No Grunt File #184

Closed tmess567 closed 9 years ago

tmess567 commented 9 years ago

Gulp is new for me and it would really help if this generator included a grunt file.

Learn gulp. We decided to go with it in https://github.com/yeoman/generator-polymer/pull/127.

Well could you help me out... I tried looking for a solution on google but nothing came up

i run "$ gulp test:local" as suggested in the manual 2 windows pop up (a chrome and a firefox) none of them show anything on the page or the source....

You need to build it first. Read https://github.com/yeoman/generator-polymer/blob/master/app/templates/polymer-starter-kit/README.md#serve--watch.

@tmess567 yeah sorry for the sudden change, we used to support grunt but have been focusing more on having a more "opinionated" toolchain. Because there are so many tools for developers to choose from, it can actually become really overwhelming. Addy wrote a great article on this last year: http://addyosmani.com/blog/front-end-choice-paralysis/

This is also reflected in the approach to our Web Fundamentals project. For instance, the tools section is very prescriptive, and that's by design. By narrowing our focus to a limited set of tools, we can help more developers get on the quick path to building their app, vs having to spend tons of time researching the pros and cons of all the different things out there.

That explains it... Thanks
