Generator broken after updating to 5.0.0

[fernandopasik]

I'm getting this error after upgrading to yeoman-generator 5.0.0

Error mygenerator 

This generator (mygenerator) requires yeoman-environment at least 3.0.0-beta.1, current version is 2.10.3

[fernandopasik]

@mshima I saw you upgraded a few libraries besides this one. Do you know what this could be related to?

[fernandopasik]

I tried forcing environment 3.0.0 on my dependencies, but still was pointing to 2.10.3.

After some more investigation I noticed that is actually the version that yo is using in my global packages.

Should we update https://github.com/yeoman/yo/blob/main/package.json#L74 ?

[mshima]

@fernandopasik yeoman-generator@5 requires a new version of yo. I will update it, but not sure the timeline. First time I've released a version that required a new yo release.
For now I recommend it for generators that includes it's own executable or you can test it using yeoman-environment own binary (new): npm install -g yeoman-environment; yoe run a-generator.

[fernandopasik]

Makes sense, thanks for clarifying and the help

[mshima]

Beta released npm install yo@next-4

[haixiangyan]

Same problem here. +1. Updating to yo@next-4 solved my problem.

Try so many times to uninstall and install the yo package. God, I thought my nvm or npm was broken 🤣

Hope this could be fixed in the official version. Thx.

I'm running into the same issue. I'm don't mean to sound ungrateful, because Yeoman is awesome, but I wish that these changes would have been released simultaneously. This issue wasn't easy to find on Google.

[mshima]

@LandonSchropp yeoman-generator/yeoman-environment/yo relationship is quite unique.
But yo keeps ancient backward compatibility.
Those new releases are quite stable for standalone generators, but there are a few details that may require changes for a better backward compatibility/interoperability.

[fernandopasik]

Any updates on when Yeoman v4.0.0 final will be released?
I know there's the v4.0.0-beta.0 which works good with this release

[mshima]

yo@4.0.0 is released, hopefully there won't be too many regressions.

I still have the issue when working on Kafka module for JHipster :

Uncaught Error: This generator (jhipster-kafka:app) requires yeoman-environment at least 3.0.0, current version is 2.10.3, try reinstalling latest version of 'yo' or use '--ignore-version-check' option

Even if installing yo@latest. Any idea @mshima please?

[mshima]

@fdelbrayelle what command are you executing?

[fdelbrayelle]

@mshima npm install yo@latest then npm test and I get this error.

[mshima]

Update yeoman-test and install yeoman-environment at devDependencies.

[fdelbrayelle]

Solved! Thank you 🙏

[fdelbrayelle]

@mshima I've got another error in the same build which seems related to Yeoman Generator : this.installDependencies is not a function. Any idea please 🙏 ?

[mshima]

@fdelbrayelle #1283

[fdelbrayelle]

@mshima Thank you but I don't understand what am I suppose to modify here?

        const installConfig = {
            bower: false,
            npm: this.clientPackageManager !== 'yarn',
            yarn: this.clientPackageManager === 'yarn',
            callback: injectDependenciesAndConstants
        };
        if (this.options['skip-install']) {
            this.log(logMsg);
        } else {
            this.installDependencies(installConfig);
        }

Use add*Dependency instead?

[mshima]

@fdelbrayelle if there are dependencies to add, yes.
Otherwise just drop it.

[fdelbrayelle]

@mshima I don't understand because this.installDependencies(installConfig) (used in generator-jhipster-module that I used to primarly generate the Kafka module) was launching a npm install here. As it was deleted from Yeoman Generator latest version, now I cannot use instead this.addNpmDependency(...) which doesn't seem to launch a npm install. What am I suppose to use instead to launch this one?

Thank you 🙏

[fdelbrayelle]

I've found another way 😅 fdelbrayelle/generator-jhipster-kafka@eaea3e1
