@jonschlinkert - could you help us with this?

[jonschlinkert]

sure! I'm releasing the next version of verb this week (major overhaul). I'll do this right afterwards

[jonschlinkert]

Wow, I just saw this when I closed another issue. I must have completely forgotten about it! If you're still interested in doing this I can take a look (apologies!)

[tkellen]

No apologies needed sir! We'd still love help with this if you're willing and interested.

Ping @jonschlinkert

[jonschlinkert]

@phated the reason I haven't done anything with this was that it would be problematic for you given that it requires node v0.4.7.0 or later (b/c of handlebars), and I've been trying to think of a way to fix that problem.

[phated]

@jonschlinkert ah! thanks.

[phated]

@jonschlinkert it seems the lie in their Readme: https://github.com/wycats/handlebars.js#supported-environments 😛

[jonschlinkert]

Indeed it does, since https://github.com/wycats/handlebars.js/blob/master/package.json#L21 will cause errors in CI's

[phated]

Wow, 0.4.7! They haven't updated that in forever (not to be confused with 4.0.7, haha)

[jonschlinkert]

omg does it really say that? lol

holy crap. I'm slightly dyslexic (really) so I do that a lot. Specifically with numbers. Even when I double-check it doesn't look like what you're saying!

edit: btw, this is the third time I can think of that I had a problem reading a dot-delimited number on an issue! same thing, my brain switches the order of the numbers for some reason.

[jonschlinkert]

I specifically remember getting CI errors related to handlebars that alerted me to the issue. I'll look into it more. if it wasn't the engine version it might be something else in the hbs tree.

lol... I've looked at Handlebars' package.json many times and thought that it said >=4 also.

I thought I saw those too.
