CLI crashes when searching for NPM generators
Never used yeoman before (on this machine/job anyway, I've used it at home). Installed it a few minutes ago. It crashed quickly:
versions:
$ yo --version && echo $PATH $NODE_PATH && node -e 'console.log(process.platform, process.versions)' && cat Gruntfile.js
1.5.0

Works for me. You're probably just having connection problems.

That's not the same. Different tool and different server.
Try again a few times and see if it's repeatable.
Are you behind a proxy or firewall of some kind?
I bet it's because we are using a pass-through NPM repo:
$ cat ~/.npmrc
registry=http://xxx.mycompany.com/xxx/api/npm/npm-repo
I don't know why that would break your tool but that seems like the most likely culprit.
@jcollum We don't spawn npm as the npm CLI search is just too slow. Instead we use package-json which talks directly to the npm server. It does support custom registries defined in .npmrc.
Try console.log'ing what URL is being used here: https://github.com/sindresorhus/package-json/blob/6f9a9da97f26b2d3e536ddd853de092aff478c2e/index.js#L22 (in the dependency in the node_modules folder inside yo.
We are planning to switch from the npm search to our custom server to speed it up further: https://github.com/yeoman/yo/issues/361 That would solve your issue automagically. Someone needs to do it, though.

I tried console logging on the line you asked for but it isn't hitting that line. That aaa.bbb.com is our local npm repo (changed the URL to hide our operations details). It seems very likely that our npm repo doesn't support something that your app is relying on. I'm saying it's probably our fault.
I just tried to search for an angular generator and hit this error again. I had forgotten about it! Do you have any suggestions?
@eddiemonge is working on https://github.com/yeoman/yo/issues/361 which will fix your problem.
