ECONFLICT Unable to find suitable version for angular

[mbtakanov]

When I write in GIT Bash:
$ bower install angularjs-toaster --save

The following appear:

bower requirejs#2.2.0           cached https://github.com/jrburke/requirejs-bower.git#2.2.0

As you can see the last row, I get an error.
And this is my bower.json:

{
  "name": "demo",
  "description": "demo",
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "private": true,
  "dependencies": {
    "angular": "1.5.3",
    "angular-ui-router": "ui-router#0.2.18",
    "gulp": "3.9.1",
    "bootstrap": "3.3.6",
    "components-font-awesome": "4.6.1",
    "requirejs": "2.2.0"
  }
}

Can anyone tell me what is the problem?

It looks like you have a cached version of Angular: 1.0.8. What happens if you uninstall it and clean your npm cache?

It's possible that this thread is related to your issue: bower/bower#866

[mbtakanov]

I tried the following:

1. $ bower cache clean -> same error when tried to install Toaster
2. $ bower cache clean angular#^1.0.8 -> same error when tried to install Toaster
3. $ bower cache list -> the result was:

angular=https://github.com/angular/bower-angular.git#1.5.3
angular=https://github.com/angular/bower-angular.git#1.5.5
angular-animate=https://github.com/angular/bower-angular-animate.git#1.5.5
angular-ui-router=https://github.com/angular-ui/ui-router.git#0.2.18
AngularJS-Toaster=https://github.com/jirikavi/AngularJS-Toaster.git#2.0.0
bootstrap=https://github.com/twbs/bootstrap.git#3.3.6
components-font-awesome=https://github.com/components/font-awesome.git#4.6.1
gulp=https://github.com/gulpjs/gulp.git#3.9.1
jquery=https://github.com/jquery/jquery-dist.git#2.2.3
requirejs=https://github.com/jrburke/requirejs-bower.git#2.2.0

And then I tried to install Toaster, but still conflict.
4) Deleted the folder C:\User\MyUser\AppData\Local\bower\cache\packages, but still same error.
5) Re-installed bower, same error appears.
6) Added the following in bower.json:

"resolutions": {
    "angular": "~1.5.x"
  }

It doesn't work as well.

7. Added manually "toaster": "2.0.0" in bower.json and re-install all bower components and it worked. So I can't really say why --save didn't worked. Any ideas (just of curiosity)?

[Stabzs]

When I used your bower.json file configuration and ran bower install angularjs-toaster --save, I received the following prompts:

Unable to find a suitable version for angular, please choose one:
    1) angular#1.5.3 which resolved to 1.5.3 and is required by demo
    2) angular#^1.0.8 which resolved to 1.5.3 and is required by angular-ui-router#0.2.18
    3) angular#>1.2.6 which resolved to 1.5.3 and is required by AngularJS-Toaster#2.0.0
    4) angular#1.5.5 which resolved to 1.5.5 and is required by angular-animate#1.5.5

Prefix the choice with ! to persist it to bower.json

It looks like the issue here is actually angular-animate#1.5.5. angular-animate is a dependency of AngularJS-Toaster if/when you need animations. However, because you have not specified a version in your bower.json file, it attempts to use the latest release, 1.5.5, instead of 1.5.3 which is specified by the other angular libraries you are using and in turn tries to depend on angular: 1.5.5. You can quickly and easily fix this by adding angular-animate to your bower.json file with a hard version number.

{
  "name": "demo",
  "description": "demo",
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "private": true,
  "dependencies": {
    "angular": "1.5.3",
    "angular-animate": "1.5.3",
    "angular-ui-router": "ui-router#0.2.18",
    "gulp": "3.9.1",
    "bootstrap": "3.3.6",
    "components-font-awesome": "4.6.1",
    "requirejs": "2.2.0"
  }
}

That was it. Issue solved.

but in console i am getting errors in aria.js, message.js.

@usmansaleh this doesn't sound like an AngularJS-toaster issue. That said I would recommend you try the same troubleshooting steps I outlined above.

[rohit-totala-enquero]

For Windows user, running using git bash in Windows, was causing this issue. Running bower cache clean and bower install on PowerShell resolved the issue.
