If we execute commands:

npm i @vue/cli @vue/cli-upgrade
vue upgrade

and get the following result:

Command vue upgrade requires a global addon to be installed. Please run yarn global add @vue/cli-upgrade and try again.

Now we open %AppData%\npm\node_modules\@vue\cli\lib\util\loadCommand.js, navigate to line 11 catch (err2), add console.log(err2), run Vue upgrade, get the following results:

Error: Cannot find module ‘@vue/cli-shared-utils’

However, we can find the @vue/cli-shared-utils module in the %AppData%\Roaming\npm\node_modules\@vue\cli\node_modules\@vue\ directory.

Now let’s execute commands:

npm uninstall @vue/cli @vue/cli-upgrade -g
yarn global add @vue/cli @vue/cli-upgrade
vue upgrade

and get the following result:

✔ Gathering update information… Already up-to-date.

But one thing that puzzles me is: The expected result could not be obtained yesterday through the following command

npm i yarn -g
yarn global add @vue/cli @vue/cli-upgrade
vue upgrade

I have to use the separate yarn installer to install yarn and then execute other commands. But today there is no problem.

npm i @vue/cli @vue/cli-upgrade -g worked for me (Node 12)
