Bower - errore durante l'installazione del pacchetto "Argomenti su path.join deve essere stringhe"

Question

Ho appena creato un progetto di nodo e sto cercando di installare jquery usando bower.

bower install jquery 

ottengo il seguente errore:

bower jquery#*    not-cached git://github.com/jquery/jquery.git#* 
bower jquery#*     resolve git://github.com/jquery/jquery.git#* 
bower jquery#*     error Arguments to path.join must be strings

System info: 
Bower version: 1.3.7 
Node version: 0.10.29 
OS: Windows_NT 6.2.9200 x64 

Ho provato a installare altri pacchetti e falliscono con lo stesso errore. Ho un bel setup di vaniglia per quanto ne so. Esecuzione di Windows 8.1 x64. Non riesco a trovare informazioni pertinenti sul motivo per cui sto ricevendo questo errore.

Answer 1

Correzione: Clear cache and update to Bower 1.3.8.

This è quello che sta succedendo:

The tmp package updated it's API to return a cleanup callback in addition to just the directory name. Q then squashes the two arguments to the callback into an array, while bower expected just a string for the directory name.

This causes "TypeError: Arguments to path.join must be strings" errors to appear, seemingly non-deterministic, because various spots attempt to use the _tempDir value (now an array) to join into a path.

semver ftw!

Answer 2

Per le altre persone che sono ancora in esecuzione in questo, questo ha fatto il trucco per me:

bower cache clean 

Answer 3

Per me npm install -update bower non era sufficiente.

avevo bisogno di installare la versione da specificando che esplicito:

sudo npm install -q bower@1.3.8

e sì, ho dovuto correre questo con sudo.
