Running the tests via a web browser works fine, but using grunt gives me errors. I struggle to understand what I'm doing wrong here. grunt tests fails with
$ grunt tests

You'll need to run your Node server as another step in your grunt process. There is a grunt task for specifically running Express servers, I'd recommend starting there. Here's what the grunt config might look like:
Then you'll want to run all three tasks as your "test" run. You can create an alias like so:
grunt.registerTask('tests', ['jsonlint', 'jshint', 'express', 'connect', 'qunit']);
