Configure grunt copy task to exclude files/folders

Question

I have installed the grunt task grunt-contrib-copy. I embedd it in my Gruntfile.js and load the task via grunt.loadNpmTasks(\'grunt-contrib-c

Answer 1

Assuming that 'Gruntfile.js' is in root directory, the last line in your copy options is configuring it to copy everything in root to 'output/'.

If this is intended, add '!Gruntfile.js' to your array of src file paths.

{
  expand: true, 
  cwd: './', 
  src: ['**'],      // ex. src: ['**',  '!Gruntfile.js'],
  dest: 'output/'
}
