It seems to just stop?

[kkjdaniel]

I run the command in my project, it quickly lists all the files its processing and then suddenly stalls and doesn't appear to continue.

Any help?

How long are you noticing it stall for? If you're project is large, it can take a bit of time to traverse everything (minutes, in the case of an extremely large project I've seen).

It appears to have stopped here and hasn't continued for about 10 minutes...

EDIT: Going on 20 now, with no further output.

@kkjdaniel can you share a gist with the symptomatic package.json?

[kkjdaniel]

@zumwald Here is a link... https://gist.github.com/kkjdaniel/acb9dd4c007b5f12bdceaab67d6564bc

[kkjdaniel]

@zumwald Any luck spotting what might be causing the issue?

[zumwald]

@kkjdaniel tried installing your package.json as-is and it errors due to your dependency on fs@* - is there a reason you're specifying a built-in module? My Node version is 6.10.3 and npm is at 3.10.10 (slightly lagging latest LTS, but not far off). I also noticed your dependencies contain a number of packages which appear to actually be devDependencies, it'd be helpful for you to keep those distinctions accurate for using this tool.

Here's the full repro steps in Powershell on Windows:

PS N:\repos> mkdir test

It's also hanging for me:

And all I have in the package.json's dependencies is:

    "dependencies": {
        "chai": "^3.5.0",
        "react": "15.4.2",
        "react-native": "0.42.3"
    }

This is happening both on Node v6.10 and Node v8.5.0 (I used nvm to switch to see if that was causing it).

Edit:

I tried isolating the package.json as mentioned in the previous comment and I can do the npm i step just fine, and when I do the attribution-generator, it still hangs at the same place. Moving chai to the devDependencies block makes no difference.

I trimmed my package.json file to the following, and the issue can still be reproduced:

{
    "name": "foo",
    "version": "1.0.0",
    "description": "foo",
    "main": "index.js",
    "author": "bar",
    "license": "ISC",
    "dependencies": {
        "react": "15.4.2"
    }
}

Edit 2:

It seems that it does eventually finish, but it takes hours to finish (I let it run for 3 hours and it finally did finish).

I've noticed this too, perf is unacceptable. This, along with proper testing and CI/CD are on my radar to tackle before the holidays. I recognize that without the latter two, contributions are high-friction which makes this issue all the more painful for you @Kyle-Falconer.
