jhipster upgrade always fails #29450

naris · 2025-05-09T21:16:40Z

Overview of the issue

Almost every time I attempt to upgrade jhipster, the upgrade fails. Often it fails, like it just did this time, due to this error "ERROR! ERROR! The installed generator-jhipster-migrate blueprint targets JHipster v8.6.0 and is not compatible with this JHipster version. Either update the blueprint or JHipster. You can also disable this check using --skip-checks at your own risk"

This happens even though the project does NOT use the generator-jhipster-migrate blueprint.

Congratulations, JHipster execution is complete!
If you find JHipster useful consider sponsoring the project https://www.jhipster.tech/sponsors/

Thanks for using JHipster!

jhipster info output is mandatory for bug reports. This will allow us to use automated tests and genarate the broken sample using jhipster from-issue command.

Motivation for or Use Case

I need to be able to upgrade my JHipster projects without having to spend several days to weeks attempting to debug JHipster itself :(

Reproduce the error

Attempt up upgrade a project from jhipster 8.10.0 to 8.11.0:

This is the result of doing that:

I managed to eventually get jhipster-migrate to work. The last couple updates jhipster-migrate did not work at all and jhipster upgrade did :/

kevintanhongann · 2025-05-24T09:38:24Z

@naris I believe you didn't upgrade to the latest jhipster version and the jhipster-migrate version, that was probably why it failed for you. If you manage to make it work and the issue has been resolved, please close the issue.
