Question

The following command works:

svn co http://google-maps-utility-library-v3.googlecode.com/svn/tags/infobox/1.1.9 foobar

When I try and use bower to fetch the same code I put the following int the dependencies section of my bower.json:

"infobox": "svn+http://google-maps-utility-library-v3.googlecode.com/svn/tags/infobox/1.1.9"

Bower fails with:

bower infobox#*             not-cached svn+http://google-maps-utility-library-v3.googlecode.com/svn/tags/infobox/1.1.9#*
bower infobox#*                resolve svn+http://google-maps-utility-library-v3.googlecode.com/svn/tags/infobox/1.1.9#*
bower infobox#*                ECMDERR Failed to execute "svn list http://google-maps-utility-library-v3.googlecode.com/svn/tags/infobox/1.1.9/tags --verbose", exit code of #1

Bower appends /tags to the path it passes to svn list. How do I make bower use the exact path I specify?

Was it helpful?

Solution

Best I could do for now is to install the entire infobox tag folder, so you would have to pick the 1.1.9/ folder inside there.

    "infobox": "svn+http://google-maps-utility-library-v3.googlecode.com/svn#infobox"

I'm almost sure that Bower does not support nested tag folders like these, as the entire project is based on Git that has a more strict logic for tags.

Hope this helps,
