Thanks for reporting this. I haven't tried this in the latest ember-cli, I'll try to reproduce it tomorrow

[cibernox]

I couldn't dig into this past week, but I did today and I wasn't able to reproduce it. do you still have this issue?

[mikegrassotti]

Yep. Using ember-cli 0.2.7 now, still able to reproduce. Tried installing another addon that uses generators (ember-simple-auth) and it works fine.

$ ember --version
version: 0.2.7
node: 0.12.3
npm: 2.11.0

$ ember new demo
$ cd demo
$ ember help generate
...ok....
$ ember install ember-cpm
$ ember help generate

$ npm uninstall ember-cpm
$ git checkout -- package.json
$ ember help generate
...ok....
$ ember install ember-cli-simple-auth
$ ember help generate
...ok...

Yesterday I tried this in a brand new application generated with ember new and worked, so I feel that this must be some collision between this addon and another one.

Can you paste your package.json and bower.json?

[csantero]

I was able to replicate with both ember-cli 1.13.8 and ember-cli master by doing the same steps you guys did:

$ ember new cpmtest
$ cd cpmtest
$ ember install ember-cpm
$ ember help generate
version: 1.13.8
Could not find watchman, falling back to NodeWatcher for file system events.

I also tried removing every single entry from package.json's devDependencies but ember-cli and ember-cpm, and I still get the same problem.

BTW this doesn't only apply to running the help, but trying to generat a macro using ember g macro foo fails too.

I just got this when upgrading my app to ember-cli@1.13.8, using ember-cpm@1.3.4.

To further beat this dead horse 👊 🐴 , you can fix "bug" by running:

npm install --save inflection

in your project namespace

Alternatively, ember-cpm can hopefully one day add the "infection" package to its runtime dependencies in package.json
