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.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Locate where the error message is generated in the codebase. Add a version check for Elm 0.18 and output a more descriptive error suggesting the user upgrade Elm or use a compatible version.
