I can confirm the same behavior on OSX 10.12.1.

Same here on OSX 10.12.3, Node.js 7.5.0

Same on ubuntu 16... altho after trying this with a new LB app (created just to test this, and it works fine on new app) perhaps the problem is with datasource conf. Originally the api generator worked fine when my models were backed by memory, but once I switched to mongo, it failed. Just a theory...

[jdschreck]

This still seems to be a problem. Is there any hope for addressing it?

[anagrath]

I had this working with lb, but now my lb started generating an empty file and my build and development environment is broken.

slc generates the json, but it does not exit. what a pita
