Programmatically pass arguments to grunt task?

Question

I have a grunt task that calls other grunt tasks. I want to call a subtask with programmatically determined arguments. Is this possible? I spent some time digging around the

Answer 1

I figured it out. Use the <%= %> syntax in Gruntfile.js:

compass: {
  default_options: {
    src: 'components/<%= myTask.src %>',
    dest: 'build',
    require: ['zurb-foundation']
  }
}

Then you can set it in your task:

grunt.config.set('myTask.src', getSrc());

Answer 2

You can edit all the Grunt config:

grunt.config('compass.default_options.src', 'blabla');

Just before run the task. But your solution is "cleaner".
