wiredep doesn't get bower files injected after app is generated for first time

[deepu105]

Isnt this suppose to be triggered after app generation, doesnt seems to work atleast in windows.

Need to take a closer look

[jdubois]

That would be a big issue, yes please post updates on your findings!

[deepu105]

can someone confirm if this works in linux/mac ?

[gmarziou]

Works on linux ubuntu with both gulp and grunt

[deepu105]

@gmarziou then this might be another windows only issue :(

[deepu105]

this is weird it seems to be working now. I can vouch that it didnt work last few times i tried.

[atomfrede]

@deepu105 When I was testing my windows machine (the gradle gatling stuff) I've seen it too (I think). After generating the app, all bower files where missing from index.html. After doing grunt serve everything was fine, but I didn't dig any deeper.

[gmarziou]

There are often beginners (not your case of course) who post issues about seeing only footer, most of the times they did not follow the doc or had an error duirng installation that they did not notice.

We could avoid these issues if the index.html contained a help section that would show only if angular app did not successfully intialize.

That would be a smoke test and in case of error there could be a link to a section of the online documentation.

[atomfrede]

@gmarziou Sounds like a reasonable idea. Will check if I can reproduce it on windows next week (as you said it works on linux, same for me here)

[jdubois]

@deepu105 @atomfrede @gmarziou you can have Windows 10 preview for free on a VirtualBox machine, and the rumors is that it will stay free after the preview...

[deepu105]

Since i had windows 8 im getting 10 for free on 29th july anyways

[gmarziou]

So finally Armageddon is for July 29th ;)

[deepu105]

Im reopening this issue, coz this seems to be appearing on and off, I still dont know how to reproduce, but randomly this happens.
May be this is only in windows but given the unstable nature i doubt. This is a very bad thing for new comers and should be fixed

[deepu105]

I guess a sure shot way is to bind the these two tasks into the mavan or gradle build so that it is not missed

[andidev]

Grunt build is run from at least maven and it should inject the files.

[atomfrede]

I've created two projects just now on windows 8 (one with maven, one with gradle) and both times wiredep injected all files.

[deepu105]

@atomfrede for me its working on and off and i dont know whats causing this behavior im on windows 8 as well. had an embarrassing moment coz of this when i was doing the JH demo to Singapore spring user group earlier

[atomfrede]

anybody able to reproduce it?

[jdubois]

it looks like nobody is able to reproduce this, so I'm closing it.

if somebody got the same error in windows and google to this page like me, I got it solve by first performing:

• download and install python https://www.python.org/downloads/
• download and install build tool http://www.visualstudio.com/downloads/download-visual-studio-vs#d-build-tools
• setup search path, so that node-gyp can find python

Then perform the installation steps:

• npm install -g yo
• npm install -g bower
• npm install -g generator-jhipster

and the wiredep works again for:

• yo jhipster

[deepu105]

Thats interesting

@mallim Your instructions should mention that it's Python 2.7.x that you must install not Python 3.x

[mallim]

@gmarziou In fact, I installed Python 3.X, my environment as follows:

• Windows 8.1
• npm 2.11.3
• node 0.12.7

[gmarziou]

Well I think you should re-consider it, I recently had to downgrade Python on a co-worker's PC for the reason below:

There's a well known and very old gyp issue and as a consequence node-gyp does not support Python 3 either, even NodeJS requires gyp to build.
