I'm getting a weird error after running npm run-script grunt in which it tell's me that node_modules/.bin/grunt fails.
I'm following a tutorial as im pretty new to Backbone (http://dailyjs.com/2012/11/29/backbone-tutorial-1/),
Here's my package.json file.
{
"name": "btask"
, "version": "0.0.1"
, "private": true
, "dependencies": {
"requirejs": "latest"
, "connect": "2.7.0"
}
, "devDependencies": {
"mocha": "latest"
, "chai": "latest"
, "grunt": "latest"
, "grunt-exec": "latest"
}
, "scripts": {
"grunt": "node_modules/.bin/grunt"
}
}
And here's a full transcript of the error.

grunt. util. _ is deprecated and we highly encourage you to npm install lodash and var _ = require('lodash') to use lodash .
Grunt is a JavaScript task runner, a tool used to automatically perform frequent tasks such as minification, compilation, unit testing, and linting. It uses a command-line interface to run custom tasks defined in a file (known as a Gruntfile). Grunt was created by Ben Alman and is written in Node.
Why Use Grunt? Grunt can perform repetitive tasks very easily, such as compilation, unit testing, minifying files, running tests, etc. Grunt includes built-in tasks that extend the functionality of your plugins and scripts. The ecosystem of Grunt is huge; you can automate anything with very less effort.
The tutorial that you are talking about uses grunt 0.3. Grunt has updated since then and if you use "grunt": "latest" in your package.json file then you will get grunt 0.4 by default.
You can go through the migration guide to get things working.
In order to just get grunt working for the tutorial you can do this -
npm install -g grunt-cli
npm install -g grunt-init
"grunt": "node_modules\\.bin\\grunt" in package.json to "grunt": "grunt"
grunt.registerTask('default', 'exec copy-require'); in Gruntfile.js to grunt.registerTask('default', ['exec','copy-require']);
npm run-script grunt as usual in command-line. Things should work fine now.You will get a build directory with r.js build.
If you still cannot get it working somehow with the above steps, you can change grunt: "latest" to grunt : "0.3" in your package.json file and run npm install in shell.
