polymer init still not working

[mgvs]

Windows 10 Home 64bit,

polymer --version
1.9.2
npm --version
6.4.1
git --version
git version 2.19.1.windows.1

Init script stuck at

polymer init
? Which starter template would you like to use? polymer-3-application
info:   Running template polymer-3-application...

There is gitignore (without dot at the begin) at \node_modules\polymer-cli\templates(application|elements)\polymer-3.x. I also tried to add .gitignore and .npmignore

On Windows 10, Polymer version 1.9.7 still hangs when running the polymer init command and making a selection. Can we get an update on this?

I have upgraded to Polymer CLI 1.9.9, but it still hangs and doesn't do anything on windows. Is there any fix?

[aneesshameed]

It works; Instead of going through polymer cli menu if you directly use polymer init polymer-3-starter-kit in terminal,

polymer init still doesn't work for me on Windows, even when providing a full command like polymer init polymer-3-element. However, polymer init polymer-3-starter-kit was fine. My environment is as follow:

• Windows version: Version 1803 (Build 17134.765)
• Npm: 6.4.1
• Polymer: 1.9.0-pre.2

Do we have an update? Or what can be missing?

Looks like I can get it to work on Windows 10 by using the Git Bash shell, but still not working from a native Windows Command Prompt.

polymer init still not working for

• Npm 6.12.1

Polymer CLI is deprecated and its not further developed. There was an article about this on March-2019. Polymer team has developers to move something else like Webpack CLI. But there is no guide on how to start a project. From my personal experience, I would recommend you to use the following command instead. vue create hello-world

For newer projects open-wc is recommended by the community that provides both webpack and rollup support

Good day 🐱‍👤,

Recently I had this issue and my way to solve it was the following. Take into account this "error" is because the node version is not supported for Polymer:

• Install NVM to manage your node version. If you want you could use this guide https://linuxhint.com/downgrade-node-version-windows/
• Change your node version to 14 or similar with NVM.
• Implement polymer init 😊.
• Enjoy your Polymer coding!!

Installling node 14 worked. Thanks mate @WilliamCastr0
