Warning: Task "wordpressdeploy" not found. Use --force to continue.

Can't get past this error. The syntax in the gruntfile is correct. Do I need to install rsync locally?

Posted the same issue. I just created a new task that uses the wordpressdeploy built-in tasks like so:

grunt.registerTask('deploy', 'Deploy to server environment', function(target) {
grunt.option('target', target)
grunt.task.run('push_files');
grunt.task.run('push_db');
}
);

You'd run this like "grunt deploy:staging" (provided you have a staging configuration setup in your gruntfile).

@unknpwn Thank you for your contribution, I think this should be useful for other and added in README.md file.

If you have problems with jit-grunt you have to add static mappings:

require('jit-grunt')(grunt, {
    // translate wordpressdeploy tasks to use the 'grunt-wordpress-deploy' plugin
    push_files: 'grunt-wordpress-deploy',
    push_db: 'grunt-wordpress-deploy',
    pull_files: 'grunt-wordpress-deploy',
    pull_db: 'grunt-wordpress-deploy'
});

And then you will can use all built-in grunt-wordpress-deploy tasks like so:

$ grunt push_files:staging`

Also you can wrap all needed tasks into multitask function to do more than one step:

grunt.registerTask(
    'deploy',
    'Grab deploy info; If valid, then deploy to target environment server',
    function(target){
    grunt.option('target',target);
    if(target!==''){
        grunt.task.run('push_db:'+target);
        grunt.task.run('push_files:'+target);
    }
    else{
        grunt.log.error('Please provide a target for deployment! It is dangerous to deploy with closed eyes.');
    }
});

And do this:

$ grunt deploy:staging
