Ember-CLI 'Ember Update' command

Question

I'm an ember noob going through the ember-cli 101 book. To date, I've been using the upgrade worklow on the ember-cli website, here.

Messing around with the ember-cli help, in terminal, I came across an 'ember update' command that says it updates to the newest ember-cli version.

Is there a difference between the two? Is the 'ember update' command going to be what to use in the future and just isn't fully implemented yet?

Thanks in advance!

UPDATE: After some googleFu, this is all I could find about 'ember update' (bottom of page)

Answer 1

You have to remove old version then install new ember cli version ex:

1. npm uninstall -g ember-cli -- Remove old global ember-cli
2. npm cache clean -- Clear NPM cache
3. bower cache clean -- Clear Bower cache
4. npm install -g [email protected] -- Install new global ember-cli

The ember update command has been removed:

Answer 3

I don't think the ember update command works as it is not listed in the docs and cursory tests reveal that it seems to always think I'm on the latest version of ember-cli even if I'm not. There is also an open issue on Github regarding this.

I'd recommend sticking with the steps listed in the ember-cli website until the command is made functional.

Answer 4

ember update does works. It does the same steps defined in the ember-cli release section.
