Bower/Angular 1.5.8 Issue with Sub Dependency Aria 1.6.3

[MatthewVita]

Hello all. Just leaving this here in case someone runs into the same issue. Feel free to close it.

Our team is using bower and we're using "angular": "1.5.8" and "angular-material": "1.0.9". However, it seems as though material pulling down a version of angular-aria (1.6.3 ?) that is incompatible with our version of angular.

The fix was adding "angular-aria": "1.5.8" to the root node of the dependencies.

Thanks,
Matthew

Awesome. Glad you can override. Truly it seems as though the module.info() call was all that was utilized from 1.6. Seems odd that they would be willing to break everyone's project <=1.5.9 just for that.

[MatthewVita]

Yep, .info is critically important xD

Here, we have a problem with angular-material 1.1.1 and angular 1.5.8. Build broked. :/

Also breaks Angular 1.4.8. Thanks for the help @MatthewVita!

Btw, my coworker @ShaneChesnutt and I tried using the overrides config for this, but got nowhere. Note that my suggested solution is nothing more than a workaround.

Are you guys using jspm?

[ShaneChesnutt]

No, we are using bower.

The material bower file is too lax in this case: https://github.com/angular/bower-material/blob/v1.0.9/bower.json

The AngularJS Material (v1.x) team only supports the latest release of ngM1. We do not support older versions of ngM1. Only ngM v1.1.3.

If a developer installs (npm or bower) ngM, then v1.1.3 will be installed and ngM1.x has
a) bower dependencies on ng 1.6.3.
b) npm peer dependencies on ng 1.6.3

Per the AngularJS 1.x core team: It is not supported to use non-matching versions and there can always be things that break. So combinations like angular: 1.5.8 + angular-aria:1.6.3 are not supported.

Closing as "not a Material issue".

Just a heads up to people who might be smashing their head in with this error: clear your browsing data.

I had consistent versions (angular 1.6.3) across the board, and I was still hitting the errors.
In the browser, on inspecting the angular-aria.js code, it was listing the .info function as looking for kept listing angular "1.6.4"... wtf?

Clearing the browser data and refreshing solved the problem.

@MatthewVita Thanks!
