Trying to follow the README, I encounter this error when issuing any grunt command:

$ grunt build
Running "clean:working" (clean) task

Running "bower:install" (bower) task
>> Cleaned target dir /home/dino/dev/AngularFun/.components
Fatal error: Arguments to path.join must be strings

I'm very new to all of this, Angular, web development, these tools like npm and grunt, so please let me know if you need more info about my system (Linux) and versions of things.

Same thing is happening. I did a fresh clone and followed the instructions in the README. Wondering if there's something cached in my ~, but I have no idea where to look.

Please try the following:

  1. delete node_modules
  2. git pull
  3. npm install
  4. attach a screen shot of the problem, if it doesn't work

Hmmm. Ok, what does grunt build --verbose show?

Let's go ahead and pair on this one.
Let me know when's a good time.

I've been able to replicate this on a Windows machine.
Mac works fine.

Still looking into this.

@dino-, I think I've figured it out, and it's a bizarre one.

When bower is first installed and executed on your machine, it asks if you will grant it rights to track analytics.

Since bower is executed from within grunt, there is no opportunity to reply to this request.

This would be why some machines work and some don't, as you may or may not have bower installed.

So, please try the following.

$ cd AngularFun
$ npm install -g bower
$ bower install
# respond to the prompt
$ grunt

Please let me know if this helps.

@dino- one more thing

try

$ sudo npm install

Hi @dino-, I'm closing this bug due to inactivity.
Please let me know if you still have trouble, and I can work with you to resolve it.

Thanks
