为什么Bower总是下载v 1.5.9-build.5086 + sha…的Angular版本？

Question

I am using bower.json to manage my front end dependencies.. no matter however i specify the version of angular in bower i end up getting different version of angular library... Many of the functionality of my code are from previous version of angulars so the functions like $http.post.success() are depracted here and the code does not work. I need angular v 1.4.8 but it always downloads some other v1.5.9.build version. Here is how i tried downloading the package from bower.json

1) Mentioning the versions only..

"dependencies": {
"angular": "1.4.8",
"jquery": "2.1.4"
 },
"resolutions": {
"jquery": "2.1.4",
"angular": "1.4.8"

2) I tried this way as well giving the full path of the repo in github

"dependencies": {
"angular": "https://github.com/angular/bower-angular.git#1.4.8",
"jquery": "2.1.4"
 },
"resolutions": {
"jquery": "2.1.4",
"angular": "https://github.com/angular/bower-angular.git#1.4.8"

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Answer 1

So in my case apparently the problem was git from Visualt Studio Web Tools located at

C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\Web\External\git

With it, bower tries to install correct versions, but if you look into the bower cache you can see that actual downloaded files don't match.

Solutions

• Install Git for Windows
• Delete %USERPROFILE%\\AppData\\Local\\bower
• Restart Visual Studio
• Delete wwwroot/lib and Restore bower packages

You might need to change the point the path of current git.exe in VS

for that:
