Can't use `serve` with grunt-contrib-watch #10

In my app, I'm using Stylus to generate CSS. I'd like to have a watch task running that calls cordova prepare when the .styl files change, however the serve command blocks the grunt thread so it never gets to the watch task.

Hi @bryanforbes you mean cordova serve?, that's a the cordova CLI doing that. Try running cordova serve from command line you need to exit with Ctrl+C. Nothing that the this grunt plugin can do. I think you should be able to implement a watch and just run prepare. Do not run cordova serve, if you want to run serve run serve in another terminal window or use a grunt plugin like contrib-connect with livereload feature.
