[CLOSED] FileWatcher - automatic deploy of grunt processed files

Created August 04, 2015 09:56

Hi everyone,

I've configured some grunt tasks (concat/uglify) that generates  minified files in my project.
These tasks are triggered via the File  Watcher plugin that comes with PHPStorm. I've also configured automatic deployment, but that does not work for  files that have been generated by grunt tasks.

I thought this would be handled by the "Output paths to refresh"  option in the File Watcher (where I specified the full path to the  minified file), but this does not trigger the automatic deploy.

Have I forgotten something? Please help.
If needed I can provide some screenshots.

Thank you!

Thank you.

Interestingly this issue is in open state for more than 2 years, so I don't think this will be fixed soon =/

No real clue when it will be fixed/why not done it yet, but...

this supposed to be working (at very least it seemed to be working in the past, at least for some people -- I remember some forum therads/tickets where it was the case)....
