Bower install : Angular version problem

[WilliamChelman]

Using angular 1.4.7, when I try to install date-picker through bower, I get

bower angular-datepicker#* cached git://github.com/g00fy-/angular-datepicker.git#2.0.0
bower angular-datepicker#* validate 2.0.0 against git://github.com/g00fy-/angular-datepicker.git#*

bower angular#>=1.2.18 validate 1.4.7 against git://github.com/angular/bower-angular.git#>=1.2.18
bower ECONFLICT Unable to find suitable version for angular

In the bower.json, the dependencies are

"dependencies": {
"angular": "1.2.14",
"moment": "~2.10.6",
"moment-timezone": "~0.4.1"
},

Shouldn't it be "angular": ">=1.2.14" since it is supposed to work with angular 1.2+ ?

I think the angular version needs to be at least 1.3, as the library is using some features of angular which were added in 1.3

• $validators are used here and here.
  • I cannot find any official documentation that explicitly states what version of angular the $validators pipeline was added, but many blog posts mention that it is new in 1.3.
  • The docs for 1.2 make no mention of $validators.
  • The docs for 1.3 have information on $validators.
• $watchGroup is used in this PR in the date-range directive. Again, this is a feature of angularjs 1.3+
  • The docs for 1.2 makes no mention of $watchGroup.
  • The docs for 1.3 have information on $watchGroup.

If support for angular 1.2 is required, $validators and $watchGroup cannot be used, and must be replaced with something else.

Yes, but I use Angular 1.4.7, so there should not be compatibility issues with date-picker which requires 1.2+ no ? (the bower.json that I mentionned is the one of date-picker, sorry if I was not clear enough)

I have the same issue. Current bower.json has strict dependency on angular 1.2.14 and this does not work with 1.4.7.

I'm a little mad that this hasnt been fixed since it's so easy to there are probably a dozen pull requests for it.

Here's the simple fix for your environment:

add the following to your bower.json

"resolutions": {
"angular": "~1.4.7" <-- or whatever version of angular you are using
}

this will force bower to select the version of angular you want instead of being stuck with the 1.2 version the library uses.
