ngAnnotate fails on build

[ElliotPsyIT]

I was persuaded by your novel but quite intuitive angular project architecture (http://java.dzone.com/articles/improvising-angular-require) to give this starter project a try.

When running the default gulp to build the app, the process failed apparently from a ngAnnotate parsing error. I also noticed a OptionParser::InvalidOption error for 'style's, though I don't know its significance. I'm a relative newbie, so I don't know how to troubleshoot this particular error. I provide the backtrace for your review. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!

[10:49:59] Finished 'jshint' after 17 s
[10:49:59] Starting 'styles'...
[10:50:00] OptionParser::InvalidOption: invalid option: --sourcemap=none
  Use --trace for backtrace.
[10:50:01] Finished 'styles' after 1.06 s
[10:50:01] Starting 'compresscss'...
[10:50:01] Finished 'compresscss' after 4.27 ms
[10:50:01] Starting 'ngAnnotate'...

Thanks for giving this template a try, I'm going to make another major improvement on gulp very soon (over the weekend). However, this looks like sass installation issue. The 'styles' task, uses ruby sass to compile the sass/scss files. Can you install latest compass which I believe will also install sass as well. Let me know if that works for you. You can uninstall compass and sass before installing the latest version.

[sagar-ganatra]

Also, I'm not sure why ngAnnotate is throwing an error. Can you do a clean bower install again and see if that fixes this issue.

[ElliotPsyIT]

Here's the clean bower install I did after cloning the template. I can certainly do another bower install if you think it necessary:

And here are the currently installed versions of compass Compass 0.12.2 (Alnilam) and sass Sass 3.2.1 (Media Mark).

[ElliotPsyIT]

I have clean installed Compass Compass 1.0.3 (Polaris) and SASS Sass 3.4.14 (Selective Steve). Now gulp fails with this error:

[sagar-ganatra]

I think the vendor directory is not present and that's because bower-installer has not been run. Can you run bower-installer and then run gulp. I'm making major changes to the gulp build, making it more cleaner, please bare with me and wait till Monday. I'll also document the steps required for installation soon.

[ElliotPsyIT]

No problem. I'm happy to be a guinea pig :) I installed and then ran bower-installer and got this error. As you can see, it's a problem with the location of bower_components directory. In my installation that directory is under app and not under src. I may have run bower install from the wrong directory. Ok, I guess I'll wait til next week to get directions on installation.

[sagar-ganatra]

If you have moved the directories then the references should be updated. I have now made a change wherein there are multiple build script files that would run when run the gulp command. Also, now the files would be downloaded to .tmp directory and then installed in bower_components directory using bower-installer. You need not run bower-installer manually, it would be called by when you run bower install (post install option in .bowerrc)

If you see any issues with bower or npm package installations delete the .tmp and node_modules directory again and then try.
