Issues with platform version resolution with Bower and 0.2.1 #440
Description
Activity
This is the bower.json from my bower-installed polymer:
{ "name": "polymer", "description": "Polymer is a new type of library for the web, built on top of Web Components, and designed to leverage the evolving web platform on modern browsers.", "homepage": "http://www.polymer-project.org/", "keywords": [ "util", "client", "browser", "web components", "web-components" ], "author": "Polymer Authors <polymer-dev@googlegroups.com>", "version": "0.2.1", "main": [ "polymer.js" ], "dependencies": { "platform": "Polymer/platform#0.1.4" } }Which isn't the same as https://github.com/Polymer/polymer/blob/master/bower.json
The reason for this mismatch is that the Polymer package in the Bower registry is
components/polymer. In there for 0.2.1 we have platform 0.1.4 as the dependencyIn
Polymer/polymerthe dependency is set correctly to 0.2.1.@azakus why the two different repositories with different state?
Ugh, looks like a merge fail into the
components/polymerrepo.@bergie The reason there are two repos is legacy from when
Polymer/polymerwas a source repository and not just builds. It is a manual process to change where the endpoint is.I've fixed the version issue in the bowerable repo, but it requires that you
bower uninstall polymer, thenbower cache clean polymer platform.After that,
polymerwill install with the correct version of platform.Sorry for the inconvenience.
@addyosmani Can you help move bower/bower#120 (comment) along so we can drop the
components/polymerrepo?
I'm seeing this quite a bit with
bower install:So for whatever reason, it looks like Bower is resolving the dependency sometimes to 0.1.4, and sometimes 0.2.1. With 0.1.4 you get a crash when Polymer loads.
The current solution is to force dependency resolution to latest via
bower install -F, but even then you do see this message:but at least Polymer is usable.
I've stated the Polymer dependency to
0.2.1, and Polymer is the only package I'm using that depends onplatform.
