Thanks

It explicitly says I'm not allowed to tell you that the auto upgrade doesn't work for me and there's no details on how to do it manually.

Sigh I'll try again in a few months.. maybe.

The document I linked too contains the language and std-lib changes between 0.18 and 0.19, for the rest you use new packages.

If you don't want to upgrade that's fine, but you're literally staring at the information on what to do.

What if you created elm.js and compiled your code, and fixed what doesn't work according to the changes (https://github.com/elm/compiler/blob/master/upgrade-docs/0.1...)?

Uh… what? All it says is that elm-upgrade exists but is an alpha, and issues should be reported to the elm-upgrade repository.

Error message states

Do not post about the alpha/RC version of elm-upgrade on reddit, twitter, HN , discourse etc

That's already an issue about alpha.elm-lang.org being broken, changing it to point at package.elm-lang.org gets me further but the next set of errors are so unhelpful I'm giving up.

It's just telling you that it's pointless to post about issues on social media because the tool is in alpha and is obviously going to fail in many cases…
