Maybe it just takes very long and I'm too impatient? Is there a way to get more logs?

[Ollitod]

Same here. I executed [email protected] on Windows 10 and after an hour it is still stuck in "Creating your workspace".

[Markus-Ende]

Small updsate: v16 also doesn't work, last working version on my machine is 15.

[Markus-Ende]

update: tried with v17.3.0, it still does not work

[schoggobaer]

It also did not work for me with the same command

ProductName:            macOS
ProductVersion:         14.2.1
BuildVersion:           23C71

[Markus-Ende]

Another update: it did work on an older non-M1 macbook.

[Markus-Ende]

Update: still not working with 18.2.4

[BaggersIO]

Same here. Still not working.

I'm using Windows 10, node v20, taking more than one hour to generate the workspace :/

[matthew-shirey]

Is there a workaround... any? Suggested last version to use? I'm stuck here too and this seems like a rather severe blocker. I'm surprised that there's no helpful information here considering how long this one's been reported. Any help would greatly be appreciated. Thank you.

Getting the same result. I'm running it on WSL2 Ubuntu running nix dev shell, using NX v19.2.3.

Ok, maybe I was too early to post it. The command worked this time, but it took 27m57s. I know this since I use Starship to measure the length of a shell command. That's too slow, and something is definitely wrong.

Currently running into this as well. Ubuntu 22 on x86. EDIT: finally worked, but took at least ~15 minutes.

I just hit this one again. On Windows 11, this command worked fine. On an up-to-date Manjaro Linux, it just hangs. I left it for well over an hour with no progress. Is there any logging that can be turned on to maybe get a bit of feedback regarding what it's not doing?
