I have an existing project running on hipster 3.6.1, and I wanted to upgrade it to 3.12.2. I followed the process of upgrade described in jhipster website, but the hipster_upgrade branch generated still mentions the old version of the sub-generator.
Forced update using npm
While running the following command npm install -g generator-jhipster, it shows me the following
npm WARN deprecated node-uuid@1.4.7: use uuid module instead
npm WARN deprecated npmconf@2.1.2: this package has been reintegrated into npm and is now out of date with respect to npm
/usr/local/lib
└── generator-jhipster@3.12.2
Then I run yo jhipster --force --with-entities, and this is the output:
Welcome to the JHipster Generator v3.6.1
Documentation for creating an application: https://jhipster.github.io/creating-an-app/
Application files will be generated in folder: /Users/bso/Projects/portal ______________________________________________________________________________
JHipster update available: 3.12.2 (current: 3.6.1)
Run npm install -g generator-jhipster to update.

Reinstall jhipster generator
when doing npm i generator-jhipster, the jhipster generator is updated to 3.12.2, but when reprocessing the upgrade, it comes back to 3.6.1.
Any clue on why this happens?
The last comment added by @Jinna is resolving the issue. I found two jhipster generators in two different locations in my system, so that was the issue...
Steps to make it work: 1- npm link generatir-jhipster 2- delete the generator in the ~/.node_modules, the one that should remain is the one under /usr/loca/
