How to set package latest version in Bower?

I was watching this nice video about requirejs, backbone and bower and something does not work for me. How can I set latest version of package in bower.json file? In video Jeff says that null should be used to define latest version like this 

{
    "name": "project name",
    "version": "1.0.0",
    "dependencies": {
        "backbone-amd": null,
        "underscore-amd": null,
        "requirejs": null
    }
}

But I have an exception in console that I can't use null value as version number. I couldn't find any info at bower wiki. Does anybody know how to solve this?

Solution

  • That should work.

    Make sure you are running the latest version of Bower. I am currently running v1.2.6 and null works to fetch the latest dependency.

    $ bower -v

    If you have installed bower globally via npm, then you can update it this way:

    $ npm update bower -g

    Note: you may need to run that as sudo depending on your file permissions.

    Hope this helps.
