According to the polymer-cli help, it should work if you use the --name parameter, but that also doesn't work:

08:37:54 ~/my-app$ polymer init --name polymer-starter-kit-custom-build
info:    Running template polymer-init-polymer-starter-kit-custom-build:app...
error:   Template polymer-init-polymer-starter-kit-custom-build:app not found

It does seem to work if I just run polymer init and select it from the menu though.

08:38:05 ~/my-app$ polymer --version 1.5.7

It's a bit strange.

• It doesn't work: polymer init polymer-starter-kit-custom-build
• It works: polymer init & select polymer-starter-kit-custom-build
• It works: polymer init custom-build

@FredKSchott It seems somewhat related to the CLI. You know?

[stramel]

@abdonrd it looks like just a labelling mismatch. The CLI looks for generator-polymer-init- when you pass an argument to polymer init. When it generates the list it is pulling the title from the generator's package.json https://github.com/PolymerElements/generator-polymer-init-custom-build/blob/74f92ffed07d3d4c582805918a55b74e6d21dab2/generators/app/package.json#L2
