Blank page after gulp serve:dist

[Mabuti]

Working with a clean clone of the repository I run the following:

git pull origin master npm install gulp watch gulp gulp serve:dist

Via the browser console I get the following errors:

Obviously I am able to resolve all but the vendor.css error by just placing all the missing scripts in the appropriate dist folder but I do not think that is an intended fix. Thoughts?

[flakyfilibuster]

looks like bower install didn't run - which is the obvious solution for all BUT the vendor.css problem ...

[joaomilho]

Had the same problem. Any update?

I had same problem - the issue is the bower components are in the "app" folder and not copied into the "dist" folder . I worked around it by manually copying the "bower_components" folder into the dist folder. See next screen shot.

I'm sure there is a better way - by updating the build process..

[surfjedi]

And a step better:

Add this task in gulp/build.js:

gulp.task('bowerjs', function() { return gulp.src('app/bowercomponents/*/_') .pipe(gulp.dest('dist/bower_components/')) });

Then add 'bowerjs' in the last build task at the end like below: gulp.task('build', ['haml', 'jade', 'html', 'partials', 'images', 'fonts', 'bowerjs']);

That will copy the files from the app folder to the dist folder on the gulp command, then run gulp serve:dist

This still isn't optimal but better, ideally you wire it up with wiredep but I haven't sorted that yet..

After following The More Powerful Way on a clean directory, doesn't work since <script> references in app/index.html expect bower_components to be in the same directory. Solution is similar to @surfjedi, but copy is in the other direction: copy root/bower_components to root/app, then it works.
