Getting Started

This plugin requires:

• Grunt ~0.4.1
• gettext (Installation instructions: Mac, Windows and Linux)

If you haven't used Grunt before, be sure to check out the Getting Started guide, as it explains how to create a Gruntfile as well as install and use Grunt plugins. Once you're familiar with that process, you may install this plugin with this command:

npm install grunt-po2mo --save-dev

Once the plugin has been installed, it may be enabled inside your Gruntfile with this line of JavaScript:

grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-po2mo');

The "po2mo" task

Overview

In your project's Gruntfile, add a section named po2mo to the data object passed into grunt.initConfig().

grunt.initConfig({
  po2mo: {
    your_target: {
      // Target-specific file lists and/or options go here.
    },
  },
})

Options

options.deleteSrc

Type: Boolean Default value: false

Will delete the source .po file.

Usage Examples

grunt.initConfig({
  po2mo: {
    files: {
      src: 'languages/fr.po',
      dest: 'languages/fr.mo',
    },
  },
})

grunt.initConfig({
  po2mo: {
    files: {
      options: {
        deleteSrc: true
      },
      src: 'languages/fr.po',
      dest: 'languages/fr.mo',
    },
  },
})

grunt-po2mo's Issues

*.mo with no content

Compiling the *.po with po2mo results in a *.mo with 0 Byte. When compiling it with Poedit everything works well.

My gruntfile: https://gist.github.com/almai/9951558

Add an option to remove the po.

An option to remove the po after the mo have been created will be the cherry on the cake.

spawn EMFILE

Getting issues with too many spawns. Can you back it off or do I need to find another way to do this?

I really don't want to do a shell script. ;)

"Can not create sync-exec directory" warning

Hi.

I have been using this for quite a while to make my workflow easier. It worked fine before but suddenly it generates this warning today.

Running "po2mo:plg" (po2mo) task
Warning: Can not create sync-exec directory Use --force to continue.

Aborted due to warnings.

This is probably due to the fact that I update NodeJS on my Mac, but I'm not familiar with NodeJS at all so I have no idea where to start. I tried Google the error but couldn't find anything quite useful either.

I know that I can add --force to the grunt <task> command to bypass this, but I want to run this from Visual Studio Code's task menu, and I don't know how to add that --force argument to VSC.

Everyone is probably moving to Webpack or something but I just couldn't get the hang of Webpack so... please help me with this if anyone is still using Grunt and this package.

Truly appreciated!
