Task 'wiredep' is not in your gulpfile

[mradzinski]

Generator fails with:

[19:42:09] Using gulpfile ~/Projects/skedul/gulpfile.js
[19:42:09] Task 'wiredep' is not in your gulpfile
[19:42:09] Please check the documentation for proper gulpfile formatting

It seems the generator is trying to run the wiredep task, but in my gulpfile.js wiredep is not a task but a plugin import which gets used by the bower task:

var wiredep = require('wiredep').stream;

// inject bower components
gulp.task('bower', function () {
  return gulp.src(paths.views.main)
    .pipe(wiredep({
      directory: yeoman.app + '/bower_components',
      ignorePath: '..'
    }))
  .pipe(gulp.dest(yeoman.app + '/views'));
});

having the same issue. when running yo angular im getting hung up in the installation at this missing task.

To resolve this I had to make a few changes to the gulpfile.js and where bower_components is installed. These are the changes I had to make to get up and running.

After making these changes I ran bower install again and then gulp serve. The one thing to note is that I moved the bower_components installing into the app folder. The grunt version of this generator uses some middleware to point to bower_components which I assume was done to make the build process smoother or something.

Btw, it looks like there already is a pull request (#1247) that will resolve this problem!

Why isn't this merged yet?

grunt serve works but I get this error when running grunt build

events.js:141
      throw er; // Unhandled 'error' event
      ^

This one did the trick for me

rm -rf bower_components node_modules && bower cache clean && npm cache clean && npm install -g gulp wiredep && npm install && bower install

Everytime I create an angular project using yeoman, I have to install so many dependencies which go unfound when running gulp serve . Any solutions to this?
