@ksbbf Thanks for the bug report. I will take a look. the error hints at a problem with the @exitdb/exist package. Are you sure that you are using node version 10?? That has been end of life for quite some time. Have you tried with a more recent (18 or 20) version of node?

oh, sorry. you're right: node version: 21.5.0 npm version: 10.2.4

@ksbbf so far I can"t reproduce the error the generator is running fine. What is the output yo doctor on your system?

[duncdrum]

I see a problem with yo@5 in the meantime using yo@4 works fine. I ll have to dig into the incompatibility with yeoman v5. But that will take some time, as I have a rather full schedule atm.

[ksbbf]

@duncdrum Yes, that's a solution. I downgraded to yo@4 with

npm uninstall yo npm install -g yo@4

After the questionaire several files were downloaded. the result looks like an existapp. (But there were several warnings) I think, i can start from here. Thanks!

I believe we're done here.

the warnings are likely related to node v 21. these should go away soon, once I manage to do the upgrade to yo v 5. Thanks for the feedback
