Cannot read property 'src' of undefined

[davidtheclark]

This is my first attempt to use a grunt plugin, so please forgive me if I am missing something obvious -- but I think I'm following the directions from Grunt and from you, and running into an error. My package.json looks like this:

{
  "name": "brink-prototype",
  "version": "0.0.0",
  "dependencies": {
    "bower": "~0.8.6",
    "grunt": "~0.4.1",
    "grunt-regex-replace": "~0.2.2"
  }
}

And my Gruntfile.js looks like this:

module.exports = function(grunt) {
  grunt.initConfig({
    pkg: grunt.file.readJSON('package.json'),
    'regex-replace': {
      src: ['components/bootstrap/less/navbar.less'],
      actions: [
        {
          search: '\.box-shadow(.*);$',
          replace: '',
          flags: ''
        }
      ]
    }
  });
  grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-regex-replace');
  grunt.registerTask('default', ['regex-replace']);
};

Now, when I run grunt from the command line I get the following error:

Running "regex-replace:src" (regex-replace) task
Warning: Cannot read property 'src' of undefined Use --force to continue.
Aborted due to warnings.

Do you have any idea what I'm doing wrong? Thanks so much for your help.

Fixed! The new version update is 0.2.3. There were some incompatibilities with the changes in grunt 0.4.x.

Update your package.json to

{
  "name": "brink-prototype",
  "version": "0.0.0",
  "dependencies": {
    "bower": "~0.8.6",
    "grunt": "~0.4.1",
    "grunt-regex-replace": "~0.2.3"
  }
}

Update your Gruntfile to look something like this.

module.exports = function(grunt) {
  grunt.initConfig({
    pkg: grunt.file.readJSON('package.json'),
    'regex-replace': {
        foo: {       // a target must be specified with a name
           src: ['components/bootstrap/less/navbar.less'],
           actions: [
                {
                     search: '\.box-shadow(.*);$',
                     replace: '',
                     flags: ''
                }
            ]
         }
    }
  });
  grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-regex-replace');
  grunt.registerTask('default', ['regex-replace']);
};

Just specify a target name and your fine.
Let me know.
Cheers
