Grunt.task.run () does not work

I am trying to use grunt inside my express application.

I have something like this:

var grunt = require('grunt');
require(process.cwd() + '/gruntfile.js')(grunt);
grunt.task.run('development');

But the task seems like this is not a wokring. (no error is output to the console) But if I run "grunt development" directly in the console, it works fine.

grunt.task.runjust adds the task to the queue, so it works as part of an existing task, but not inside an external script. Here is a simple technique that I borrowed from grunt/lib/grunt/cli.js. Beware - this is not part of the official API . Problem Grunt 687 notes the need to use an official API for this feature.

var grunt = require('grunt');
process.chdir(__dirname);
var config = require('./Gruntfile');
config(grunt);
console.log('Minifying...');
grunt.tasks(['cssmin']);
