base64 usage

[mike-hanson]

Hi I have switched from css-sprite as recommended. I had a grunt task working fine with css-sprite for some time. Since switching I am seeing different behaviour and it not seeming to work as config examples show.

Here is my task config

sprity: {
options: {
processor: 'css',
out: 'build/css/app/',
base64: true
},
tree: {
options: {
prefix: 'tree-icon',
style: 'tree.sprites.css'
},
src: ['src/css/treesprites/.png'],
dest: 'build/css/app/tree.sprites'
},
buttons: {
options: {
prefix: 'button-icon',
style: 'button.sprites.css'
},
src: ['src/css/buttonsprites/.png'],
dest: 'build/css/app/button.sprites'
},
items: {
options: {
prefix: 'item-icon',
style: 'item.sprites.css'
},
src: ['src/css/itemsprites/*.png'],
dest: 'build/css/app/item.sprites'
}
},

This is working but it still generates the .png files at dest despite being configured for base64. If I exclude dest the css file does not get generated.

If I try the example base64 config from the home page i.e.

base64: {
options: {
'base64': true
},
src: ['src/images/*'],
dest: 'dest/scss/base64.css',
}

I get an image file named base64.css.png and no css file.

What am I doing wrong?
