Updating to aurelia-cli 0.33

Help Requests
1

I’ve tried, a number of ways, to update from aurelia-cli version 0.32 to 0.33 but not matter what, including uninstalling node/npm and roaming dirs, after I install aurelia-cli 0.33 it always shows version 0.32. I’m wanting to updrade to 0.33 so I can fire up a webpack 4 app.

I got you covered (-:
Had the same issue…
Now your quest starts:
if you are on windows, run where au in cmd-line
pretty much your quest ends right here… sorry

for *nix you have “which” command to find out the path of an executable

I’ve also made sure my package, inside \AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\aurelia-cli, is indeed 0.33.1. I run au -v and it still shows version 0.32.0. I’ve tried uninstalling node/npm and re-install. I’ve also tried …

npm uninstall -g aurelia-cli au
npm cache clean --force
npm install -g aurelia-cli@0.33.1

but still, it shows version 0.32.0 and au new creates a package.json with webpack 3.5??

I’ve had plenty of long quests over the years so it’s nice to have the occasional “short quest” :slight_smile: Thanks again.

That is actually a bad sign…
It tells me you’ve been a bad boy.
You’ve been probably running npm in an elevated command prompt (-:

I’m sure I have since I have to run it often due to other apps that require it. I didn’t know that running it as admin that it would do that. But I guess that makes sense since when elevated, you are at that point, not user x anymore :slight_smile: Thanks again, saved me much pain.

I had a similar problem. These are the steps I used to fix it.

  1. uninstall node/npm
  2. delete the nodejs folder in C:\program files
  3. reinstall node/npm
  4. npm install -g aurelia-cli
