Ember windows hangs after Confirm: Do you want to proceed (Y/N): ?

[tomaszs]

I have installed ember windows and execute ember windows command on a Windows 7 system from bash executed as an admin.

It shows:

Do you want to proceed (Y/N)? Cursor shows up in the new line after this question.

When i type Y and enter - nothing happens, The same for y and for n.

Cursor just goes into next line and i can type and type and press enter and nothing happens. No errors are displayed

Expected result:

I type y and the process goes further.

I am also having this issue. I am on Windows 10, I get the same result in both admin and non-admin versions of powershell. This result also happens if I try to just use a vanilla cmd command prompt.

I am having the same issue on Windows 7.

Same here. Windows 7

In my case the problem was that I was not running the command in the Windows PowerShell utility. I thought it was enough to launch the cmd utility as an administrator and run the command there, but it was not. Once I used PowerShell everything worked as expected.

This might depend on how you installed it.

Solution

If you installed it as a project dependency using npm i ember-cli-windows-addon (with or without --save-dev), remove that using npm un ember-cli-windows-addon.

Then use the following commands (note, there's no -addon):

npm install -g ember-cli-windows
ember-cli-windows

Remember to use an elevated PowerShell. If there was an error, try executing Set-ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted -scope Process first.

Confirmed, Powershell ember-cli-windows worked, but ember-cli-windows seems to work from an admin cmd shell as well

I was freezing before with the addon (ember windows) under both cmd and powershell with node 6 and 8.

FWIW I dont think I ever actually saw the documentation on these repos, just the bits from stackoverflow and finally the advice in the ember-cli windows section to use the addon.

Should ember-cli's documentation use this global or the addon? If someone found the addon first should it tell them to use ember-cli-windows first?
