10 years ago Thanks for the report. Your coffeelint config is using the "files object format" for specifying dest:src pairs. With this format, the object property name is the dest file and the property value is your src pattern(s). So you are saying take the all source files in **/*.coffee and map them to the destination file named src.
Obviously the the coffeelint task doesn't produce any destination files (so a file named src is never created), but the newer task doesn't know that. The newer task looks at this files configuration and decides it needs to use all source files in the dest:src pair because the dest file (named src in your case`) doesn't yet exist.
So there are two alternative configurations for your coffeelint task that should work. I'll provide them in JavaScript here because it should be useful to more people who find this ticket in the future.
Configuring tasks that don't generate dest files:
-
grunt.initConfig({ coffeelint: { app: { src: '**/*.coffee' } } // ... additional task config }); -
grunt.initConfig({ coffeelint: { app: { files: [{src: '**/*.coffee'}] } } // ... additional task config });

Hello, I tried to set up your module with the coffeelint task in the same way as it's in your example for jshint.
It looks like this:
However, when I change a coffescript file, it automatically execute the coffeelint task for all coffeescript files in the whole project.
What is wrong?
Thank you.
