Description
When I do /spawner (While looking at a spawner) it says that the target block must be a spawner.

Steps to reproduce
Simply look at a spawner and do /spawner (Any mob type)

Expected behavior
It should change the spawner type to what I put down. eg; /Spawner Skeleton

Screenshots
I can't seem to upload them to Gist. But all they say are things I've already said.

You didn't post the full output of /ess version.

This is fixed in the 1.13 branch - you need to use experimental builds for this to work on 1.13.2.
