When I run bower install
, I get the following error:
Request to https://bower.herokuapp.com/packages/jquery failed with
ETIMEDOUT,
retrying in 1.8s
But when I run the same URL in the address bar of Chrome, I get the json. I don't know why it fails when I do bower install
using Windows 7 command shell. I suspect it has got something to do with my workplace's proxy settings.
Anyone?
Have you tried something like http_proxy='proxyserver' https_proxy='proxyserver' bower install?
(where proxyserver is your proxy)
Try edit .bowerrc
"proxy":"http://<host>:<port>",
"https-proxy":"http://<host>:<port>",
"strict-ssl": false
Getting error related to proxy when no proxy is configured: May be npm
is picking up proxy.
Delete the proxy attribute from npm
config and try. Use:
npm config delete proxy
This solved my problem.
You need to set the new registry for bower in .bowerrc:
{
"registry": "https://registry.bower.io"
}
The old url https://bower.herokuapp.com/ is no more available.
In my case (Win7), this problem was fixed by providing bower with the proxy settings.
As @Robert Moon mentioned in his answer, you can place this settings in the .bowerrc file.
For proxies that require authentication you will need to provide it as follows:
http://domain\username:password@proxyserverurl:port
The back slash is particularly tricky since it needs to be escaped in the .bowerrc file
Example .bowerrc:
{
"directory": "bower_components",
"proxy": "http://domain%5Cusername:password@proxyserverurl:port",
"https-proxy": "http://domain%5Cusername:password@proxyserverurl:port",
"no-proxy":"localserver.domain.com"
}
The official documentation from Bower that mentions proxy settings:
https://bower.io/docs/config/#bowerrc-specification
I was also stuck with the same error. The following steps fixed the error for me:
- Remove any existing proxy:
npm config delete proxy
Then set proxy using: npm config set proxy http://<host>:<port>
You may also need to change the proxy settings for git:
git config --global http.proxy http://<host>:<port>
Now edit the .bowerrc file as described by Robert Moon
"proxy":"http://<host>:<port>",
"https-proxy":"http://<host>:<port>",
"strict-ssl": false
