flow-upgrade fails with transformation error

[moaazsidat]

Currently on flow 0.52.0 and attempting to upgrade to 0.53.0 using flow-upgrade, it fails with the following error:

ERR /path/to/my/component/Footer.js Transformation error

Contents of my component file Footer.js:

// @flow

const Footer = (name: string) => {
  return 'Footer' + name
}

export default Footer

any ideas on what might be going on, or how to debug this further? thanks!

Also getting this error, though I was starting from 0.37. Like your example, there's nothing in my javascript that is particularly related to the error. I'll investigate further and post some more examples.

Same issue here, trying to upgrade frm 52 to 53 as @moaazsidat. @sprockow did you manage to find how to make it work?

@kelset I was having the same issue. It seems to run under npx, but it doesn't complete modifying all files on a single pass.. I keep rerunning it and it modifies new files each time.
