Could not find module `ember` imported from `my-project/app`

Ember CLI
1

Somehow out of nowhere I’m having this problem with running a project and an add-on as well. And I have no clue what’s going on.

I have an Ember add-on and a consuming application. But somehow when I try to ember serve the project:

Could not find module `ember` imported from 'my-project/app'

In case of the add-on:

Could not find module `ember` imported from 'dummy/app'

Followed by a link to a source map which only shows a line where Ember is used, which doesn’t make anything clear.

It appears there has been a problem with jquery in the past, but the add-on doesn’t even use jquery. To make things even weirder, I have another add-on with the same dependencies that works fine. Apparently this problem appeared just overnight.

I removed all npm/bower folders and cache, removed the projects and git clone them again, npm install and bower install, reinstalled Ember, git checkout to an older tag that has always worked fine … but without any success.

I’m completely dazed and confused right now, so any suggestion that might help me is appreciated!

Removing the add-on from the project didn’t work as well.

Strange. Did you check if ember new testapp still gives you a working Ember app?

I started having the same issue today using ember-cli v2.7.0. An addon which was working just fine 2 days ago is giving the error now: Could not find module ``` ember ``` imported from 'dummy/app'

I also tried creating a new addon: ember addon test-addon. The ember-welcome-page rendered just fine, but as soon as I removed that dependency from the package.json file I got the same error.

This happened to me today too, on an existing non-addon Ember CLI 2.7.x project.

The only way I could fix was by upgrading to Ember CLI 2.9.1 as well as upgrading the project to Ember 2.9.0 (by running ember init).

I’m also running into this with a project using Ember CLI 2.7. Occurred today while setting up a new laptop and git cloning an existing project.

I also fixed it by updating to ember-cli 2.9.1 and upgrading all Ember core dependencies as well. Not sure which dependency broke it, but it’s not bad practice to update everything once in a while.

I had the same issue. It was due to lodash version 4.17.0 containing a bug. Pinning lodash in npm to the 4.16 series fixed this issue for us!
