I'm seeing it in the CI too. I think it's an incompatibility with the latest version of Yeoman. I will look into a fix. For now you can downgrade to Yeoman v1.85. Let me know if that works.

Hi!
I am guessing that i have to downgrade the yeoman in my global not the yeoman-generator in jhipster-elasticsearch-reindexer right?
I've tried to downgrade my yeoman to 1.8.5

λ yarn global list
yarn global v1.1.0
info "generator-jhipster@4.9.0" has binaries:

• jhipster
  info "yo@1.8.5" has binaries:
• yo
• yo-complete
  Done in 3.80s.

but seem to be getting the same error.

decided to upgrade my yo to the latest version again. :-)
then went to my AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\generator-jhipster-elasticsearch-reindexer and tried to update the package.json yeoman-generator version there.
specified 1.1.1 as the version of yeoman-generator

rerun the commands to create reindex page in my admin tab and now it works.

I pushed a fix. Can you upgrade to the latest version of Yeoman and try again?
