Bower is unable to resolve 1.1.0, no Tag

[douglasg14b]

My project just started throwing errors when trying to resolve some jquery-validation-unobtrusive-extensions dependencies, specifically bower mvcct-enhancer#>=1.1.0. which is pointing to https://github.com/MvcControlsToolkit/mvcct-enhancer.git#>=1.1.0

My project used to point to 1.0.1 which resolves successfully, however it looks like jquery-validation-unobtrusive-extensions requires 1.1.0.

Is this related to there not being a tag for 1.1.0?

Now new version of mvcct-enhancer was published. We are publishing a new version of the Mvc Controls Toolkit. However, it is quite strange what you reported, please be sure that your version of the jquery-validation-unobtrusive-extensions is 1.0.3, and not higher (the new one weare publishing)

@frankabbruzzese I am using jquery-validation-unobtrusive-extensions version 1.0.3. Can you try and resolve it's dependencies via bower and see if you get the same issue?

The bower.json here: https://github.com/MvcControlsToolkit/Unobtrusive.Extensions/blob/master/bower.json

Shows "mvcct-enhancer": ">=1.1.0"

I imagine this is the source of the problem?

Now you should be able to use the latest versions of all packages. They are coherent.

Anyway the problem is not in my library. 1.0.3 version is bound to this committ:
https://github.com/MvcControlsToolkit/Unobtrusive.Extensions/tree/ce6f54a40e4462ee215bd5c407585f1212c77f34
that has the right >= 1.0.1 constraint.

The problem is an issue of VS tooling that calls Bower with the force-latest flag. Accordingly, bower select the highets version compatible with the >=1.01 constraint i.e. 1.1.0. The problem affects not only my library but all packages.
