[akinolu52]

pls can someone show me how his/her bower.json file looks like

and what version of angular is this laravel5-angular-material-starter using?

[flick36]

You show yours, i'm pretty sure you are not letting bower install finish, therefore gulp can't compile propertly...

[akinolu52]

bower.json

{
  "name": "laravel5-angular-material-starter",
  "authors": [
    "Jad Joubran <jad@jadjoubran.com>"
  ],
  "ignore": [
    "**/.*",
    "node_modules",
    "bower_components",
    "test",
    "tests"
  ],
  "dependencies": {
    "angular": "~1.5",
    "angular-ui-router": "~1.0.0-alpha.3",
    "ngstorage": "~0.3.10",
    "angular-material": "~1.0.8",
    "restangular": "~1.5.2",
    "angular-loading-bar": "~0.9.0",
    "satellizer": "^0.14.0"
  }
}

[flick36]

Oops, sorry somehow i miss your response, can you post a screenshot of the error? is it something like this? #452

[jadjoubran]

Hi @akinolu52
When you're asked about a resolution, did you choose a specific version of Angular?
You should choose one that makes sense and prefix it with ! to persist that in your bower.json

Well this issue hasn't been fixed ?
