Re-downloading nodewebkit every time i run the grunt command

[Lyubomir Petrov]

Not sure why, but every time i run the grunt command its redownloading the .tar.gz packages from s3.
My assumption is that the command should check first the cache/ folder for any existing archives, before re-downloading everything again.

So, am I doing something wrong or i misunderstood the purpose of the cache/ folder ? :)

Cheers,
L

The command (should) check if the files within the archive exist, not the archive itself. Can you tell me which files are in your cache folder?

Also, i'd just found that if i run the command it will finish w/ success (successful exit code and no logged errors), but my dist/releases/appname/ folder is just empty. This i guess, started happening after i updated to the latest version).
I can however, enable the keep_nw and i will see the nw file, but none of the linux/win/mac built apps are there.

My configuration is:

module.exports = function(grunt) {
  grunt.initConfig({
    pkg: grunt.file.readJSON('package.json'),
    nodewebkit: {
        options: {
            build_dir: './dist/', // Where the build version of my node-webkit app is saved
            keep_nw: false,
            mac: false, // We want to build it for mac
            win: false, // We want to build it for win
            linux32: false, // We don't need linux32
            linux64: true // We don't need linux64
        },
        src: ['./app/**/*'] // Your node-wekit app
    }
  });

  grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-node-webkit-builder');
  grunt.registerTask('default', ['nodewebkit']);

};

Hope that this helps :)

Thanks,

There are some issues with the untaring on linux (#19) - I'll look into it

[Steffen Müller]

can't reproduce the issue, please reopen you it is still valid

[Satana Charuwichitratana]

Still have this problem. I'm using..
grunt-node-webkit-builder 0.3.0
node-webkit-builder 0.1.4
node 0.11.13
grunt 0.4.5
Build on Windows 8.1 x64 VM (physical machine is Mac)

nodewebkit: {
options: {
version: '0.8.6',
buildDir: './build/releases',
mac_icns: './app/app.icns',
platforms: ['win']
},
src : ['./app//*', '!./app/test//*']
}

ps. I recently upgrade grunt-node-webkit-builder 0.1.21 to 0.3.0. It used to work perfectly on 0.1.21. After upgrade I get the re-downloading problem.

Update:
I can avoid the problem by installing nvm to control node version, and downgrade it to 0.10.33 32-bit.
I guess the root cause is the node version 0.11.13 does not support some node_modules.

Hope this help.

I guess the root cause is the node version 0.11.13 does not support some node_modules.

What do you mean?

[Satana Charuwichitratana]

sorry for late reply. I meant there's some incompatible with node 0.11.13 and grunt-node-webkit-builder 0.3.0. but I wasn't sure what it was. When I downgrade to node 0.10.33, the problem just gone. So if any one facing this problem, the easiest workaround is to try downgrading node version.

@micksatana ok, thanks

Hi, I think this happens on Fedora 21 with system node v0.10.36 , when try build packages under a chroot with mock comand :

mock -r fedora-21-x86_64 --no-clean  --rebuild pdemo-0.1.20150712git7212f67.fc21.src.rpm

Before begin nmp install is untar all cache but

+ grunt nodewebkit

Always download node-webkit

Running "nodewebkit:src" (nodewebkit) task
Downloading: http://get.popcorntime.io/nw/v0.12.1/node-webkit-v0.12.1-linux-x64.tar.gz

Any suggestion for grunt nodewebkit use the cache file instead download it or even grunt nodewebkit work without networking ?

Thanks
