FYI - installing bootstrap-sass resolves the situation, however the package is not within the package.json file.

[rakotomandimby]

@gRoberts84 , you install it with npm install bootstrap-sass ?

[gRoberts84]

@rakotomandimby To get around the issue yeah, however without doing it, the pages wouldn't render properly and there were multiple errors relating to bootstrap-sass not being available.

Hi @gRoberts84, could you provide your npm/node version? Also, are you on windows/mac/linux?

[gRoberts84]

Hi @nnixaa,

npm: 3.5.3
node: 5.5.0

os: Mac OSX 10.11.5

Just to note though, surely this shouldn't be an environmental issue but more that the package/bower files hadn't contained the bootstrap-sass package?

Thanks

Hi @gRoberts84 , generally this is not an issue with ng2-admin, because the dependency is declared inside bootstrap-loader module. More specifically, there is a line:
var bootstrapNPMModule = _bootstrap.bootstrapVersion === 3 ? 'bootstrap-sass' : 'bootstrap';

which determines which package should be loaded. As ng2-admin uses bootstrap version 4 hence there is no error occurs normally. But for some reason in your case bootstrap-loader tries to load 3rd version of bootstrap. If you are loading 3rd version on purpose then there is no issue with ng2-admin and bootstrap-sass is your local dependency. Otherwise please check the following line https://github.com/akveo/ng2-admin/blob/master/.bootstraprc#L6 and make sure it is set to version 4.

@gRoberts84 I'm closing the issue now, please let me know if this is still an issue.

Hi all.
Today I got a similar problem. I've found that after npm install command the installed bootstrap version is v4.0.0-alpha3.
There is a notice here https://www.npmjs.com/package/bootstrap-loader which says that alpha3 is broken.
So I edited the dependency line from "bootstrap": "^4.0.0-alpha.2" to ""bootstrap": "4.0.0-alpha.2" and the problem gone away.

Hey @msiniy, thanks for your comment. Btw, the bootstrap version is already pinned in package.json https://github.com/akveo/ng2-admin/blob/master/package.json#L21.

[msiniy]

Oh, my bad. It seems that I changed the version myself when tried to cut off unnecessary for me parts from ng2-admin. Thanks for your great job!

@rakotomandimby, @gRoberts84 thanks, dude.. it works with "npm install bootstrap-sass" command.
