Problem with bower installing the latest version

[immortalcy]

I have noticed that I've been using angular-bootstrap 0.14.3 on a project and when I tired to find out the reason I couldn't.

My bower json is as follows:

    },
    "datatables": {

    },
    "material-design-iconic-font": {

  },

  },

  },

}

Using bower install or bower update the version of angular-bootstrap that gets installed is 0.14.3. When I tried to install version 1.3.2 explicitly I got the following error:

bower ECONFLICT Unable to find suitable version for angular-bootstrap

Am I missing something here?

[wesleycho]

You have dependencies with conflicting versions of UI Bootstrap specified.

Closing as a usage issue

[immortalcy]

Yes I am aware that there is something wrong. But from what I have read on the dependencies the project meets all the requirements.

Is there a way to find out the conflicts?

[wesleycho]

GitHub issues are specifically not a support venue - it is your responsibility to investigate each package for the conflict.

[immortalcy]

I totally understand what you are saying, but its only this package that says it depends on X and I see that I meet all the requirements that is why I posted here and because I wasn't able to figure out what is going on. What you suggest then is find the problem through trial and error?

Sorry if this approach was wrong - it was clearly not my intention.

[immortalcy]

I found out that angular-ui-router-tabs was causing the problem and the reason is this line: "angular-bootstrap": "^0.14.0"

Posting here just in case someone else is struggling.

FWIW master of angular-ui-router-tabs requires 0.14.0 but you haven't locked down most of your bower dependencies, which can be a recipe for disaster. If angular-ui-router-tabs is the issue, specifying 1.6.0 will solve your problem. I agree with @wesleycho and @immortalcy this isn't a angular-ui issue at all, please take up further issues elsewhere.

[immortalcy]

Thanks for pointing out about bower dependencies, I thought about locking down everything as well as soon as the project was released (v1) but since you are mentioning it I will do it from now.

Anyhow, specifying version 1.6.0 for angular-ui-router-tabs still gives the error ECONFLICT Unable to find suitable version for angular-bootstrap.

I am a bit confused here though. Isn't the caret ^ symbol that is keeping angular-boostrap to be on v0.14.3 since is the latest major release before 1.x.x ?
