Error: Arguments to path.join must be strings while building gruntplugin template #70

Open robertrossmann opened 10 years ago

robertrossmann commented 10 years ago

While trying to grunt-init gruntplugin I am getting the following error: Fatal error: Arguments to path.join must be strings

This only seems to happen if I provide custom value to Project git repository question. If I leave it at default, the script finishes successfully.

UPDATE: Further testing revealed and @jchris confirmed that this is related to a misspelled value in the Licenses question. Not sure, however, why it would fail for BSD-3-Clause.

I have no idea where to look in the code base, but here's the full stack trace that is shown upon the error. If there's more info I can provide just let me know.

Thanks for your help!

I get this error when I misspell "Apache-2.0" in the setup prompt.

Just tested this and it really seems to be an issue with the license... If I leave it at default (MIT), the task will complete successfully even if I provide custom URLs.

What's wrong with BSD-3-Clause, though?
