Doesn't do anything about grunt-ember-templates HOT 9 CLOSED

Please see my comment here https://github.com/dgeb/grunt-contrib-ember/issues/1#issuecomment-9004473 and let me know if you're still having trouble.

So $ yeoman ember_handlebars works. Also $ yeoman ember_handlebars reload does work (gives a warning <WARN> Cannot call method 'reload' of undefined Use --force to continue. </WARN> though.

I have ember_handlebars in initConfig and also in watch as in your example and it does nothing when I enter yeoman server. Also no output about ember.

Have you tried cloning and running my example directly? https://github.com/dgeb/yeoman-ember-basic-example

After cloning, browse to the dir, run npm install grunt-contrib-ember, then yeoman ember_handlebars, then yeoman server (these steps will be reduced if this plugin gets added to yeoman itself).

Ok, actually it works but only if I do $ yeoman ember_handlebars before running the server. I expected it to work with just running the server. Is this expected behavior? If yes, would be good to add it to the README.

Thanks a lot for your support!

Glad you got it working, but I agree that the extra step shouldn't be necessary. I'll leave this ticket open and try to tackle that soon.

I'm afraid there's no way to cleanly plug the task in somewhere. My own solution is to add the following to the end of the Gruntfile:

  // We need to add task 'ember_templates' to almost all tasks.
  // By adding it to 'clean' we make sure it is called whenever something new
  // is started so this seems to be the "cleanest" hack at the moment.
  grunt.renameTask('clean', 'yeoman-clean');
  grunt.registerTask('clean', 'yeoman-clean ember_templates');

I found this in the example @dgeb provided and put it in my Gruntfile.js:

watch: {
  ...
  ember_templates: {
    files: 'app/scripts/**/*.handlebars',
    tasks: 'ember_templates reload'
  },
  ...
}

The templates get recompiled when I change any of the .handlebars files. Does it mean, that this issue is fixed by now?

If so, shouldn't this be added to the example?

from grunt-ember-templates.

@xMartin thanks for your workaround! I added it to my example until there's a cleaner way to customize tasks.

@nhoffmann Good idea - I probably should add the watch example to my plugin's README. You're right that, with this configuration change, templates get recompiled when any .handlebars file changes are made. This has always worked. However, the annoyance that @xMartin has worked around is the need to explicitly run yeoman ember_handlebars with a fresh app or after a clean. Ideally, there should be a "cleaner" way to modify tasks.

The README now includes ember_templates configuration and watch examples. I'm going to leave out yeoman-specific configuration steps for now.
