Backstretch is a simple jQuery plugin that allows you to add a dynamically-resized, slideshow-capable background image to any page or element. The image will stretch to fit the page/element, and will automatically resize as the window/element size changes.

Bower broken? #466

Open niftylettuce opened 7 years ago

niftylettuce commented 7 years ago

You need to use [] array instead of {} for the ignore array in bower.json.

The error is Unexpected token , in JSON at position 596

Seeing the same issue

Also, shouldn't the repository url be https://github.com/jquery-backstretch/jquery-backstretch.git now? instead of the old fork url... ?

Feels like the whole bower.json needs to be updated.

srobbin commented 7 years ago

Looks like the ignore object/array issue was fixed back in October. The most recent version contains both these corrections.

Are you seeing this error when trying to do a bower update? If so, maybe Backstretch needs to be removed entirely, and then re-added. Maybe the JSON is unforgivingly fatal to that process.

The issue with the unexpected token in JSON is due to the encoding on the file which appears to be Western European. Changing this to unicode UTF-7 (Code Page 65000) fixed the issue for me. I'm sure ANSI would fix the issue as well.
