Underscore template not rendering variable with <%-

Question

I have a simple template:

<div class='welcome'>Welcome <%- first_name %>!</div>

However my variable first_name is not rendered. This works fine:

<div class='welcome'>Welcome <%= first_name %>!</div>

and this correctly logs the variable:

<div class='welcome'>Welcome <%- first_name %><% console.log(first_name);console.log(typeof(first_name)); %>!</div>

which is of type string as expected. I couldn't find anyone with the same problem in the community. Is there something obvious I'm missing?

For context, this is used in a Marionette app that takes care of displaying the template.

hum maybe requirejs-tpl which I use to load the template. I could not reproduce it in a jsfiddle... Here is my _.templateSettings {evaluate: /<%([\s\S]+?)%>/g, interpolate: /<%=([\s\S]+?)%>/g, escape: /<%-([\s\S]+?)%>/g} It seems to be the same than in underscore source code. — Guig

It was indeed an issue relater to requirejs-tpl. Thanks for pointing me to the right direction! — Guig

This is an issue related to requirejs-tpl. Here is a discussion of the issue

dawsontoth made a fix in his fork

To add it to your bower dependencies, add "requirejs-tpl-dawsontoth": "*", (it also depends on requirejs-text)
