yo generator ends straight away without creating any structure or error

I want to create a custom generator in an empty folder.

npm 5.6.0 node 8.9.1 yo 2.0.0

So the first prompt will call the npm API to check if the name is available. I wonder if somehow (maybe a corporate proxy or a firewall on your machine) is blocking this call and failing the process silently..?

[MuhammadTaha]

Might be a possibility but is there any way I can debug the real issue in it?

[SBoudrias]

Well, you could check the code and try to log somewhere. I don't know why the error is being silenced, but most likely a promise silence the error.

[MuhammadTaha]

Ohkay. Thanks for the guideline.

This is also happening for me, either using company proxy or not. Exits silently after ask ing all the prompts.

Are you sure there's no asynchronous locks? Like a done = this.async() not being called?

I believe this issue may be associated with the registry URL in the .npmrc file. I was having this same issue and my .npmrc was configured to use a VSTS registry path. When I commented out the VSTS registry path in the .npmrc file, everything started working.

Hope this helps!

This is happening for me as well, and clearing out .npmrc didn't seem to help

This is happening for me using following configuration:

• npm , 6.6.0
• node, 10.15.0
• yo, 2.0.5

Then I decided to downgrade yo to [email protected] , and the problem disappear. Hence it is likely compatibility issue with npm or node.

I am having exactly same issue with following configuration:
