Upload freezes after one particular file about grunt-ftpush

[inossidabile]

Did it get through diff part? Can you show me the whole output?

Yes, it got through the diff part.

Running "ftpush:build" (ftpush) task

Where despite the fact it says it Uploaded logo.png, it appears to not have.

I'm starting to wonder if I've got an error in my config.

ftpush: {
            build: {
                auth: {
                    host: 'redacted',
                    port: redacted,
                    authKey: 'blog'
                },
                src: 'wordpress/wp-content/themes/mariehogebrandt/',
                dest: 'ftp/'
                // exclusions: []
                // keep: []
            }
},

The account that I'm using for ftp has access to a subfolder along the lines of themes/mariehogebrandt, and while I'm testing I'm trying to upload everything to the subfolder of that, ie themes/mariehogebrandt/ftp. Now I'm getting the error of

Warning: Cannot delete file: ftp/404.php --> Error: 550 Could not delete ftp/ftp/404.php: No such file or directory Use --force to continue.

which suggests to me that there is some kind of weird repetition somewhere... Does the dest need to be at the root of the FTP-account's access?

src is a path to the root of LOCAL directory you want to upload. It starts from directory containing Gruntfile unless starting '/' specified. And from global root otherwise.

dest is a path to the root of REMOTE directory that you want to upload to. It starts from current working dir that you appear at when you login to your FTP (it's root in most cases). And from possible remote root otherwise.

To totally clarify, the uploader is just concatenating strings for you then passes it to server. So depending on the server implementation (which can have different settings) you can get different result. In your case i.e. "wordpress/wp-content/themes/mariehogebrandt/path/to/file.jpg" would be uploaded to "ftp/path/to/file.jpg". And as I mentioned previously the actual resolve of latter path depends on your CWD at the remote side.

So if you don't want to depend on settings and implementations, use an absolute path for the dest setting.

Regarding the diff part. Is that 'logo.png' the last file that has to be uploaded? There's a bug in implementation of jsftp that makes it call "uploaded" callback before a file was actually uploaded. So at the moment you see this message it has just started uploading probably. However if the session is terminating properly inside the code, jstftp finishes uploading prior to exit callback trigger.

So probably at this point it's finalizing logo.png upload and is waiting for the exit trigger. The reason why it can freeze is still unclear to me cause I can't reproduce it in any way.

Could you please try running the command with --simple option? It forces "just upload what changed" mode. Will the issue stay?

[Melindrea]

Thanks for the quite thorough explanation of src/dest. That was pretty much exactly what I thought, though makes me wonder if there's something in the server settings that's messing things up.

There's quite a few more files that has to be uploaded (an entire theme, to be exact). I'm running with --simple right now, and will let you know what happens. At the moment it's trying to upload one of my fonts, it appears.

Please also try the new 0.1.3 version with the --debug key and show me the output.

[Melindrea]

Fixed as of 0.1.5 (at least - that's the one I tested with now). Thanks, you've just solved the final thing that has been bugging me with using grunt in development (I test, get dependencies, build... And then I have to go into a program to upload it? How retro! =)

Will be closing this once I've confirmed it on the live site properly, and also confirmed that it can handle some of the updates that will happen on a regular basis.

Let me close it for now. You can always reopen if something goes wrong.
