grunt-force-switch

A grunt plugin to turn force on and off

Getting Started

This plugin requires Grunt ~0.4.1

If you haven't used Grunt before, be sure to check out the Getting Started guide, as it explains how to create a Gruntfile as well as install and use Grunt plugins. Once you're familiar with that process, you may install this plugin with this command:

npm install grunt-force-switch --save-dev

Once the plugin has been installed, it may be enabled inside your Gruntfile with this line of JavaScript:

grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-force-switch');

The "turnForce[On/Off]" tasks

Overview

A grunt plugin to turn force on and off at will.

The code for this plugin was obtained from this answer by explunit on StackOverflow.

Another variation of this plugin is called grunt-continue.

Simple Example

module.exports = function(grunt) {

  // Add the grunt-force-switch task
  grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-force-switch');

  // Other tasks and configuration
  ...

  grunt.registerTask('build', [
    'init',
    'turnForceOn',
    // All tasks after this point will be run with the force
    // option so that grunt will continue after failures
    'run_phpunit',
    'mochaTest',
    'mocha_phantomjs',
    'turnForceOff',
    // Tasks after this point will be run without the force
    // option so that grunt exits if they fail
    'mergeTestResults'
  ]);

};

turnForceOff does not turn off force if --force was specified at the command line.

In lieu of a formal styleguide, take care to maintain the existing coding style. Add unit tests for any new or changed functionality. Lint and test your code using Grunt.
