Gulp Error: Unrecognised input. Possibly missing opening

[FreakTheMighty]

When I run gulp in the root of the project I get this error:

I'm not very familiar with gulp, but it appears the less task is attempting to glob a directory that isn't there with this line var _less = DEV_DIR + 'css/**/*.less';.

Hello.

Do you have anything inside your client/dev/css folder?

[FreakTheMighty]

@ericmdantas I do

$ ls client/dev/css/
events.less         media_queries.less
fonts.less          position.less
frameworks_overrides.less   styles.less

I don't see the file it is complaining about time-tracker/css/styles.min-04deeee6.css

[ericmdantas]

Alright, I'll take a look at it when I get home.

[ericmdantas]

I did get the error at first, but then it didn't happen again.

[ericmdantas]

Turns out the problem is with bootstrap's version 3.3.5 version.

Could you please change the version of your bootstrap in the bower.json?

From:

"bootstrap": "~3.3.1",

To:

"bootstrap": "3.3.1",

and the run bower install again, please.

[ericmdantas]

Also, here's the bootstrap issue.

[FreakTheMighty]

👍 that worked, thank you

[ericmdantas]

Good to know =]

Note, this was a breaking issue for me installing via npm install -g generator-ng-fullstack as per the documentation. Given it's now fixed in master, I'd very much recommend doing a new release ASAP so as not to dissuade new users, or at least signpost this issue in the README.

Super cool generator otherwise! Looking forward to using it!

[ericmdantas]

@Aendrew Hello, thanks!

It should be fixed now, it's been a while as bootstrap 3.3.1 in the bower.json.

[aendra-rininsland]

Odd; I got 1.4.0 from a NPM install, but now have 1.5.1-0 via npm install generator-ng-fullstack@latest. Not sure why it gave me the older version (maybe you need to do a npm publish? No idea.); apologies, working fine now, please disregard!

[ericmdantas]

That's probably because of the pre-release thing, I'm moving some things around and I'll release the 1.5 soon.
