Bower config override setting ignored

Question

I have created a .bowercc file with the following setting:

{
   "directory" : "./src/libs/bower_components"
}

My .bowercc file is installed in the projects root... folders/files are:

node_modules
src
src/libs
src/libs/bower_components
bower.json
.bowercc

No matter what I do, every time I define a dependency, bower creates a bower_components folder at the root level, and installs the component there, instead of in src/libs/bower_components. According to the bower docs, just having a .bowercc file at the root should overribe the global config. What am I doing wrong?

I've tried:

• "directory" : "./src/libs/bower_components"
• "directory" : "/src/libs/bower_components"
• "directory" : "src/libs/bower_components"

I've also tried adding the directory setting to the bower.json file.

Rename the config file to .bowerrc. ".bowercc" is incorrect.
