Cannot read property 'dest' of undefined

willsoto commented 10 years ago

Using the following config:

plato: {
    options: {
        jshint : grunt.file.readJSON('.jshintrc')
    },
    files: {
        'report': ['src/js/**/*.js', 'src/js/*.js']
    }
}

I get the following error:

Cannot read property 'dest' of undefined

This is the verbose output:

Running "plato:files" (plato) task
Verifying property plato.files exists in config...OK
File: [no files]
Options: jshint={"bitwise":true,"curly":true,"eqeqeq":true,"force":true,"freeze":true,"immed":true,"indent":4,"maxdepth":4,"smarttabs":true,"trailing":true,"undef":true,"unused":false,"globals":{"browser":true,"jQuery":true,"define":true,"console":true,"$":true,"_":true,"Mustache":true,"d3":true,"require":true,"setTimeout":true,"window":true,"moment":true,"confirm":true,"document":true,"ga":true}}, complexity={"newmi":true}

Using grunt v0.4.2

Adding a task name actually resolves this problem, for whatever reason. Not sure if this is the intended behavior though. If it is, feel free to close.

That's intended and is grunt usage for multitasks. In the first example, it was trying to run a subtask 'files' which didn't have the appropriate configuration.
