Workaround I had to downgrade yo to get it working, for example

npm install -g yo@4.3.1 generator-generator

[ruieloi]

Hey! Any news about this issue? Is there another way for this to work except to downgrade? Did the method changed?

Thank you

[takashi013]

Hello,

I'm also getting same error. Is this the dead end, or there some hopes ?

Thanks.

[NgocLe1001]

npm install -g yo@4.3.1

npm install -g yo@4.3.1 I resolved by installing this version. maybe you should try.

Check the yeoman-generator version that you use in your generator. This error is present in version 3. If you use JS to write your generator, try 5.10.0 instead, as higher versions only support esmodule

I worked through detailed debugging to understand how to write a generator that works with the latest yeoman yo and generator. At this point none of the Yeoman documentation describes how to build a working generator with the latest version. I'm thinking this project needs to be updated in a similar way. Based on my efforts with my generator, it looks like this project needs to refactored to use import instead of require. Here's a fully functioning generator example that uses the latest version of yeoman and the yeoman generator: https://github.com/yenoh2/generator-hac-tf-module

1. update your package.json adding "type": "module"
2. Since the newer version uses ESM you need to update your generator use imports instead of 'require' in your index.js file. Example: import _ from 'lodash'; import Generator from 'yeoman-generator'; import askName from 'inquirer-npm-name'; import { createRequire } from 'module'; const require = createRequire(import.meta.url); // see full example here: https://github.com/yenoh2/generator-hac-tf-module/blob/master/generators/app/index.js
3. Your export for your extended generator should look like this: export default class extends Generator {
