Description

I just wanted to setup a new blank app using rc-apps create and received the following error after filling out the prompts:

❯  216_rocketchat-app-otrs  rc-apps create
Let's get started creating your app.
We need some information first:

Workaround

Running npm install @types/node within the current working directoy where the command (rc-apps create) was issues, fixes the problem.

Environment

  • OS: macOS 10.15.3
  • Node: v13.8.0
  • NPM: 6.13.7
  • @rocket.chat/apps-cli: latest/1.6.0
