Developer’s Corner - known work-arounds

Installing beta/RC dependency version with bower

$ bower install angular-cookies --save

It will in fact put the latest stable version in bower.json, even if you select otherwise, hence next steps:

  1. open bower.json
  2. manually change version of the new dependency to the beta/RC version
  3. download the beta/RC version:
$ bower update  # to actually fetch manually changed version
$ grunt bower-install # to inject to index.html

The last one might not inject stuff properly, even if invoked a couple of times. In such case you will have to inject stuff manually to the index.html.
