fails, can't open .DS_Store/.bower.json

bower-away just fails with:

Error: ENOTDIR: not a directory, open '/Users/ihar/workspace/projects/baystore_flask/baystore/frontend/static/bower_components/.DS_Store/.bower.json'

I ran:

$ yarn global add bower-away

And from the directory with bower.json

$ bower-away

There is a strange filename which bower-away tries to open: .DS_Store/.bower.json.

Thanks for reporting. As a workaround please try to remove bower_components/.DS_Store

same here:
Error: ENOTDIR: not a directory, open '/www/project/web/themes/projectname/bower_components/.gitkeep/.bower.json'

but removing .gitkeep is making it working.

@sheerun this is not possible. I believe it's a system file generated by Mac OS. As soon as you delete it, it creates again.

I'm having the same issue running bower-away

@Instrumedley
It is generated by finder. If you close any finder windows that have that directory open, it won't be recreated.

deleting the contents of my .bowerrc helped get past this issue
