Error when installing px-data-table bower component

Question

When I try to bower install --save px-data-table in my Angular 2 app, I get the following error:

bower ECONFLICT Unable to find suitable version for webcomponentsjs

Unaware how to fix this, considering I do not have webcomponentsjs installed (I checked both my package.json and my bower.json.

Answer 1

Looks like running the command with the --force-latest flag fixed the issue for me. Full command: bower install --force-latest --save px-data-table.

Still looking for clarification here if anyone can explain why bower was not looking for the latest version by default.

Answer 2

This is how bower works for all components, not specific to Predix. Sounds like your application has one component that depends on version X of webcomponentsjs, and another component that depends on version Y of webcomponentsjs. If you run bower install manually, you should see the components with conflicts. Then you can modify or lock in versions of those components. Hope this helps.
