override the .local directory about grunt-bower HOT 2 CLOSED

In general, this shouldn't be an issue at all.

Grunt is meant for development, and grunt-bower is for bundling your app
for deployment.

And to my knowledge, it's bower using ~/.local; so if you're looking
for overriding anything, please check bower's document.

Care to elaborate more about the use case?

I am running a Sails app on Openshift. grunt-bower uses ~/.local to save
bower data, however, on some platforms like openshift the home directory is
not writable. Is there a way to override the .local directory when setting
up grunt-bower?

I have tried renaming the HOME directory before running the app, and
overriding the following env variables with writable directories, however,
grunt-bower seems to be ignoring these and still keeps using ~/.local and
therefor sails deployment fails.
XDG_DATA_HOME
XDG_CONFIG_HOME

Thanks for the response, yeah I dug a little deeper and found the right place to override XDG_DATA_HOME, XDG_CONFIG_HOME and it did work. I am using Openshift online as Pass and per their policy ~/.local is locked down for write. After going through grunt-bower code and the following link + hours of headache, It was fixed.
