Task exec:task not found

[gizburdt]

I got this now:

Running "exec:wp_download" (exec) task

Missing command property.
Warning: Task "exec:wp_download" failed

[jharding]

What version of grunt-exec are you using?

[gizburdt]

This is in my package.json: "grunt-exec": "~0.4.5",

[jharding]

Well your config looks correct and I'm unable to reproduce the issue on my machine so I'm not sure what the issue could be. If you replace the value of cmd with 'echo hello', does that work?

[gizburdt]

I was working on it and suddenly it worked, sorry for the issue. And thanks for your help :)

thank you gizburdt

Sorry to bump, but I'm having this same issue.

module.exports = {
  webpack: {
    prod: {
      cmd: 'npm run js:build'
    },
    dev: {
      cmd: 'echo hello'
    }
  },
};

running

grunt exec:webpack:dev

results in

Running "exec:webpack:dev" (exec) task
>> Missing command property.
Warning: Task "exec:webpack:dev" failed. Use --force to continue.

any ideas?

exec: { git_tag: { command: '<%= gitinfo.tag %> } }

Re-opening issue

@VinSpee I don't think you can have exec:webpack:dev because that's two inner-layers of names. If you have exec:webpackdev it should work. This is the case with all grunt plugins -- I think ?

@jlf123 your command should work if you have a terminating half quote. Replacing the grunt.template string with 'echo hello world' works but I'll do some testing specifically with grunt.template strings

[gwicksted]

I have confirmed the following works (displays "world") -- please provide a full gruntfile example if you're still getting that error:

module.exports = function(grunt) {

  grunt.initConfig({
    hello: "world",
    exec: {
      git_tag: { command: 'echo <%= hello %>' }
    }
  });

  grunt.loadTasks("tasks");
}

You're right, that was my bad. thanks!
