Describe the Bug

Following the instructions in the book I'm getting this error:

$ npm init wasm-app www
npm error could not determine executable to run

$ rustc --version

Steps to Reproduce

Follow the tutorial

cargo generate --git https://github.com/rustwasm/wasm-pack-template

# enter wasm-game-of-life

cd wasm-game-of-life

wasm-pack build

npm init wasm-app www

Expected Behavior

The www directory should be created with the web page project to use the output of the rust wasm build.

Actual Behavior

This error:

npm error could not determine executable to run
npm error A complete log of this run can be found in: C:\Users\jason\scoop\persist\nodejs\cache\_logs\2024-07-21T23_51_45_084Z-debug-0.log

Happens with these commands I tried

npm init wasm-app www
npm init wasm-app
npx create-wasm-app www
npx create-wasm-app
npm create wasm-app www

Additional Context

Using Windows 10 and tried with git bash and windows command prompt

my solution (it's weird but works for me):

on your wasm-game-of-life directory,

npm install -g create-wasm-app

new a package.json file in root dir:

{
"dependencies": {
"create-wasm-app": "/usr/local/lib/node_modules/create-wasm-app"
}
}

npm install
npm init wasm-app www

my environment:

npm verbose os Darwin 21.6.0
npm verbose node v22.5.1
npm verbose npm  v10.8.2

ditto error as reported by JasonGoemaat above

ditto, identical workaround solution as reported by deanbear above (thank you!)
