Ng-table: bower pitfall

Created on 19 Dec 2016 · 5Comments · Source: esvit/ng-table

Maybe a bit anoying, but:
We were working with ngTabele and bower for some time now. Started a release 0.8.3.
Now - after updating the project ngTable wasn´t working anymore.
From scanning the issues here I couild see, that bower is not supported anymore (beginning with what version?).
It took some time to figure this out, because 'bower info ng-table' lists versions up to 3.0.1.
bower is delivering something with version 3.0.1, but I have no idea, what to do with this.
Could´t there be a hint in the 'bower install' output?
Which version of ng-table is the latest, supporting bower? (need some time to swich to npm)
Thanks,
Uli

I took care of it. To install latest build just type:

bower install ng-table-bundle --save

Fork is available here: Greenek/bower-ng-table

Last supported vs for bower is 1.0.0.

Didn't realise that bower would continue to report every github release as a valid vs for bower... but then thinking about it that does makes sense.

Not sure if bower can be "told" about which version it should go up to. If not then it's a bit rubbish as this is totally confusing.

Thanks.
It might be usefull to completely unregister the package from the bower registry. 1.0.0 seems to be old enough and you are forcing me to switch to npm ;-)

Why bower is no longer supported?
