I installed grunt-notify to get messages on desktop.

Here is the Gruntfile.js :

module.exports = function(grunt) {
  grunt.initConfig({
    notify: {
      test: {
        options: {
          message: "YO"
        }
      }
    }
  });

  grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-notify');

  // simplified example
  grunt.registerTask('default', ['notify:test']);
};

The console output on grunt -v

E:\Temp>grunt -v

>> [growl] return_code: 4294967295

Done, without errors.

We can see a return_code: 4294967295 (-1 converted to unsigned 32-bit value). .

If I manually do the following command line : E:\Temp>growlnotify /i:E:\Temp\node_modules\grunt-notify\images\grunt-logo.png YO /t:Temp

I got the message (without the logo) :

Growl message

So, why I got an error code when passing via grunt-notify, but not on a manual line command?

Note : I'm using Windows 7 Pro

Edit : after following this issue : https://github.com/dylang/grunt-notify/issues/91, I succeed to get the image with the command line :

C:\temp>growlnotify /i:"C:/temp/node_modules/grunt-notify/images/grunt-logo.png"  "YO" /t:temp

But still doesn't work through grunt...
