Execute PowerShell Script from Grunt

Question

I have a PowerShell script (myScript.ps1) that I need to run as part of my build process. I'm using Grunt to build my code. I cannot figure out how to run this script from Grunt. Does anyone know how to run a PowerShell script from Grunt such that the next task won't run until the PowerShell script has completed?

Thank you!

You could give a try to grunt-shell

Install

npm install --save-dev grunt-shell

Load

grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-shell');

Configure

grunt.initConfig({
    shell: {
        ps: {
            options: {
                stdout: true
            },
            command: 'powershell myScript.ps1'
        }
    }
});

Use

grunt shell:ps
