Grunt task to run jasmine-node without PhantomJS

I’m working on a project where I write a webservice on Node.js and I find that grunt-contrib-jasmine is a bit slow to start. I couldn’t find amy module on npm that would do that, so I wrote my own task:

grunt.registerTask('jasmine', [], function() {
  var exec = require('child_process').exec,
      done = this.async();

  var child = exec('jasmine-node --matchall test', function(error, stdout, stderr) {
    if (error) grunt.warn(error);

    done();
  });

  child.stdout.on('data', function (data) {
    process.stdout.write(data);
  });

  child.stderr.on('data', function (data) {
    process.stdout.write(data);
  });

});
