Grunt task fails with a fatal error - Mocha exploded! about pwabuilder-cli

This was the result of a regression in blanket (see alex-seville/blanket#491). We'll temporarily update the dependency in package.json to use an earlier version until this issue is fixed. Fixed by 0a587cc.

I'll take a look. What OS are you running it on?

Hi @dpundir.

You seem to have upgraded the blanket package to "1.1.7", which is the one that had this problem. You need to downgrade to "1.1.6". See my previous comment for this issue.

@f2bo: i wanted to report this issue not to use any workaround.

Unfortunately, the latest (published) version of blanket has a bug, which is the reason we decided to pin the dependency to 1.1.6 until they release a fix. However, the code in the master branch of the manifoldjs repository runs the tests without requiring any changes. I'm not sure I follow when you speak of workaround.

From the thread at alex-seville/blanket#491, it would seem that there's already a fix in blanket's master branch, but it hasn't been published to npm yet. We can update the dependency when that happens but until then, I'm not sure there's much else we can do.
