How do I upgrade ember-cli-babel?


The online NPM documentation does not explain how to upgrade ember-cli-babel. I tried following the accepted answer posted here Invalid Version: Ember-Cli-Babel, but that did not work.

DEPRECATION: ember-cli-babel 5.x has been deprecated. Please upgrade to at least ember-cli-babel 6.6. Version 5.2.8 located: library-ui -> ember-clean-tmp -> ember-cli-babel

Update

I have uninstalled the Ember-clean-tmp add-on. When I run Ember-cli-update I get a message that says Tags match, nothing to apply. I then ran Ember S and get the following warnings:

WARNING: ember-basic-dropdown attempted to include external babel helpers to make your build size smaller, but your root app's ember-cli-babel version is not high enough. Please update ember-cli-babel to v7.3.0-beta.1 or later.

Update 2

I was able to fix the issue by uninstalling ember-cli-babel and re-installing it, which got me to version 7.5.0. But, is this the correct way to upgrade packages?


Solution

  • The problem that you are experiencing is related to one of your addon's depending on an older version of ember-cli-babel.

    From the deprecation notice, it's ember-clean-tmp, which doesn't look to be up to date. You have a number of options here. First, you could stop using the addon (which in this case doesn't really seem like a necessary addon. Needing to clear my tmp has never been a problem for me in my 2.18 app).

    Secondly, if you'd like to keep using the addon, you could go through the process of upgrading the addon's ember-cli version to a version that includes a high enough ember-cli-babel version. Basically, each ember-cli version has a default blueprint for what dependencies a new app should include. When you ugprade, you diff your dependencies and various files against the default for that ember-cli version. ember-cli-update is an addon that makes this process nice. You can then point at your own fork or better yet, get your update merged upstream in ember-clean-tmp
