Strange angular version resolving bug with bower install

Question

I\'m trying to update my angular version, and I think bower went just mad.

My deps :

    \"dependencies\": {
    \"underscore\":\"*\",
    \"momentj         


        

Answer 1

Instead of:

"angular": "~1.2.0-rc.2"

Try:

"angular": "=1.2.0-rc.2"

Might not be the right way to do it however but it solved a similar issue in my project.

Answer 2

Try adding this section to your bower.json:

"dependencies": {
  ...
},
"resolutions":{
  "angular": "1.2.0-rc.2"
}

Note: angular version in resolutions as same as version in dependencies.

Answer 3

I got the same problem with the latest bower version.

You can just do as the bower output prompts: Prefix the choice with ! to persist it to bower.json to choose one from the options provided. Then your bower.json will be updated with an additional "resolutions": { ... } block then the problem will be solved.
