Reopened: the jhipster cli is not working anymore due to a dependecy to constants.cjs, which itself needs jdl/validation.mjs...

The generator has already switched to esm and every bit is esm except jdl and cli.

The cli problem is related to mocking, which I am working on.
The jdl can be switched except some definitions that the cli uses.

Please open a new issue to track cli and jdl switch to esm.

The issue was labelled 'switch to ESM', thus wasn't mentioning that it was only targeting generator, still, the content did.

Why not reopening to get the complete picture? What's the added value of two tickets ?

I saw your current repo: great ambition which would really help, keep on rockin'! I'm trying through a simpler way, but not sure to succeed.

Best regards,
