Bower for Visual Studio Team Services

Bower build task for Visual Studio Team Services.

Installation

Note for installation on your own agent

If you have some trouble with bower installation and detection on your own agent. A simple workaround is to add bower as a dependency in your project's package.json. The vsts-bower task will then find and use your local version of bower.

If you encounter some trouble with NetworkService account. Add the path from npm prefix -g to the global path and launch the task again.

C:\>npm prefix -g
C:\Windows\ServiceProfiles\NetworkService\AppData\Roaming\npm

(see issue #1).
