I want to use angular-cookies from bower but when I do:
bower install angular-cookies it sometimes fetches the one published by the angular team and sometimes some other old incompatible one from an independent author (angularify)
If I do manage to get the official one, then whenever I run bower install ... again, for some other reason, bower will switch the version of angular-cookies that I already have, breaking my application.
How can I do something like:
bower install --force https://github.com/angular/bower-angular-cookies
As the doc specifies - you can add something like:
"dependencies": {
"angular-cookies": "git://github.com/angular/bower-angular-cookies"
}
Which will cause bower to get the dependency from the git repo you want. You can also use git://github.com/angular/bower-angular-cookies#branch_name or git://github.com/angular/bower-angular-cookies#tag_name to specify a specific branch or tag.
See this question as well.
