Compress folder on grunt is not working

Question

I am trying to compress a folder on grunting. I used the following code in Gruntfile.js

    compress: {
      main : {
        options : {
          archive : "myapp.zip"
        },
        files : [
          { expand: true, src : "src/partials/templates", cwd : "target/dev/" }
        ]
      }
    }

Folder structure

--mainfolder
----src
------partials
----target
------dev
----gruntfile.js

But it is not working. I am new to this. Did i miss anything? Why it is not working?

Please help, Thanks.

Answer 1

I've just run your conf with your folder strcture and it worked for me, I have a myapp.zip in your ./mainfolder

Are you up do date with your nodeJS version (0.10 or 0.12) grunt and compress (my compress is 0.9.1 currently)?

Could you copy the output of your console?
