Cannot call method template of undefined about grunt-contrib-handlebars HOT 8 CLOSED

I have this same problem.

If you don't mind calling the template function manually in your code, you can pass the option wrapped: false to stop the function from being wrapped in a Handlebars.template() call.

handlebars: {
            compile: {
                options: {
                    namespace: 'SST',
                    processPartialName: function (filePath) {
                        var pieces = filePath.split("/");
                        return pieces[pieces.length - 1];
                    },
                    amd: true,
                    wrapped: false
                },
                files: {
                    "source/javascripts/templates/thing.js": "source/templates/thing.hbs"
                }
            }
        }

define(['handlebars'], function (Handlebars) {

    this["SST"] = this["SST"] || {};

    this["SST"]["source/templates/thing.hbs"] = function (Handlebars, depth0, helpers, partials, data) {
        this.compilerInfo = [2, '>= 1.0.0-rc.3'];
        helpers = helpers || Handlebars.helpers;
        data = data || {};


        return "<div class=\"notfoundevents\"><p>No events for you</p></div>";
    };

    return this["SST"];

});

I got a same problem.
For now, I solve this by init function.

shim: {
    handlebars: {
      exports: 'Handlebars',
      init: function() {
        this.Handlebars = Handlebars;
        return this.Handlebars;
      }
    }
}

monzou's solution works fine for us, thank you!

What I do not understand is: why does it work?
In says in the RequireJS API Doc:

In RequireJS 2.0.*, the "exports" property in the shim config could have been a function instead of a string. In that case, it functioned the same as the "init" property as shown above. The "init" pattern is used in RequireJS 2.1.0+ so a string value for exports can be used for enforceDefine, but then allow functional work once the library is known to have loaded.

So, if I understand it correctly, the "init" works like the "exports", but it is a function rather than a string. But doesn't the "exports" do just that? Register "Handlebars" globally?
I think I am missing something, so please help me. Why does your solution work?

@monzou thank you! I've been hunting this one down for days. Wasn't entirely sure which grunt task was producing the bug. And to be honest I'm not entirely sure it is grunt-contrib-handlebars. I had to use your solution for Marionette as well, so I'm starting to think this is a bug with grunt-contrib-requirejs or maybe requirejs itself...
Thanks again!

@monzou Thank you so much. It works!

@creynders I don't believe it is a grunt-contrib-handlebars problem. I just came across this same issue, and my project does not have it installed yet.

@emilio-janzen I too, would love to know why this works.

Added to my config.js for require and worked like a charm. Resolved my error Uncaught TypeError: Cannot call method 'template' of undefined for now. -- Thanks
