Answer 1

please check the file "grunt-config.json" file in your project root folder. following code should be there:

{
    "themes": "dev/tools/grunt/configs/local-themes"
}

Also, please check the location /home/user/www/tutor/dev/tools/grunt/configs

There will be the file is "themes.js", please rename it to "local-themes.js"

flush the cache

Please check now and let me now if its working. However, I am sure it will be working for you.

Thanks

Answer 2

Please do not rename this, keep it as default :

grunt-config.json.sample

Now try again, if not working then add --force after your command

Answer 3

Define Like this :-

<theme>: {
     area: 'frontend',
     name: '<Vendor>/<theme>',  // app/Design/Frontend/Vendor/Theme/ 
     locale: '<language>',
     files: [
         'css/styles-m',
         'css/styles-l'
     ],
     dsl: 'less'
     }

Here is process for installing grunt:

First Rename files from root directory - package.json.sample into package.json - Gruntfile.js.sample into Gruntfile.js

1. Install NodeJs from https://nodejs.org/
2. Once you have Node install properly run command: "sudo npm install -g grunt-cli"
3. Go to your project dir. then run command: "sudo npm install grunt --save-dev"
4. then: "npm install"
5. Now run command "grunt"

Answer 5

Alhamdulillah, my issues solve I just updating my nodejs, because my nodjs before the old one so im updating

1. sudo npm install -g n
2. sudo n latest

Done, I can run $grunt , $grunt exec:mytheme

Thanks you all for any sugestion :D

Answer 6

The issue I had when I got the "unexpected token" error was because one of the theme/sections in my themes.js or local-themes.js contained a hyphen. For example:

theme-frontend-PS: {
     area: 'frontend',
     name: 'PS/theme-frontend-PS',  // app/Design/Frontend/Vendor/Theme/ 
     locale: '<language>',
     files: [
         'css/styles-m',
         'css/styles-l'
     ],
     dsl: 'less'
 }

This would result in an error. Instead, I renamed "theme-frontend-PS" at the beginning of the block to "PS", but you can leave the actual name of the theme alone. Like this:

PS: {
     area: 'frontend',
     name: 'PS/theme-frontend-PS',  // app/Design/Frontend/Vendor/Theme/ 
     locale: '<language>',
     files: [
         'css/styles-m',
         'css/styles-l'
     ],
     dsl: 'less'
 }
