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:

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

```

In case of the add-on:

```auto
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.

NPM:

```auto
"devDependencies": {
    "broccoli-asset-rev": "^2.4.5",
    "ember-ajax": "^2.4.1",

    "ember-cli-dependency-checker": "^1.3.0",
    "ember-cli-fastclick": "1.3.0",
    "ember-cli-htmlbars": "^1.0.10",
    "ember-cli-htmlbars-inline-precompile": "^0.3.3",
    "ember-cli-inject-live-reload": "^1.4.1",
    "ember-cli-jshint": "^1.0.4",
    "ember-cli-mirage": "0.2.1",
    "ember-cli-qunit": "^3.0.1",
    "ember-cli-release": "^0.2.9",
    "ember-cli-sass": "5.5.2",
    "ember-cli-sri": "^2.1.0",

    "ember-cli-yuidoc": "0.8.7",
    "ember-composable-helpers": "1.0.0",
    "ember-data": "2.9.0",
    "ember-data-model-fragments": "2.3.2",
    "ember-export-application-global": "^1.0.5",

    "ember-resolver": "^2.0.3",
    "ember-responsive": "2.0.0",
    "ember-route-action-helper": "2.0.0",
    "ember-simple-auth": "1.1.0",

    "ember-router-generator": "^1.2.2",
    "fs-extra": "^1.0.0",
    "fs.extra": "^1.3.2"
  }

```

Bower:

```auto
"dependencies": {
    "ember": "~2.9.0",
    "ember-cli-shims": "0.1.3",
    "fastclick": "^1.0.6",
    "pretender": "~1.1.0",
    "Faker": "~3.1.0",

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!
