`npx typewriter init` does nothing #249

Open alete89 opened 2 years ago

alete89 commented 2 years ago

running npx typewriter init in an empty project directory with a package.json and analytics-node installed does nothing else than showing a message.

running on Ubuntu 20.04, Node 16.13.2, npm 8.3.1, analytics-node 6.0.0, typewriter 7.4.1.

I think this might be an issue with your terminal emulator - it displays an interactive prompt for me in an empty npm project: typewriter-init

So, I'm having the exact same problem (running on Ubuntu 20.04, Node 16.15.1, npm 8.11.0) and I've so far tried with multiple terminal emulators without any success, but for some some reason the command works perfectly everywhere when I run it with sudo :clown_face:

Anyway, as my friend @adrifmonte pointed out, the interactive prompt is there, it's just not visible. So at each step I copied the content and pasted it into a text editor, just so I could see what I was doing. It was a pain and I know it's not a real solution, but at least I was able to complete every step :shrug:

@giovanna-guimaraes agree, not an ideal solution. Does this work in the new v8 release for you? I'll give it a try on Ubuntu, we switched out of the old rendering system (which was kind of an overkill for typewriter to be sincere).

What I do to solve this is use FORCE_COLOR=0 npx typewriter init to force it to be visible
