grunt serve error?

Roundy · September 8th, 2015, 11:42 PM

Hello,

I'm trying to setup the StockDog project and everything seems to go fine until I attempt to run

Code:

grunt serve

command, at which point it ends up like this instead of launching the local development server inside my browser.

Does anybody know what may be going wrong? Does it have something to do with the 'Cannot find where you keep your Bower packages' error toward the bottom? I'm also concerned about the 'No versions found in git://..." error.

Thank you

I experienced the exact same error.

Running "wiredep:app" (wiredep) task
Cannot find where you keep your Bower packages.

The book mentions that the StockDog folder should have a folder named bower_components after running yo angular StockDog. I do not.

Can anyone help us?

I have resolved my issue. Hopefully this helps you Roundy.

Even though I had previously installed git, my instincts told me that this had something to do with git. So I reinstalled git and started over again. This time I did end up with a folder named bower_components and the grunt serve worked like a charm.

Thanks! I realized that I was downloading git for maverick but I have snow leopard so I tried an older version and that seems to have done the trick

I tried reinstalling GIT for windows from the url mentioned in the book and tried re-installing it. Still didn't get "bower_components" folder, and

Code:

grunt serve

still throws the same error.
Realized, i need to run

Code:

bower install

and

Code:

npm install

to get the folders, "node_modules", "bower_components". On running bower install i got the following error, "bower ENOGIT git is not installed or not in the PATH". tried re-installing GIT again, restarted cmd prompt, ran bower install and npm install.. Working now!
