Question with github repo

[challgren]

Is there an example to use a bower package from a github repo? I've tried bower-github-asset/myrepo but I'm getting errors. All the standard bower plugins work fine.

[francoispluchino]

Can you give me your composer.json?

1. The plugin must be installed in global mode (composer global require fxp/composer-asset-plugin:1.0.0@dev)
2. Your vendor prefix bower-github-asset doest not exist, it must always be bower-asset
3. Your private repository (not registered in bower.io) must be added in extra.asset-repositories

[challgren]

1: Yes it is installed globally that line is to remind me on new systems.

2: "it must be always" I'm totally confused

[francoispluchino]

Sorry I am with my smartphone... The browser refresh the page by changing application. Refresh my previous comments.

[francoispluchino]

For 1, prefer the suggest section.

[francoispluchino]

For 3, you can see the doc Usage with VCS repository.

[francoispluchino]

Try bower-asset/startbootstrap-sb-admin-2, and it must be ok, normally.

[challgren]

I have and got errors which is why I was going the github route, the package was just published to bower about 2 hours ago

[francoispluchino]

You have an error with bower-asset/startbootstrap-sb-admin-2?

[challgren]

Yes, let me delete everything and start over. I'm thinking the package list for bower is cached.

[francoispluchino]

I'll test your project when I have a PC, if you do not have the solution by then.

[challgren]

I got it to work had to clear composer cache and delete all the installed composer packages.

[francoispluchino]

Ok, glad to know that everything works now for you.

[challgren]

Now I just have to track down why i have a fontawesome and font-awesome

[francoispluchino]

Your composer.json:

"bower-asset/fontawesome": "~4.2.0",

[challgren]

Ok so now I'm getting

Strange! I'll test your project when I have a PC.

[challgren]

It worked once! I'm gonna keep messing with it.

If I run bower info startbootstrap-sb-admin-2 it returns

C:\Users\Chris>bower info startbootstrap-sb-admin-2
bower startbootstrap-sb-admin-2#*           cached git://github.com/IronSummitMedia/startbootstrap-sb-admin-2.git#1.0.3
bower startbootstrap-sb-admin-2#*         validate 1.0.3 against git://github.com/IronSummitMedia/startbootstrap-sb-admin-2.git#*

{
  name: 'startbootstrap-sb-admin-2',
  version: '1.0.3',
  homepage: 'http://startbootstrap.com/template-overviews/sb-admin-2/',
  authors: [
    'David Miller'
  ],
  description: 'A free, open source, Bootstrap admin theme created by Start Bootstrap',
...

I had to add

"extra": {
        ...
        "asset-repositories": [
            {
                "type": "bower-github",
                "url": "git://github.com/IronSummitMedia/startbootstrap-sb-admin-2.git",
                "name": "bower-asset/startbootstrap-sb-admin-2"
            }
        ],
        ...

For the moment, override the configuration of asset repository (that you have already done). I'll look at why the plugin search the asset startbootstrap-sb-admin and not startbootstrap-sb-admin-2.

Fixed by 233150d0dcba1b1fef44c922b0abce43ccc356c0.

[challgren]

Thanks I'll test it shortly! I'm glad I submitted an issue or I would still be beating myself up with this issue.

[challgren]

Sweet it works!! I removed the asset-repositories and it works perfect!
