Grunt - Task "undefined" not found

I'm currently getting the same error for all tasks that I run via grunt. 

Initializing
Command-line options: --verbose
Reading "Gruntfile.js" Gruntfile...OK

Registering Gruntfile tasks.
Reading package.json...OK
Parsing package.json...OK
Initializing config...OK
Loading "Gruntfile.js" tasks...OK
+ build,default,nick,server,test

No tasks specified, running default tasks.
Running tasks: default

Running "default" task
Warning: Task "undefined" not found. Use --force to continue.

The last warning happens for any task I run.

Grunfile.js(important stuff): 

...
grunt.initConfig({
    jshint: {
        options: {
            jshintrc: '.jshintrc'
        },
        all: [
            'Gruntfile.js',
            '<%= yeoman.app %>/scripts/{,*/}*.js',
            '!<%= yeoman.app %>/scripts/libs/{,*/}*.js'
        ]
    },
    ...
});
...
grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-contrib-jshint');
grunt.registerTask('nick', [ ]);

grunt.registerTask('default', [
    'jshint'
]);

running jshint by itself works fine..

grunt jshint 
>Running "jshint:all" (jshint) task
>> 52 files lint free.
>>
>>Done, without errors.

Done, without errors.

Any help? Let me know if there is any other info you need to help.

Nick.

Another potential cause of this problem is having double commas in a Gruntfile.js's registerTask section. For instance:

grunt.registerTask('dist', ['clean',, 'uglify:dist']);

Note that this will also produce the same error:

grunt.registerTask('dist', ['clean', /*unnecessarytask */, 'uglify:dist']);

I had the same issue and all I needed to do was update grunt with:

npm --global update grunt-cli
