bower register new version

Question

I register a version of my "angular-backstrech-adrr" to bower:

bower register angular-backstrech-adrr [email protected]:AladdinMhaimeed/angular-backstrech-adrr.git

this is bower.json:

{
  "author": "Aladdin Mhaimeed",
  "name": "angular-backstrech-adrr",
  "version": "1.0.4",
  "main": "angular-backstretch.js",
  "dependencies": {
          "jquery": ">2.0.0",
          "jquery-backstretch": "https://raw.github.com/srobbin/jquery-backstretch/master/jquery.backstretch.min.js"
  }

}

Bower says it is successfully registered, but when I use:

bower info angular-backstretch-adrr 

It says there is no version available.

If I change the version and try to register again, I get: EDUPLICATE

Is there something wrong in the bower.json? Anything wrong with the syntax?

Answer 1

Your package only needs to be registered once. The versions are drawn from your Git tags. From the Bower documentation:

Your package must be available at a Git endpoint (e.g., GitHub); remember to push your Git tags!

Not to worry, I had no idea what this meant either. After poking around a bit, I stumbled across this.

Here's the quick and easy way to solve your problem... from your project's root directory run:

% git tag v1.0.4

If you type:

% git tag

you'll see the version you just created. Now push your Git tags:

% git push origin v1.0.4

Now when you run bower info angular-backstretch-adrr, you'll see the version you just pushed.

Answer 2

Above answer is correct except v in front of version is incorrect.

//Incorrect
% git tag v1.0.4

//Correct
% git tag 1.0.4

Now push it. Github also complains when try to put v in front of tag.
