Grunt.log.error question
Raw
coffeeTask.js
Desired CoffeeScript compilation Error:
>> SyntaxError: unmatched }
>> In file: main.coffee
>> On line: 15
>> foo = } bar
>> ^
The isssue is that grunt.log.error trims whitespace so that
grunt.log.error(' ^')
appears as
>> ^
instead of
>> ^
Is there a way to maintain this whitespace without using a non-whitespace character to prevent the trimming?

Both log.error and log.warn trim the input string. I ended up using grunt.log.writeln (which doesn't trim the string) and added in the red >> to make it look like grunt.log.error
