running grunt-favicons task error

[jvandenrym]

When running the grunt-favicons task I get this error in the terminal. It clearly misses a module.
I am using the latest version of node.js: v0.11.13 (Ubuntu 14.04)

Loading "favicons.js" tasks...ERROR
>> Error: Cannot find module './build/Release/shell'

Getting this as well.

The same error here node v0.10.32 on mac mavericks

In my case the issue was Xcode (recently updated). Steps to solve the problem:

1. agree to the xcode license by opening it
2. trigger again sudo npm install grunt-favicons --save-dev

Doesn't work for me but going back to 0.6.1 does work for now.

Anyone could solve this?

Same issue, too.

I'm running node v0.12.0/Yosemite 10.10.2 and has this problem as well.

This method worked for me, but it's only a temporary fix. Would be great if the NPM package got an update with the latest commit. This problem is solved by this commit: 274e31a

1. Download the repo as zip.
2. Copy and replace the contents of the repo into the grunt-favicon folder inside your node_modules.
3. cd into the folder in the terminal and run npm install to install all dependencies.
4. Test if your grunt build process works ok.
5. Be happy.

That works for now, thanks @viktorbijlenga

Had the same problem. New version 0.7.0 works for me.

"grunt-favicons": "~0.7.0"
