Configure subsets of watch configs and focus your Grunt processes

grunt-focus's Issues

Obsolete Issue

Exclude or include has no effect

Hi,

It seems (in my case) that the watch task is not filtered by the task focus. Here's a part of my GruntFile :

    focus: {
        website: {
            exclude: ['html']
        },
        dev: {
            exclude: ['htmlWebsite']
        }
    },


    // Watch files for changes and launch related tasks ------------------------------------
    watch: {

        styles: {
            files: ['src/**/*.css', 'src/**/*.less'],
            tasks: ['newer:less', 'newer:autoprefixer', 'processhtml:css', 'notify:watch']
        },

        scripts: {
          files: 'src/**/*.js',
          tasks: ['newer:jshint:dev', 'uglify:dev', 'notify:watch']
        },


        html : {
          files: ['src/**/*.html'],
          tasks: ['processhtml:dev', 'merge-json', 'replace', 'notify:watch']
        },

        htmlWebsite : {
          files: ['src/**/*.html'],
          tasks: ['processhtml', 'merge-json', 'replace', 'notify:watch']
        }
    },

The task that calls focus is registered like this :

grunt.registerTask('server', 'local server', function(target){
    target = target || 'website';
    grunt.task.run(['connect', 'focus:'+target]);
});

But the output shows that both processhtml tasks for html files are ran (while only processhtml:website task should run) :

Running "server" task

Running "connect:server" (connect) task
Started connect web server on http://0.0.0.0:8000

Running "focus:website" (focus) task

Running "watch" task
Waiting...
>> File "src/html/home.html" changed.
Running "processhtml:dev" (processhtml) task

Running "processhtml:website" (processhtml) task

Any ideas ?
PS : i tried with both exclude or include options

Node version : v0.10.32
Grunt version : 0.4.5
Grunt CLI version : 0.1.13
grunt-focus version : 0.1.1
grunt-contrib-watch version : 0.6.1

ObjectFilter drops task-level options

If I configure the focus task to include some watch targets, then all keys from the watch config which are not present in the array are dropped. This means that only target-level options can be used, task-level options are dropped.

Depending on how generic you'd like to keep ObjectFilter, we can either automatically push "options" into the include config, or add another option to ObjectFilter which will preserve/ignore certain keys.
