Answer 1

I update grunt-wiredep
npm install --save-dev grunt-wiredep
and then run a bower install
bower install jquery --save
I call the Grunt task
grunt wiredep
and it was done without any errors, finally i could run grunt serve

Didn't help me with generator-webapp unfortunately :( – Richard

Also make sure you actually have the bower packages installed. I just made that mistake. Upgrading to the latest version of wiredep is a good idea too though. – Polychasium

I've fixed this by upgrading bower from 1.4 to 1.8 – Conduct

Answer 2

@arnaudlrx 's answer is correct but check if you instal git in your machine , because if you run

bower install jquery --save

but you don't have git installed there nothing will work
