the following path from the root directory:
sass/main.scss
What would my ouput be by default? And where would it output to? Also what format does it ouput to?
grunt.initConfig({
DSS: {
options: {
// Task-specific options go here.
},
your_target: {
// Target-specific file lists and/or options go here.
},
},
})
Is "your_target" property the path to my sass file or the path to the documentation file I'm trying to create? Would it be defined like this?
...
your_target: {
// Target-specific file lists and/or options go here.
sass: "sass/main.scss"
},
...
I don't know what the property name should be. :(
dss: {
docs: {
options: {
},
files: {
'api/': 'css/**/*.{css,scss,sass,less,styl}'
}
}
}
