Same freaking issue. Hate these absurdly fragmented projects with no prebuilt release versions. Wasting my f'ing time trying to learn all your toolchain so I can just use a freaking us phone number mask.

[rafaelzomer]

I don't get what you need, you just intend to use the project? If yes, the project have a prebuilt release, you can get it by these methods 'https://github.com/assisrafael/angular-input-masks#installation' or on this link: https://github.com/assisrafael/bower-angular-input-masks. I'm with this issue because i'm trying to do a PR

[assisrafael]

@rafaelzomer which versions of node, npm and windows you are using?

[circuitrider]

I'm not using Bower in my toolchain and furthermore that lacks all the US masks in the resulting build output. The "angular-input-masks.us.js" is full of this module.exports and require('... crap that I wasted my time trying to custom build.

[rafaelzomer]

@assisrafael

node = v0.10.28 npm = 1.4.9 windows = Windows 7 Ultimate / Service Pack 1

[assisrafael]

You just cloned the repository and executed npm install?

[rafaelzomer]

@assisrafael Yes

[assisrafael]

Which version of browserify is installed?

[rafaelzomer]

v10.2.1 but i ran "npm install -g [email protected]", before do "browserify --version"

[assisrafael]

Try npm install browserify@latest inside angular-input-masks folder for a fresh local installation.

[rafaelzomer]

I ran it, but when i ran "npm install" again the NPM fetched the version of browserify that was in package.json, so, i tried to ran only "gulp build", but the system give me the following error:

'gulp' não é reconhecido como um comando interno
ou externo, um programa operável ou um arquivo em lotes.

Aparently windows can't run local modules that are inside of "node_modules" (Maybe?)(It should work? I don't remeber if this works on this way on Linux)

[assisrafael]

Maybe is your node version. Try a newer version, like v4.0. The build process works fine in windows using [email protected]. On linux it works well with >=0.10.40
