Missing abort/success message from min (UglifyJS) task?

[bitinn]

Shame on me for using v0.3 still, but is there a reason for contrib-watch not displaying error message from UglifyJS task?

Even when UglifyJS-related task failed, watch plugin display the same OK message.

Waiting...OK
>> File "some.js" changed.
Running "min:app" (min) task

for other tasks such as LESS, there are clear success message such as:

File asset\css\client-0.0.5.css created.
File asset\css\ie-0.0.5.css created.

if I run the same UglifyJS task manually, it displays the error/success message just fine, but they do NOT appear when ran by watch.

Running "min:app" (min) task
Minifying with UglifyJS...ERROR
[L360:C46] Unexpected token name, expected punc (position: 8529)
<WARN> UglifyJS found errors. Use --force to continue. </WARN>

Aborted due to warnings.

Running "min:app" (min) task
File "asset/js/app-0.0.5.min.js" created.
Uncompressed size: 29600 bytes.
Compressed size: 3151 bytes gzipped (9660 bytes minified).

Done, without errors.

Looks like my issue is linked to #19 as well, will update to Grunt v0.4 and report back...

yep, upgrade to Grunt v0.4 and watch v0.2 does resolve the issue. Though it also means 0.1.4 is broken at least on Win7, hard to say if it's a node.js issue or grunt issue.
