bower install bardjs - empty dist dir

[ihorskyi]

$ bower install bardjs
$ ...
$ cd bower_components/bardjs/dist
$ ls

directory is empty

[wardbell]

I can't repro. Just tried a moment ago

$ bower install bardjs -f
... lots of stuff reported including ...
    bower download      https://github.com/wardbell/bardjs/archive/0.1.5.tar.gz

$ ls bower_components/bardjs/dist
bard-ngRouteTester.js  bard.js

I used the "-f" option to ensure I wasn't installing from the local bower cache

And I just went to the github source for the 0.1.5 release and it's got the goods.

Not sure how to explain our different experiences.

I WILL GIVE YOU ONE WEEK TO REPRO BEFORE I CLOSE THIS ISSUE

Thanks @wardbell, just tried 0.1.5 & 0.1.8 versions and they both have the same issue on my machine - bower won't unpack them correctly.

$ bower -v
1.4.1

Here is a log:

And this is how bardjs directory looks like after

bower_components/bardjs $ tree

However if I manually fetch it and unpack everything is fine

Just tried again and compared the bower output on my machine with yours. They are essentially identical and I have the two files in my dist folder; no bard.min.js and none expected.

I'm running bower v.1.4.1 as well.

I don't know what accounts for the difference. No one else has reported your experience and there are plenty of bardjs consumers out there.

I happen to be running on Windows at the moment; I've asked someone else try it on a mac and will report back.

Strongly suspect that there is something at your end.

Do you have a .bowerrc in the directory or up the path to the root? Could there be anything in it that might cause this behavior? I'm grasping at straws now.

I just did

$ bower cache clean bardjs
bower deleted       Cached package bardjs: /Users/pk/.cache/bower/packages/b5791e4afb06f829545b26749a0e0a18/0.0.9
bower deleted       Cached package bardjs: /Users/pk/.cache/bower/packages/b5791e4afb06f829545b26749a0e0a18/0.1.4
bower deleted       Cached package bardjs: /Users/pk/.cache/bower/packages/b5791e4afb06f829545b26749a0e0a18/0.1.5
bower deleted       Cached package bardjs: /Users/pk/.cache/bower/packages/b5791e4afb06f829545b26749a0e0a18/0.1.8

and after that it finally installs completely About .bowerrc, the only one I had in hottowel-angular-typescript project (that's where this issue originated from https://github.com/johnpapa/hottowel-angular-typescript/issues/15), it's content:

{
  "directory": "bower_components",
    "scripts": {
        "postinstall": "gulp wiredep"
    }
}

Sorry for confusion :)
