gulp-bower filles up the "cwd" folder with bower dependencies

[karl-gustav]

gulp-bower filles up the "cwd" folder with bower dependencies (i.e. it doesn't use the "bower_components" folder)

This error exists both in version 0.0.8 and 0.0.9.

Our gulp bower config:

gulp.task('bower', function () {
    return $.bower({
        cwd: 'source/'
    }).pipe(gulp.dest('source/'));
});

1a816a129e5b1e28909731c32ce3c0af92dbb65d didn't fix the issue:-S My source/ dir is still full of bower dependencies...

i.e. I tested with 0.0.10 and the issue was still there. I even checked the node_modules/gulp-bower/index.js file to make sure that the changes from 1a816a129e5b1e28909731c32ce3c0af92dbb65d was there.

gulp.task('bower', function () {
    return $.bower({
        cwd: 'source/'
    }).pipe(gulp.dest('source/'));
});

1) bower work directory is 'source/' 2) bower path name in which installed components is 'bower_components'. Full path is 'source/bower_components' 3) bower load all dependencies in 'source/bower_components' 4) after all loaded gulp-bower create stream and send all loaded data from 'source/bower_components' to it 5) you pipe stream and out all data to 'source/'

It is not a bug.

[karl-gustav]

It might not be a bug but at the very least it's a change in behavior. Because the setup we have in gulp was the way you had to write it in gulp-bower < 0.0.8

[karl-gustav]

Or to be more specific the .pipe(gulp.dest('source/')) had no effect in gulp-bower < 0.0.8

[zont]

You cannot correct check this behavior on old versions because they has incorrect dependency of latest 'walk'

[karl-gustav]

That's easy to test, just use gulp-bower2 since that is how your codebase looked before 0.0.8, with the only difference being a fixed working version of walk...

But it doesn't matter, I have removed .pipe(gulp.dest('source/')) from our gulpfile.js and now everything works:-)
