Fatal error: Arguments to path.join must be strings

[mhulse]

Me:

# Grunt:
grunt-cli v0.1.13
grunt v0.4.5
# Node:
v0.10.29
# NPM:
1.5.0-alpha-1

Problem:

$ grunt bower
Running "bower:install" (bower) task
>> Cleaned target dir /.../source/files/plugins
bower not-cached https://github.com/WickyNilliams/headroom.js.git#*
bower resolve https://github.com/WickyNilliams/headroom.js.git#*
bower checkout v0.6.0
Fatal error: Arguments to path.join must be strings

I've tried both the Headroom git url and straight version number:

{
  "name": "simple-bower",
  "version": "0.0.0",
  "dependencies": {
    "headroom.js": "https://github.com/WickyNilliams/headroom.js.git"
  }
}

A quick Google found this issue:

sapegin/grunt-bower-concat#21

Component could be either filename or folder, we need folder.

Not sure what that means though.

Anyone else having a problem with the Headroom repo? The Headroom Bower file doesn't look abnormal to me. Should I report the problem via the Headroom repo instead? Is there something they could do to make their bower.json more compatible with grunt-bower-task?

Thanks!

I think the problem is related to this bower/bower#1403 which is fixed in v1.3.8. Problem is that grunt-bower-task is using ~1.2.0 so it won't install the new version.

Ah, thanks for the clarfication @johnkchiu, I really appreciate it. 👍

Looking like #116 then, is the way to go here. I'll close this one and make a comment in #116 with a "please update to v1.3.8" request.
