How to get Grunt not to fail the whole task if only warnings but no errors were found

When running my scss-lint task I get some warnings but no errors and the following output:

Warning: Task "scsslint:allFiles" failed. Use --force to continue.
Error: Task "scsslint:allFiles" failed.
    at Task.<anonymous> (/<path>/node_modules/grunt/lib/util/task.js:205:15)
    at null._onTimeout (/<path>/node_modules/grunt/lib/util/task.js:241:33)
    at Timer.listOnTimeout (timers.js:119:15)

I already had a look at https://github.com/brigade/scss-lint/blob/master/lib/scss_lint/cli.rb So, as of my understanding the exit code of the scss-lint gem would be 1.

I would like Grunt to continue if there are no errors. Any advice on how to achieve this?

My Grunt task looks like this:

...
scsslint: {
    allFiles: scssFilePattern,
    options: {
        config: '.scss-lint.yml',
        colorizeOutput: true,
        emitError: false,
        compact: false,
    },
}, // end of scsslint
...

Run the task with --stack --debug please.

Thanks, but the relevant output is the same.

Here's an abbreviated version of the output – I deliberately left out all the linter-warnings.

Any progress?

@LorenzKahl I think PR #138 will help with this.

@nick11703 great - I will have a look. Thanks for letting me know.
