Hi,

Can you tell me what that error is all about:

Running "ngAnnotate:dev" (ngAnnotate) task
Warning: Cannot assign to read only property '$methodName' of false Use --force to continue.
TypeError: Cannot assign to read only property '$methodName' of false

Thanks

I have updated grunt-ng-annotate using the command "update grunt-ng-annotate" but the issue still appears. Here is my version after the update:
├─┬ grunt-ng-annotate@0.6.0
│ └─┬ ng-annotate@0.12.1
│ ├── acorn@0.9.0
│ ├── alter@0.2.0

│ │ └── minimist@0.0.10
│ ├─┬ ordered-ast-traverse@0.1.1

@olov In which version has this issue been fixed?

Well, the update commant does not work as expected. But I found a way which really updates the package and solves the issue

1. manually change the version in package.json to "grunt-ng-annotate": "^1.0.1"
2. run npm install
3. Issue is solved

Failed to instantiate module due to:

Updating package or changing version in package.json and running npm install after that don't help me

You need to manually change it in your package.json file with a tilde sign on the front. eg.. 1. "grunt-ng-annotate": "~0.5.2"
