问题:

I am using YO lessapp project, "grunt-contrib-connect" helps me to start a node js server on 9000 port. Whenever I run grunt serve (start the server) the service is aborted due to the below warning.

Running "connect:livereload" (connect) task Warning: connect.static is not a function Use --force to continue.

The exact error took place in the below function in Gruntfile.js

 livereload: {         options: {           middleware: function(connect) {             return [               connect.static('.tmp'),               connect().use('/bower_components', connect.static('./bower_components')),               connect.static(config.app)             ];           }         }       },

I have installed npm install grunt-contrib-connect --save-dev, npm install serve-static --save-dev

I came across few post, some suggest to turn off the firewall but no luck.

I know there is something to do with my machine or npm/node/connect version conflicts, because I tried to run the same app from other machine and it works fine.

System configuration :

Windows 7 Professional
Node -v4.1.2
npm -v2.14.4
connect@3.4.0

I have installed connect and serve-static based upon the post nodejs connect cannot find static, but still the same

Any help? Thanks in Advance

You have to install connect and serve-static:

npm install --save-dev grunt-contrib-connect serve-static

And then you have to import serve-static in Gruntfile.js:

module.exports = function (grunt) {   ...   var serveStatic = require('serve-static');    grunt.initConfig({   ...     connect: {     ...       livereload: {         options: {           middleware: function(connect) {             return [               serveStatic('.tmp'),               connect().use('/bower_components', serveStatic('./bower_components')),               serveStatic(config.app)             ];           }         }       }

From version 0.11.x, the new grunt-contrib-connect does not support connect.static and connect.directory.
You should install serve-static(for serve static files) and serve-index (for Serves pages that contain directory listings for a given path).

like this:
var serveStatic = require('serve-static');
var serveIndex = require('serve-index');

Use serveStatic instead connect.static
and
serveIndex instead connect.directory

grunt.initConfig({     connect: {         options: {             test: {                directory: 'somePath',                middleware: function(connect, options){                     var _staticPath = path.resolve(options.directory);                     return [serveStatic(_staticPath), serveIndex(_staticPath)]                }             }         }     } })
