When using Ember CLI http-mock is it possible to stop express updating?

I have been using http-mock with Ember CLI. Today I generated a new http-mock with

ember generate http-mock myobject

I found afterwards that my package.json file had been updated from express 4.12.4 to 4.13.0

 - "express": "^4.12.4",

 + "express": "^4.13.0",

Our Ember CLI version has remained constant, it just so happens express released a new version (https://github.com/strongloop/express/releases/tag/4.13.0) between the first time we used http-mock and today.

We would rather manage dependency changes by themselves as and when we want to, but still be able to create new http-mock's when we want them. Can I run the command slightly differently to prevent express upgrading it's version?

Solution

  • This was identified as undesired behavior in Ember CLI 1.13.1 and has been fixed as an enhancement under this pull request https://github.com/ember-cli/ember-cli/pull/4452.

    To stop http-mock from updating express etc the answer is to upgrade to the next version of Ember CLI after 1.13.1, when it is released.
