adding plugins to assemble options causes task to hang

[adamwong246]

    assemble: {
      options: {
        layout: '<%= config.src %>/layouts/default.hbs',
        plugins: ['assemble-middleware-permalinks', 'assemble-middleware-contextual']
      },

      blog: {
        options: {
          permalinks: {
            structure: ':title:ext'
          }
        },
        src: ['<%= config.src %>/blog/*/*.hbs'],
        dest: './build'
      }
    },

Anytime I add any plugins to the options, the task simply hangs forever. Running "assemble:blog" (assemble) task

@adamwong246 which version of assemble are you using? We had some issues with one of the versions of permalinks and marked.js that caused the hanging. Will you post your package.json?

[adamwong246]

as I bang my head against my keyboard, I realize that I'm using 4.x. Should noticed the very first line in the docs which state quite clearly that this plugin does not work with assemble. 4.x Though, installing and running Assemble 5.0 is running into an entirely different issue, which I will open on the https://github.com/assemble/assemble/

[jonschlinkert]

sorry @adamwong246, this is totally our messup. thanks for reporting it

[adamwong246]

Oh really? I don't understand... what was the root of the problem?

[jonschlinkert]

no I just mean that the way we started the transition to v0.5.0, although with good intent, we thought that v0.5.0 would be released faster but now we have repos that need v0.5.0 and it's not even released yet. wtf? however, I think we'll be making up for it soon... :-)

[adamwong246]

oh cool. So, is there an eta on 5.0? Futhermore, whats the best way to run 0.5.0? I was able to install the 0.5.0 branch with npm install "git://github.com/assemble/assemble.git#v0.5.0" --save-dev however Grunt is reporting that assemble is not installed.

If you'd like to use assemble 0.5 you should use grunt-assemble, but as @jonschlinkert pointed out, it's still in development.

[adamwong246]

so that is the difference between https://github.com/assemble/assemble and https://github.com/assemble/grunt-assemble?

[doowb]

yes, the next version of assemble is just a node library so we can use it in other types of things like grunt and gulp or just in a normal javascript file.
