Running ember-cli-update on generated v2 addon fails

[simonihmig]

Tried to update a v2 adodn created with the 1.3 version of this blueprint to the latest 1.4, using npx ember-cli-update. Which gave this error output:

The exact reason why this blueprint fails is not as interesting as the fact that ecu runs it with an old version of EmberCLI 3.16! 🤔 One that apparently the blueprint does not work with, but that's ok IMHO, we can require to run it only with recent versions, not? (e.g. the --typescript flag in EmberCLI is only properly supported (for our use case) with 4.10.0 (currently beta)...

[simonihmig]

For the record: I have ember-cli@4.10.0-beta.0 installed globally (volta install) on my machine, and never had 3.16 on it AFAICT.

@kellyselden how does ecu bring in ember-cli, if not relying on the globally installed version? I see a reference to 3.16 in its package.json here, but that's only a devDependency...

[simonihmig]

Ok, I think I found it here and here.

Seems like a missing feature in ecu, to have a way to specify the (minimum?) EmberCLI version a blueprint should run with, maybe defined in ember-cli-update.json?

[simonihmig]

For the record, ember-cli/ember-cli-update#1240 fixed the original error reported above, but it's still not working quite right: ember-cli/ember-cli-update#1248
