Multiples files and folders > No newer files to process

[dhenriet]

I am trying to compile only changed 'less' but grunt-newer detect only some less changes, watch task detect them. /bootstrap and /views are ignored with this message : No newer files to process and /layout less files are compiled.

hereis my grunt's config

package.json

 "grunt": "~0.4.2",
 "grunt-contrib-watch": "~0.5.3",
 "grunt-contrib-compass": "~0.6.0",
 "assemble-less": "~0.7.0",
 "grunt-newer": "~0.6.1"

this is the structure :

grunt is in a grunt folder /grunt

less to compile /views/bloc/folder/.less /views/bloc/folder/folder/.less /views/layout/.less /web/assets/css/bootstrap/3-0-3/.less

compiled css /web/assets/css/.css

Grunfile.js

module.exports = function (grunt) {

    grunt.initConfig({

        pkg: grunt.file.readJSON('package.json'),

        css_path : '../web/assets/css',
        bootstrap_path : '<%= css_path %>/bootstrap/3-0-3',
        sass_path : '../views/common/components/sass',
        layout_path: '../views/layout',

        less: {

            development: {
                options: {
                    paths: ['<%= css_path %>']
                },

I think this is essentially a duplicate of #29. Please reopen if you think it is a separate issue.

See #35 for a proposed general solution and #29 for specific discussion regarding LESS.
