Im trying to get grunt-ssh sftp to work with grunt-watch to only send modified files. I manage to get this to work but with a wired problem
my grunt config
grunt.initConfig({
watch: {
upload: {
files: ['*.*'],
tasks: ['sftp'],
options: {
spawn: false,
},
}
},
sftp:{
upload:{
options: {
host: '192.168.10.10',
username: 'blah',
password: 'blah',
path:'/home/vagrant/Sites/test/',
showProgress: true,
},
files:{'./': []}
},
},
});
function on watch event to modify the config
var changedFiles = {'./': []};
var onChange = grunt.util._.debounce(function() {
grunt.config('sftp.upload.files', changedFiles);
changedFiles = {'./': []};
console.log(grunt.config('sftp.upload.files'))
}, 275);
grunt.event.on('watch', function(action, filepath) {
changedFiles['./'].push(filepath);
onChange();
});
This it the output from grunt

in this output you can see that the console log of the files is correct every time but it doesn't always seem to upload to correct file and I cant work out why. any help would be much appreciated
I resolved this by adding a wait before the sftp task to make sure the config had time to update
the changed the watch task:
