javascript - grunt-contrib-handlebars output is different from handlebars npm task -

my issue similar grunt-contrib-handlebars - output different when run handlebars npm task, no 1 has answered question thought i'd start own.

i'm trying precompile handlebars template files js file. used handlebars npm task manually compile , website works fine npm generated output. run following command:

handlebars *.handlebars -f template.js  

which generated following:

    (function() {   var template = handlebars.template, templates = handlebars.templates = handlebars.templates || {}; templates['address-book-contact-form'] = template(function (handlebars,depth0,helpers,partials,data) {   this.compilerinfo = [2,'>= 1.0.0-rc.3']; helpers = helpers || handlebars.helpers; partials = partials || handlebars.partials; data = data || {};   var buffer = "", stack1, stack2, options, functiontype="function", escapeexpression=this.escapeexpression, self=this, helpermissing=helpers.helpermissing;     buffer += "<form class=\"dark-bg\">\n  <input type=\"hidden\" id=\"propertyid-input\" name=\"propertyid\" value=\"";   if (stack1 = helpers.propertyid) { stack1 = stack1.call(depth0, {hash:{},data:data}); }   else { stack1 = depth0.propertyid; stack1 = typeof stack1 === functiontype ? stack1.apply(depth0) : stack1; }   buffer += escapeexpression(stack1)     + "\"/>\n\n  ";   stack1 = self.invokepartial(partials['partial-overlay-nav'], 'partial-overlay-nav', depth0, helpers, partials, data);   if(stack1 || stack1 === 0) { buffer += stack1; }   buffer += "\n  \n <div class=\"property-fields-wrapper\">\n  <fieldset>\n    <div class=\"address-book-form row\"> \n      \n      <div class=\"span3\">\n        <h4>info</h4>\n        ";   options = {hash:{},data:data};   stack2 = ((stack1 = helpers.inputfield),stack1 ? stack1.call(depth0, "name", "business name", depth0.name, true, options) : helpermissing.call(depth0, "inputfield", "name", "business name", depth0.name, true, options));   if(stack2 || stack2 === 0) { buffer += stack2; }   buffer += "\n        ";   if (stack2 = helpers.addressbookcontacttypedropdown) { stack2 = stack2.call(depth0, {hash:{},data:data}); }   else { stack2 = depth0.addressbookcontacttypedropdown; stack2 = typeof stack2 === functiontype ? stack2.apply(depth0) : stack2; }   if(stack2 || stack2 === 0) { buffer += stack2; }   buffer += "\n        ";   ... 

now trying compile template files using grunt grunt-contrib-handlebars. , following output:

handlebars.template(function (handlebars,depth0,helpers,partials,data) {   this.compilerinfo = [4,'>= 1.0.0']; helpers = this.merge(helpers, handlebars.helpers); data = data || {};   var stack1, functiontype="function";     if (stack1 = helpers.addressbookcontactformpropertyitem) { stack1 = stack1.call(depth0, {hash:{},data:data}); }   else { stack1 = depth0.addressbookcontactformpropertyitem; stack1 = typeof stack1 === functiontype ? stack1.apply(depth0) : stack1; }   if(stack1 || stack1 === 0) { return stack1; }   else { return ''; }   })  handlebars.template(function (handlebars,depth0,helpers,partials,data) {   this.compilerinfo = [4,'>= 1.0.0']; helpers = this.merge(helpers, handlebars.helpers); data = data || {};      return "<div class=\"address-book-property-selection-wrapper\">\n <div class=\"dk_container dk_theme_default\" id=\"dk_container_address-book-properties-input\" style=\"display: block;\">\n     <a class=\"dk_toggle\"><span class=\"dk_label\">property</span></a>\n   </div>\n    <div class=\"address-book-properties-container\">\n     <div class=\"address-book-properties-search-container\">\n          <input type=\"text\" class=\"span3\" id=\"address-book-properties-search-input\" placeholder=\"\" />\n      </div>\n        <ul class=\"collection\"></ul>\n    </div>\n</div>";   })  handlebars.template(function (handlebars,depth0,helpers,partials,data) {   this.compilerinfo = [4,'>= 1.0.0']; helpers = this.merge(helpers, handlebars.helpers); partials = this.merge(partials, handlebars.partials); data = data || {};   var buffer = "", stack1, stack2, options, functiontype="function", escapeexpression=this.escapeexpression, self=this, helpermissing=helpers.helpermissing;     buffer += "<form class=\"dark-bg\">\n  <input type=\"hidden\" id=\"propertyid-input\" name=\"propertyid\" value=\"";   if (stack1 = helpers.propertyid) { stack1 = stack1.call(depth0, {hash:{},data:data}); }   else { stack1 = depth0.propertyid; stack1 = typeof stack1 === functiontype ? stack1.apply(depth0) : stack1; }   buffer += escapeexpression(stack1)     + "\"/>\n\n  ";   ... 

can shed advice on situation? cannot figure out why outputs different , how make grunt output same manual npm handlebars compile.

outputs different because compiler versions different.
