Cloud WebIDE - Grunt


So I merrily built an application in WebIDE, and could test using the Application-Test function... but when trying to deploy, I get “Unable to find local grunt” and “npm ERR! code EINTERGITY” errors.

So the whole point of Grunt is to “minify” the code, which makes it more efficient for the computer / phone to use, simultaneously making the code horrific to read and maintain.

Reversing the “Add Grunt” steps (WebIDE was doing these automatically) in


by removing the Gruntfile.js and package.json files from the app 




means that deployment is done without minification, and deploys in like 2 seconds.
