Description

Now if I run elm-test@beta with Elm 0.18 binaries I got following error:

elm-test internal error: got an unexpected result from 'elm make' when validating transitive dependencies.  Please report this at https://github.com/rtfeldman/node-test-runner/issues

Probably error message can be improved by checking if Elm version is 0.18.

Research direction

Start by tracing the validation of transitive dependencies invoked by elm-test@beta with Elm 0.18 binaries. Check how the Elm version and unexpected elm make result are handled; done means incompatible Elm 0.18 usage produces a clearer error message instead of the internal error.
