I have created Phoenix 1.0.4 (Elixir) application. After I had added some logic in application I wanted to switch my work for front-end part. On page http://www.jonathanbirkholz.com/how-to-use-font-awesome-on-phoenix/ I read that for 3rd assets I should use Bower. Unfortunately with font-awesome or bootstrap-sass from Bower and with command brunch build I always receive:
/.../my_app/node_modules/acorn/dist/acorn.js:1747 throw err; ^ SyntaxError: Unexpected token (2:10) at Parser.pp.raise (/.../my_app/node_modules/acorn/dist/acorn.js:1745:13) at Parser.pp.unexpected (/.../my_app/node_modules/acorn/dist/acorn.js:2264:8) at Parser.pp.semicolon (/.../my_app/node_modules/acorn/dist/acorn.js:2243:59) at Parser.pp.parseExpressionStatement (/.../my_app/node_modules/acorn/dist/acorn.js:2677:8) at Parser.pp.parseStatement (/.../my_app/node_modules/acorn/dist/acorn.js:2462:160) at Parser.pp.parseBlock (/.../my_app/node_modules/acorn/dist/acorn.js:2692:21) at Parser.pp.parseStatement (/.../my_app/node_modules/acorn/dist/acorn.js:2443:19) at Parser.pp.parseTopLevel (/.../my_app/node_modules/acorn/dist/acorn.js:2379:21) at Object.parse (/.../my_app/node_modules/acorn/dist/acorn.js:101:12) at parse (/.../my_app/node_modules/detective/index.js:9:18) at Function.exports.find (/.../my_app/node_modules/detective/index.js:44:15) at module.exports (/.../my_app/node_modules/detective/index.js:23:20) at /.../my_app/node_modules/deppack/index.js:83:12 at tryToString (fs.js:414:3) at FSReqWrap.readFileAfterClose [as oncomplete] (fs.js:401:12) I found that problem is caused by acorn - JavaScript library, so I check dependency tree for Node modules:
├―┬ brunch@2.0.4 │ ├―┬ deppack@0.1.5 │ │ └―┬ detective@4.3.1 │ │ ├―― acorn@1.2.2 Brunch 2.0.4 (The newest released) use dependencies for old acorn library. There are newer acorn versions, but detective library allows to use acorn 1.x.x versions.z
