jshint Error: Cannot find module 'underscore'

My grunt task seems to be running perfectly fine, but every time I run it I'm getting this error:

Loading "jshint.js" tasks...ERROR
>> Error: Cannot find module 'underscore'

Is there any way to find out why this is happening? I can see the /grunt-contrib-jshint directory is in the /node_modules directory. Is there any reason it can't find the underscore module? I've tried running npm install but I still get the same error when I run grunt.

Any ideas? Any help is appreciated.

If you are using Magento 2, then make sure that you did not accidentially deleted the file "package.json". If the file exist, then execute:

npm remove -g grunt grunt-cli && npm install -g grunt grunt-cli && npm install grunt --save-dev && npm install

Then you can test with

grunt refresh

Do the following:

npm update
npm install underscore

If that doesn't work do the following.

rm -rf node_modules
npm install -d
npm update

When you have cannot find module x errors, one thing that might help sometimes is deleting the whole npm_modules folder and just running npm install again.

Sometimes, on the initial npm install, it might of failed to get one dependency for a package and it won't try to get it again when you run npm install again, as it got all of the packages you wanted, just maybe not all the dependencies of those packages.
