Multiple Grunt tasks not found

I am trying to build a yeoman generator and using the tutorial as a guide http://yeoman.io/generators.html#writing-your-first-generator

I copied the Gruntfile.js from the gist referenced and put it in my generator's template directory. When I generate the project, I run 

 npm install && bower install

then

 grunt test

Local Npm module "grunt-template-jasmine-requirejs" not found. Is it installed? Warning: Task "concurrent:test" not found. Use --force to continue.

 Aborted due to warnings.

It is not clear to me why Grunt concurrent:test is not found. Grunt finds the clean:test task. I tried commenting the concurrent task and none of the other tasks were found for "test" except "clean". Here is the task list

grunt.registerTask('test', [ 'clean:server', 'concurrent:test', 'autoprefixer', 'connect:test', 'karma' ]);

Good point jakerella I see now I was using different grunt file in my yeoman generator then I intended. When I replace Gruntfile.js with the one from the gist referenced in the yeoman tutorial, I get the same issue with a different task. Its says "watch" is not found.

$ ls node_modules/
bower                   grunt-contrib-compass           grunt-contrib-jshint            grunt-template-jasmine-requirejs

The only task I see in that gist that is referenced in your test multi-task is connect... you'll need to provide us with your actual Gruntfile in order for us to help. – Jordan Kasper

I had the same problem. I solved it by running: npm install grunt-x --save-dev replacing x with the name of the missing task repeatedly until done.

Incidentally I has first tried npm install -g grunt-x and that didn't work.

After some work at identifying dependencies, I was able to get this to work once I copied the entire foundation app directory and then used the foundation5 generator's index.js list of files to copy from the template directory as a guide to additional resources that were required by my generator. I think this may be a helpful way for anyone trying to repurpose existing generators and help identify Grunt dependencies.
