Hi,

I would like install this plugin, but i've error message on npm install grunt-svg-sprite --save-dev.

@Leg3ndz Did you install PhantomJS before? If not, please make sure to do so — and be aware that grunt-svg-sprite is not yet compatible with the brand new PhantomJS 2.0. You might get the right version at https://code.google.com/p/phantomjs/downloads/list

Hi @jkphl,

Yep, PhantomJS is on my Windows, and he's present on the PATH. v1.9.8.

Can you please try to do a global PhantomJS Node install, like npm install phantomjs -g (untested)?

[Stéphane]

Install has functioned after remove node_module folder. But i think it's don't work :(

I've add the task, but no result :

svg_sprite: {
    your_target: {
        src         : ['/images/*.svg'], // my svg files
        dest        : '/images/sprite', // dest folder
    }
}

If i start the task on my command, i see done, without errors 👍

grunt svg_sprite
Running "svg_sprite:your_target" (svg_sprite) task

Done, without errors.

I don't understand why :(

Please refer to the documentation and learn how to use grunt-svg-sprite. You need to pass a configuration object, otherwise you won't get any reasonable output. See the basic example as a starter.

Cheers, Joschi
