The gulpfile.js generated, crashes on gulp serve, if the src contains some style.css.
The error is

events.js:160
throw er; // Unhandled 'error' event
^
Error: Error in parsing: "style.css", Line 1: Unexpected token .

I found that following line in the sample task is the culprit,

var files = gulp.src(['src/**/*.js', 'src/**/*.css', 'src/**/*.less', '.tmp/dist/*.js'])
                  .pipe($.if('*.js', $.angularFilesort()));

It invokes $.angular even on CSS.
This exists even if published widgets like adf-widget-clock
I have made following change and it works.

  var files = gulp.src(['src/**/*.js', '.tmp/dist/*.js'])
                  .pipe($.if('*.js', $.angularFilesort()));

  files.push(gulp.src(['src/**/*.css', 'src/**/*.less']));

Hope this post helps for rectification and someone facing the same issue.

Just a note: I used the normal commands to install the generator

npm install -g generator-adf-widget

And it seems to default to an older version that has a dependency on the gulp-if version that is buggy and will break builds. Took a while to figure out what exactly was broken. Then I realized you have a git tag #3.3 which points to a very recent version of gulp-if. I typed yo, and went through the process of telling it to upgrade this generator through their menu and it told me it was now at [email protected].

So for anyone searching, upgrade this generator if it defaults to an old one and your JS is being put in angular $templateCache.

Also, if anyone downloads copies of the adf-widgets, such as iframe or clock, their package.json files also point to the buggy gulp-if @ ^1.2.5. So if you try to fork those, change the gulp-if dependency to something after 2.x so the build of the widget works correctly.

I know adf 0.11.0 works well with angular 1.4.9.

I cannot seem to make this widget generator work with an updated angular version.
Also, this requires adf version 0.8.0 instead of 0.11.0...

I tried to modify the bower.json to have "angular-dashboard-framework": "0.11.0" and ran bower install.

This updated adf to 0.11.0 (and some other dependancies) so after running gulp serve again I'm getting errors:
knockout-sortable.js:157 Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'bindingHandlers' of undefined

How can I develop new widgets with adf 0.11.0 and angular >= 1.4.9 ?
Thanks in advance!

I am using this generator to create many different widgets. It works well but...:

Last phases of this generator are commands 'npm install & bower install'. This creates, among others, a folder named 'node_modules' which is almost 50MB in size. Should those (mainly gulp) tools not be installed globally by npm?... and not in a folder inside this widget project folder so as not to repeat in each widget project folder?

Or do I have some kind of problem with my npm installation? any comments or help on this would be appreciated ! thanks!

EDIT: Below are the packages that seem to be needed... what if i install each of them manually with the "-g" switch? will that keep this folder almost empty the next time I setup a new widget with this generator?

Hi,

I am trying to install the generator, but I get the following error:

$ npm install -g generator-adf-widget
npm WARN deprecated [email protected]: the module is now available as 'css-select'
npm WARN deprecated [email protected]: the module is now available as 'css-what'
/Users/roozbeh/.nvm/versions/node/v5.1.0/lib

└── UNMET PEER DEPENDENCY yo@>=1.0.0

npm WARN EPEERINVALID [email protected] requires a peer of yo@>=1.0.0 but none was installed.
$ yo --version
1.5.0

I have Yo version 1.5.0 installed, so I should not see this error, no? Or am I missing something obvious?

Thanks.
