Stuck on "Writing your app name in the sand" when generating a new app

[daniel]

What's going on?

When I try to generate a new app the ignite command gets stuck at the last step ("Writing your app name in the sand") - I never get back to the bash prompt.

---

Steps to reproduce

1. npx ignite-cli new PizzaApp
2. Wait until your patience runs out (in my case around 25 minutes).

@daniel First off, congrats on getting daniel as your Github username. Secondly, can you run it with --debug and post the results? (it'll be pretty verbose, but the primary thing I'm looking for is any errors toward the end of the output).

[daniel]

@jamonholmgren Thanks, I was a beta tester 😄.

Here's the output - I don't see any errors.

[daniel]

I can start the app after running yarn, so it might be that the only problem is that the process doesn't exit properly.

[frankcalise]

Hi @daniel - is this still an issue for you when using the latest version of ignite?

[joshuayoes]

There has been a lot of changes since this issue last had activity. This is going to be closed for now, but please re-open if this still needs attention.
