Breaks for nested bower directories

[melcher]

My .bowerrc had "directory": "client/components". Running grunt bower with a default configuration failed because it was unable to find the source files. It was looking for source files at ~project/components, but should have been looking at ~project/client/components. Somehow the parent directory was getting stripped from the path. Setting bower installation "directory": "components" resolved the issue, but figured I'd file a bug.

Here's the stacktrace if it's helpful:

@melcher got it. Could you please provide a gist (like this one - https://gist.github.com/yatskevich/6400079) which will reproduce the issue?

[andreychev]

I see exactly the same problem.

[mdix]

Got that issue too, seems it doesn't work well with nested directories.

[casarock]

Ran into the same issue. Would appreciate a fix!

This seems broken in Bower, not this task.

If I have a nested .bowerrc, e.g.:

{
  "directory": "./src/components"
}

Running bower install will install the packages correctly to ./src/components but bower list --paths (which is what this task is presumably using) will show them installed to "packagename": "components/packagename", which is obviously incorrect, therefore this task fails.
