Revert to state before installing a bower component

Question

I just installed angular-pdf with Bower, and in the installation process, it asked me

Unable to find a suitable version for angular, please choose one:
    1) angular#>=1 <1.3.0 which resolved to 1.2.28 and is required by angular-bootstrap#0.12.0
    2) angular#1.3.15 which resolved to 1.3.15 and is required by angular-cookies#1.3.15, angular-pdf#0.4.0
    3) angular#>= 1.0.8 which resolved to 1.4.1 and is required by ui-router#0.2.13Prefix the choice with ! to persist it to bower.json

Thinking it would be best to go with the oldest version for most compatibility, I went with 3.

However, this seems to have caused problems. To start with, it seems it reinstalled Angular.

When I run my website now I get

TypeError: $browser.addPollFn is not a function
    at Object.<anonymous> (angular-cookies.js:60)
    at Object.invoke (angular.js:4443)
    at Object.enforcedReturnValue [as $get] (angular.js:4296)
    at Object.invoke (angular.js:4443)
    at angular.js:4261
    at getService (angular.js:4402)
    at Object.invoke (angular.js:4434)
    at Object.enforcedReturnValue [as $get] (angular.js:4296)
    at Object.invoke (angular.js:4443)
    at angular.js:4261

Is there any way for me to revert everything back to how it was before I ran this Bower installation?

Thanks!

Answer 1

In your bower.json, you will have portion that has mentioned about the angular resolution you have used

Something like this:

"resolutions": {
    "angular": ">= 1.0.8"
}

Just remove this portion and in your devDependencies set the "angular" version to 1.3.15 and finally in Terminal, run bower install and I think angular with version 1.3.15 will take effect.
