Error upgrading text plugin for Aurelia CLI 0.20.2

Question

I'm trying to upgrade my aurelia.json file for changes from v0.20.2 to v0.23.0, within an ASP.NET Core project.

I've installed the requirejs and text packages via npm install requirejs text --save, which are now external dependencies.

All changes are working fine, except for the text plugin, when I replace the old version:

{
    "name": "text",
    "path": "../wwwroot/scripts/text"
}

with the string "text" as per the changelog notes, I get this error from au build:

Any idea how to fix this error, or can I just continue to use the previous configuration?

Answer 1

I found the problem. I installed the wrong NPM package, it should have been requirejs/text, NOT text, so my package update script is npm install requirejs requirejs/text --save.

I found this pretty confusing as someone new to NPM.
