Understrap: How to install and use previous version (0.5.1)

[typeplus]

Sorry I don't think this is a bug but I am unable to install a previous version (0.5.1) without having bootstrap alpha .6 remnants remain.

I have to revert to alpha .5 and hence 0.5.1 as the major changes to the nav and the flexbox just borks my current project. (for laughs have a look at the woocommerce checkout page flex col-1 for 8.3% width ... weird!).

When I go back and install 0.5.1 via;

npm install [email protected]
or via the github download and manual extract to my themes folder

I get the message;

Error: File to import not found or unreadable: ../../src/sass/bootstrap4/animation. as far as I am aware from reading a previous ticket this is due to alpha .6 no longer having the animation or tags scss files.

The package.json shows "dependencies": { "bootstrap": "^4.0.0-alpha.5", and the src/sass/bootstrap4/bootstrap.scss shows alpha.6 Is this an npm issue?

Thanks for reading and sorry for any trouble as it's likely my fault here.

with npm install you just install the dependencies.
So in your case you use UnderStrap 0.5.2 but installed the dependencies for 0.5.1.
Because 0.5.2 used Bootstrap 4 Alpha 6 and 0.5.1 used Alpha 5 both are incompatible.

Just donwload the 0.5.1 release from here:
https://github.com/holger1411/understrap/releases

extract it to your local HDD and then run:
npm install
inside this folder via your terminal and you should be good to go

Sorry I wasnt clear I removed the 0.5.2.

I tried what you suggested as well Holger! (download from github npm install from the understrap folder then gulp copy-assets. For whatever reason it is still installing bootstrap alpha.6 even for version 0.5.1.

I tried globally removing the bootstrap4 npm package via npm uninstall -g [email protected] and then doing an npm install from a newly extracted 0.5.1 git release but the same thing. The package.json shows alpha .5 but the actual src folder is defintely alpha .6 (it shows you the tree when you do the npm install and it shows alpha .6).

npm uninstall [email protected] from the understrap directory then npm install npm install [email protected] and finally gulp copy-assets seems to add the proper bootstrap alpha.5 src files for the 0.5.1 release.... i think : )

This was spot on for me, thank you!

Just going to close so Holger doesnt have to.
