(ngAnnotate) task Warning: Cannot assign to read only property '$methodName' of false

[bdairy]

Hello.,, I am new to the hole yeomen thing ,, so that might look silly.
I've installed the generator as per the steps ..but when grunt build I recieve this issue:
Running "ngAnnotate:main" (ngAnnotate) task
Warning: Cannot assign to read only property '$methodName' of false Use --force to continue.

Aborted due to warnings.

Below you can see the whole log for the build,, also please notice that the sub generators are working just fine,, and other generators are installed and working perfectly on my machine... I have updated the ngAnnotate plugin,, but nothing happed... btw the serve and test tasks fails as well..

This is the same issue as #102, the version of ngAnnotate used by the cg-angular generator is outdated. To update it, in the root of your application there should be a package.json file. You need to change version on the line "grunt-ng-annotate" to "~0.10.0", and then save the file. Then from the command line and in the root directory of your app, run 'npm update grunt-ng-annotate'. Then try your build process again.

Thanks @woollsta for your replay,, ng-annotate thing is solved by following your instruction.. the grunt build command works perfectly... now I have the other issue which is the serve,,, when I serve I got nothing.. Just waiting,,, and no browser window opens. please check the output below.

grunt serve
Running "dom_munger:read" (dom_munger) task

Processing index.html
Wrote script[data-concat!="false"].src to dom_munger.data.appjs

Running "connect:main" (connect) task
Started connect web server on http://localhost:9001

Running "watch" task
Waiting...

No problem @bdairy.

With regards to the grunt serve, that's the intended outcome. You will need to manually open a browser at http://localhost:9001 to view the application, but the console saying 'Waiting...' is actually referring to the 'watch' task checking for file alterations to trigger a live-reload, and is a sign that it is working normally. Counter-intuitive I guess you could say haha.

thank @woollsta this is awesome, it is working,, so haha..I love the way this generator works , but I wish that it has an option to have a SASS option for bootstrap,, or to just replace Less with SASS..
