NodeJS Build Package (zip) using Grunt on Jenkins












1















I'm trying to build a package (zip) using grunt in Jenkins (though Jenkins is kind of irrelevant at this stage).



Basically the code is checked out of git, and I run



npm install --production


but grunt needs the files installed locally.



So I run



npm install


But now I have all the grunt packages in the node_modules directory.



As part of the grunt build I simply want to copy the node_modules directory into the package.



Am I headed down the right track with trying to package my code using grunt?



Or should I be using grunt to only run jslint, unit tests etc and use this to package: https://github.com/zeit/pkg



The output is another tool that I will be calling from the command line.
