Bower crashes with 1.2.6

[gryphon]

Getting the following error even if I request 1.2.5 (some dependencies seems to include angular >1.0.8 or so): "angular invalid version: 1.2.6-build.1989+sha.b0474cb"

It seems that bower version is broken in the latest angular-bower package releases.

Bower version is 1.2.8
OS: Ubuntu

Package:

Sorry, it was an issue of bower from circleci. Please close.

Hello, but how were you fix that problem?

[gryphon]

Just add line
npm update -g bower
as dependency to be executed before running tests.

What if I don't have bower installed globally?

I have the latest node, npm and bower. Still, it happens.

Having this same issue. Tried updating, tried re-installing, still failing :(.

[gryphon]

Seems to be not a good idea to have commit hash as bower version but newer bower versions play well with this issue. Make sure if you have bower installed globally.
