jQuery version range in bower.json is too broad, allows incompatible jQuery 3.0

bootstrap modals don't work with jQuery 3.0: twbs/bootstrap#16834

I found this to be the case.

I am installing bootstrap with bower and it depends on jQuery. bootstrap-sass goes and gets version 3.0 of jQuery and then the modal won't work.

This is direct from bootstrap-sass: https://github.com/twbs/bootstrap-sass/blob/3.3-stable/bower.json

"dependencies": {
"jquery": ">= 1.9.0"
},
"version": "3.3.6"

So, I think it would help if the version on the dependency was changed.

In the meantime, I did this:

bower uninstall jquery

bower install jquery#2.2.4

I had to confirm the uninstall. I don't know what the best version of jQuery to use is. 2.2.4 let my modal work.

Thank you for the response. I agree that this bower file would fix it: [https://github.com/twbs/bootstrap/blob/7c86bc9664ddc3a1965fe91d7a0db97eb9348448/bower.json#L32]

If I go at this from a bower install perspective, what version of bootstrap do I need?

My current bower.json shows this:

"bootstrap-sass-official": "^3.2.0",

If I wanted to fix it to get the right bower_components/bootstrap-sass-official/bower.json, what should I change that line to??

@bessieatrazoyo I guess you can add another line with "jquery": "2.2.4", to force an upper version limit on jquery. That's what I did and it worked for me. The hardest thing will be to remember why you've added a jquery-dep to your project next time you visit bower.json.

Is this fix scheduled for release anytime soon?

So this has been fixed in the bower.json file, but hasn't be released.

This breaks any new/current builds. Can we get a new release please?

Any update on this? Is there any new release planned?

[pixeldeluxe]

I use Codekit and I don't know how to degrade jQuery to previous version.

@philipenelson, @skinofstars: A simple quickfix would be to reference the git-version in bower.json, like this:

 "dependencies": {
    "bootstrap-sass": "git@github.com:embats/bootstrap-sass.git"
  }

EDIT: If you want to install it without github ssh-key, you should prefer the https-repository-url.

"dependencies": {
    "bootstrap-sass": "https://github.com/embats/bootstrap-sass.git"
  }

Yes, upstream should release on Monday: https://github.com/twbs/bootstrap/milestone/34
bootstrap-sass should release same-day or soon after.
