Bootstrap script not being injected

[jnwelzel]

Hi!

Thanks for your awesome generator, it has made life a lot easier for me!

I recently deployed an app to production using yo angular-fullstack:heroku, but I noticed that the bootstrap-related javascript was not being loaded as I tried to open a modal. I declared the bootstrap .js file as a bower dependency in index.html and all...

I tried looking around the config files etc, but I'm pretty new to this frontend stack and couldn't figure out what could be wrong. I'd appreciate any input on this.

Thanks!

Take a look at @kingcody comment in issue #554.

[jnwelzel]

Thanks for your reply @remicastaing but unfortunately it didn't solve the problem. I added <script src="bower_components/bootstrap/js/modal.js"></script> to the index.html file, removed the /bootstrap.js entry from the wiredep config entry like suggested in the issue you mentioned but after running grunt serve or any other build command the bootstrap js declaration gets removed from the html file.

@jnwelzel can you confirm that bootstrap is listed as a dependency in bower.json and that it is installed at client/bower_components/bootstrap?

Also, in client/index.html everything between injector or bower comment tags is automatically generated on every build/serve, that's why your custom entry was being overridden. However, you shouldn't need one.

Hi @kingcody thx for your input.
Below are two images that answer your questions:

@jnwelzel, haha. A simple "yes" would have sufficed :)

So wiredep isn't injecting bootstrap.js into your index.html, even after removing the regexp from the exclude array?

[jnwelzel]

Ok, so after all my previous attempts, I decided to try one more time the removing the regexp from the exclude array approach and this time it worked. Only thing that's different from yesterday is that I updated Bower from 1.3.9 to 1.3.10. I really don't know what else to tell ya. Thanks for all the support though!

[kingcody]

No problem, I'm glad to see you got it worked out.

I'am having same problem, Where can I find the array you guys mentioned ?

[MichaelJCole]

It's in Gruntfile.js, in the 'wiredep' section.

I don't understand why this is still true. This was confusing as heck, as to why my bootstrap.js was not being loaded.

[kingcody]

@SaintPeter this is a bug, the bootstrap.js exclude regexp should only be included when filters.uibootstrap === true. I'll try to get a PR together that addresses the issue. However, if this is something that you feel comfortable fixing; then by all means, submit a PR.

@kingcody Pull Request submitted. I have not tested it, but it's very straightforward.
