Build fails when building offline

[yoshuawuyts]

Gives you some kind of error about the version, while what it should do is implement a check whether or not it can fetch the resource from the server.

I also cannot build offline. The output I get:
Running "nodewebkit:src" (nodewebkit) task
Fatal error: getaddrinfo ENOTFOUND

[krisvandebroek]

using grunt --stack, I got more output:

Running "nodewebkit:src" (nodewebkit) task
Fatal error: getaddrinfo ENOTFOUND
Error: getaddrinfo ENOTFOUND
    at errnoException (dns.js:37:11)
    at Object.onanswer [as oncomplete] (dns.js:124:16)

I tried using a later npm version: v0.11.14
Gave the same error, only is seemed to indicate which hostname that he is trying to resolve: dl.node-webkit.org.

@steffenmllr Do you have an idea? Is it possible to indicate to the node-webkit-builder to work offline?

[steffenmllr]

Yes you can build offline, when you already have the version you want in your cache folder and specify the version in the config. If you don't specify the version it will try to get the lastest one

@steffenmllr: big smile on my face. When I added the version it worked. Thanks

For my curiosity, do you know a way how I could have gotten more debugging output or how to debug the grunt task so that I could have found the cause myself? Now I only know about the grunt --trace option, but that hardly gives any information.

[steffenmllr]

not really, that is node way of telling you that something with your connection is wrong - that is nothing specific to grunt. You have a couple of options with grunt: http://gruntjs.com/using-the-cli

But I think a getaddrinfo error just doesn't give you more than that.
