Requirejs:dist failed, Loader plugin did not call the load callback in the build: text

Question

I'm using yeoman and grunt build fails at requirejs:dist with the error "Loader plugin did not call the load callback in the build: text".

I've seen the question here but updating requirejs didn't help me. Console output below:

Version 2.1.10 of r.js improved the error reporting. You will probably find, like I did, that your supplemental HTML files (register.html and forgotpassword.html) aren't being copied to .tmp like you want them to be. I'm working on the configuration issues for that right now, but it's probably easier to just have a backbone view load an ejs that has no substitutions.
