Grunt task results in recursion when the task name is "sass"

mohsentaleb commented 4 years ago

Given the following task description in my GruntFile:

const sass = require("node-sass");

module.exports = function (grunt) {
  grunt.initConfig({
   sass: {
      options: {
        implementation: sass,
        //sourceMap: true,
      },
      dist: {
        files: {
          "css/custom-bootstrap.css": "css/scss/custom-bootstrap.scss",
        },
      },
    },
  });

  grunt.loadNpmTasks("grunt-sass");

  // Default task(s).
  grunt.registerTask("sass", ["sass"]);
  grunt.registerTask("default", [""]);
};

when I ran grunt sass , it took forever and then in verbose mode (grunt sass --verbose) I realized it's stuck in a recursion:

λ grunt sass --verbose

Command-line options: --verbose, --gruntfile=c:\wwwRoot\template\Gruntfile.js

As soon as I rename my task to something else, problem is solved!

This should be reported on the Grunt issue tracker.
