Can't generate a new service (Node 6.2.0 on Mac OS X 10.11.5)

Here's a copy of my terminal output:

$ feathers generate service

? What do you want to call your service? user
? What type of service do you need? database

? Does your service require users to be authenticated? Yes

The user service is kind of special and is generated when creating a new application. The error happens since the generator doesn't know about the selected providers later on.

Hi,

I'm facing exactly the same issue as described above, so how to generate user service properly ? Did i need to ignore complety the cli tool, why allowing such things if u already know this will generate errors, i'm confused .

[daffl]

You generate the service when generating a new app and it asks if you want to use authentication. Alternatively you can upgrade to the latest version of the CLI (npm install feathers-cli@pre -g) which generates a new structure that does not have the problem.

Upgraded to the latest version of the CLI fix the problem, great, thanx for your reactivity :)
