Coffeescript EADDRINUSE error about grunt-express-server HOT 3 CLOSED

the spawn: false flag is missing.
sadly there is no way for grunt-express-server to make this default, as this is embedded in the grunt-contrib-watch package.

watch:
  express:
    files: [ "**/*.coffee" ]
    tasks: [ "express:dev" ]
  options:
    spawn: false

from grunt-express-server.

Ah crap... When I tried spawn: false, it was inside "express:" (indented too far). Man, fast reply though. Thanks!

np ;)
I think, actually it should be in the watch.express task otherwise it will be used for all watch tasks.

watch:
  express:
    files: [ "**/*.coffee" ]
    tasks: [ "express:dev" ]
    options:
      spawn: false

from grunt-express-server.
