Visual Studio not responding when creating new SPFx project

[gonadn]

Observed Behavior

Only a few files and folders are created (bin, obj and the project file), and the process never completes. Visual studio 2017 are not responding. Using .NET framework 4.6.1 in VS 2017 pro. VS just hanging on creating the project and never get finished, you have to just kill the process, close VS.

Steps to Reproduce

Create new SPFx web part project, select name and location, select component name and start generating.....

Please respond with the installed version of the generator using the following:

npm list -g @microsoft/generator-sharepoint

i just tried to create a SPFx project, and as i mentioned above VS is hanging / freezed . i waited for at least 5 min before i had to just kill the process.

VS: Not Responding:

Folder structure looks like:

The latest version of the generator has caused this issue. Thanks for reporting it.

As a work-around, click on the Advanced tab and tick the box to Show Command window. You will see a prompt for tenant deployment in the window. Answer that prompt as appropriate. Once the generator finishes, type exit and press enter to complete the generator. Visual Studio will then continue and create the project.

I tried the workaround as you described, VS finished creating the project, but when i open the project it looks like:

none of the folders or files are loaded...

Another possible work-around. On the advanced tab, add the "skipFeatureDeployment" option to the command-line shown.

yo @microsoft/sharepoint --solutionName "hello-world" --framework "react" --componentType "webpart" --componentName "HelloWorld" --componentDescription "HelloWorld web part" skipFeatureDeployment true

oki thanks, but when will this bug be fixed?

Did you test your workarounds?

[eshupps]

We are working on it. In the meantime, you may explicitly get a previous version of the yeoman generator that does not include the new prompt or use the workaround described by Paul.

what was the previous version number?

[gonadn]

Best workaround for this is just to remove the new generator:

npm rm -g @microsoft/generator-sharepoint

and install the previous version: npm install -g @microsoft/generator-sharepoint@1.1.3

[gonadn]

any fix on this bug?
