How to stop minification of js files in grunt?
I am new to grunt. I have nearly 20-30 js files in my project. I came to know that We are already using grunt to minify and concatenate them. For debug purpose I need to stop minification but retain them in concatenated form. Could any one suggest how to proceed. Any site which has the related tutorials would be helpful.Thanks in advance.
module.exports = function(grunt) {
var readJSFile = function(data, path){
var finalArray = [];
if(path == 'assets/js/'){
finalArray.push('<%= copy.options.buildFolder %>/JSON-words.js');
}
for(var item in data.main){
finalArray.push('<%= copy.options.buildFolder %>/'+path+data.main[item].file);
}
return finalArray;
}

Answer
Look in the Gruntfile. There is probably a reference to a task named "min". Try to remove that reference and run grunt again.
For a more detailed answer you need to add the Gruntfile to the question.
Edit: It could also be called uglify. Look for a line like this at the end:
grunt.registerTask('default', ['jshint', 'qunit', 'concat', 'uglify']);
and remove the last option. You might also have to change some file paths.
