grunt-contrib-jshint not show message

Question

i have created a ne node project, i have installed a lot of modules and create the first index.js file

package.json

{
  "name": "parser-test",
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "description": "parser test",
  "main": "index.js",
  "scripts": {
    "test": "echo \"Error: no test specified\" && exit 1"
  },
  "author": "luca bottoni",
  "license": "ISC",
  "dependencies": {
    "node-cmd": "^3.0.0"
  },
  "devDependencies": {
    "grunt": "^1.0.1",
    "grunt-contrib-jshint": "^1.1.0",
    "grunt-contrib-watch": "^1.0.0",
    "grunt-exec": "^3.0.0"
  }
}

index.js (it's failed, because i want see jshint message!)

console.log("test");
a={a=6};

if i send the cmd jshint index.js from project folder i see (work fine):

index.js: line 3, col 5, Expected ':' and instead saw '='.
1 error

now i want use the grunt task to check my file

Gruntfile.js

module.exports = function(grunt) {
    // Project configuration.
    grunt.initConfig({
                     pkg:  grunt.file.readJSON('package.json'),
                     watch:{
                         scripts:{
                             files:["./*.js"],
                             tasks:['jshint']
                         }
                     },
                     jshint: {
                         files: ['Gruntfile.js',"index.js"]
                     }
                 });
// Load the plugin that provides the "uglify" task.
grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-contrib-watch');
grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-contrib-jshint');
// Default task(s).
grunt.registerTask('default', ['watch:scripts']);
grunt.registerTask('jshint', ['jshint']);
};

now i try use single task jshint with command grunt jshint, but the don't see any message. if i use the watch, watch task only the first time and after not check any change on file index.js.

i can not understand why the direct command jshint work, but the task grunt stay freezed

i have resolved after many test

i have turn-on verbose information on grunt command

grunt jshint --verbose and i have see infinite:

Running "jshint" task

The register task and task in definition have the same name "jshint" and i have modified the name in grunt.registerTask('jshints', ['jshint']);

now work fine
