On Windows bower and node_modules is being created as files instead of folders

[JohnGalt1717]

Is there any way to work around this as the process fails when used on windows as a result.

Thanks!

is this a grunt-contrib-requirejs problem or this some npm problem?

[JohnGalt1717]

Happens only in grunt-contrib-requirejs when it rebuilds to folder structure.

[vladikoff]

weird!

[JohnGalt1717]

That's what I said.

Inside the files that it creates are:

../../bower_components

and

../../node_modules

respectively.

Like it's trying to create symbolic links or something?

so the problem I am seeing is similar to a problem i solved with "follow: true" in things like grunt-contrib-copy and grunt-contrib-sync. if there is no way to configure "follow symbolic links" in the grunt-contrib-requirejs task config options, i will have to just hard code "node_modules/@bower_components/almond/almond" instead of using the symlink. i'd like to know if there is a solution for following symlinks or if i just have to change the module "name" to point to the right file.
