karnith / machinepack-sailsgulpify Goto Github PK

Hey, reading over the documentation on here, NPM, and Node Machine, never really understand how this is supposed to work. Are you supposed to run a sails new projectName and then hook this machinepack in somehow? Or is there and independent command to run and generate a sails app with included Gulp compilation (like `gulpifysails new projectName)? Not really sure how to use this tool and it's never really explained just kind of assumed that the user should know how this is supposed to work.

Hi, I would like an sass task for this repo to easy make an switch to scss :)

This is going to sound like a stupid question, but I need a little help with getting this up and running. Where should I install the machinepack? I followed the instructions in a test directory but sails new still generates a site using grunt. Any help would be much appreciated!

After follow install instructions and running gulp at the command line, any file change results in the following:

/Users/austinmao/Sites/sails-mongoose-boilerplate/tasks-gulp/config/watch.js:19
                    server.changed(file.path);
                           ^

when upgrade sails, custom tasks are deleted when gulpifysails is run.

Why do I got this error?

when saisl is updated in project, changes made by gulpifysails get lost. When running node node_modules/machinepack-sailsgulpify/templates/toggleEngine.js after an upgrade, it reinstall all modules. We need a toggle for package install so that if we have updated modules and upgrade sails, all we need to do is recreate the gulp linkage.

need to update default-hooks.js with:

'orm': 'sails-hook-orm',

It would be nice, like with the old generator, if we could configure this machinepack to run when we are crating a new project, and let it set up gulp from the beginning, so we don't have to install the machinepack locally to every project after it's creation.

If there is such a way, then it needs to be added to the usage section in the readme.

After going through the install and setup process you'd think that the need for grunt as a dependency is removed but it seems that grunt is still needed somewhere in the deep bowels of the project.
Let me explain, after installing this plugin I went for removing grunt from package.json, I have also removed all of grunt modules in node_modules folder, deleted the tasks folder (grunt tasks) and removed gruntfile.js.
However, when I lift the project it starts seemingly ok but a quick look at the browser console reveals a couple of 404s, it looks like gulp hasn't compiled importer.less and failed to copy it and sails.io.js.
Because this is a fresh install the project doesn't contain any other assets (which wouldn't be copied either I presume).
The other strange thing which is likely the root cause of the problem, is that whereas grunt used to copy all needed public assets to .temp/public/, this new gulp setup is not doing that and I wonder where is the site being served from?

There is a clear dependency on grunt after installing and configuring the project to use this plugin.
