tasks running before others complete

[ralyodio]

I posted about this issue, but it seems when I run rsync, the subsequent tasks are running before rsync finishes. The shell:clean is deleting files before shell:sync finishes.

So I tried grunt-exec and it reported an error exit code on the rsync command. I believe the output buffer is too large maybe. Not sure, but I think grunt-shell should fail on erroneous exit codes like grunt-exec does.

When I run rsync with -q (quiet) the command finishes.

I am experiencing this issue as well, except with completely different types of shell commands.

my angular project requires rails backend - so i'm running bundle install in one shell command, and then in another running bundle exec db:reset, etc

if i run these command separately (e.g. grunt shell:build_ruby), everything executes completely and finishes in order. However when I run them in sequence in a combined grunt task, such as...
grunt.registerTask('load:admin_server', [
'shell:checkout_admin',
'shell:build_admin',
'shell:run_server'
]);

the build_admin task does not have time to complete, and is brushed over. If i put a dummy command such as 'pwd' early in that script - it sometimes appears in the logs for shell:run_server

I can provide more examples of this if needed.

i switched to grunt-contrib-exec and everything works in order.
