Bower Error: Unable to find suitable version for angular

Question

I'm using bower in Visual Studio 2012 and I could migrate most JS/CSS libraries from NUGET to Bower but there's a few I cannot update, getting the same error on all. I'm new to bower so there might be something I'm missing maybe? I did tried to add the resolutions to my bower.json but still give me similar errors.

My bower.json

{
  "name": "Web",
  "version": "0.0.0",
  "ignore": [
    "**/.*",
    "node_modules",
    "bower_components",
    "test",
    "tests"
  ],
  "dependencies": {
    "angular": "~1.3.11",
    "bootstrap": "~3.3.2",
    "jqueryui": "~1.11.2",
    "requirejs": "~2.1.15",
    "fontawesome": "~4.3.0",
    "angular-smart-table": "~1.4.9",
    "angularjs-toaster": "~0.4.10",
    "angular-local-storage": "~0.1.5",
    "angular-translate": "~2.5.2",
    "angular-cookies": "~1.3.11",
    "angular-translate-loader-static-files": "~2.5.2",
    "angular-loading-bar": "~0.6.0",
    "oclazyload": "~0.5.2"
  }
}

This is for angular-translate-storage-cookie

Answer 1

I got the same problem but when I run bower update. It did the trick for me.

Answer 2

After some more research and trying I found out a solution and is simple. Instead of running bower install library -save I did added the latest versions of the libraries directly to my bower.json and added the resolutions as squiroid said on his answer as follow

{
  "name": "Web",
  "version": "0.0.0",
  "ignore": [
    "**/.*",
    "node_modules",
    "bower_components",
    "test",
    "tests"
  ],
  "dependencies": {
    "bootstrap": "~3.3.2",
    "jqueryui": "~1.11.2",
    "requirejs": "~2.1.15",
    "fontawesome": "~4.3.0",
    "oclazyload": "~0.5.2",
    "angular": "~1.3.11",
    "angular-route": "~1.3.11",
    "angular-cookies": "~1.3.11",
    "angular-bootstrap": "~0.12.0",
    "angular-local-storage": "~0.1.5",
    "angular-loading-bar": "~0.6.0",
    "angular-smart-table": "~1.4.9",
    "angular-translate": "~2.5.2",
    "angular-translate-loader-static-files": "~2.5.2",
    "angular-translate-storage-cookie": "~2.5.2",
    "angular-translate-storage-local": "~2.5.2",
    "angularjs-toaster": "~0.4.10",
    "angularAMD": "~0.2.1"
  },
  "resolutions": {
    "angular": "~1.3.x",
    "angular-cookies": "~1.3.x"
  }
}

Then you just run bower install and they will be added because are missing.

Answer 3

You should provide version with each command :-

UPDATE with compatible version

  bower install angular-bootstrap#0.1.0 --save
  bower install angularAMD#0.0.1 --save
    ..etc
