Bug

What is the current behavior?
when creating a new PWA with following command:
preact create default --name caf-menu --git --force --yarn
I get this output:
⚠ WARN Insufficient command arguments! Prompting...
ℹ INFO Alternatively, run preact create --help for usage info.
? Directory to create the app caf-menu
? Install dependencies Yes
ℹ INFO Assuming you meant preactjs-templates/default...
⠙ Installing dependenciesError: Exited with status 1

And the created folder-structure looks like this:
caf-menu

• node_modules (contains folders for packages, but they're empty, so node_modules is 0kb)
• src (contains expected files)
• .gitignore
• package.json
• README.md
• yarn-error.log

yarn-error.log looks like this:

  /home/Marius/.nvm/versions/node/v8.2.1/bin/node /home/Marius/.nvm/versions/node/v8.2.1/bin/yarn install

If the current behavior is a bug, please provide the steps to reproduce.
See above

What is the expected behavior?
That the command doesn't exit with an error and works like it did on preact-cli version 1.4

Please mention other relevant information.

• node version v8.2.1
• npm version 5.5.1
• yarn version 0.27.5
• Operating system Windows 10 pro 1709 (using Windows Subsystem for Linux)
• Preact-cli version 2.0.1

After upgrading yarn to v1.2.1 the same bug remains

[m4r1vs]

See also this and this issue on that topic

[lukeed]

I think #409 might fix this issue.

[m4r1vs]

No, I don't think so, the name in package.json is correct and I think it's a WSL/YARN realated issue. The only reason it might not be is because it worked before on Preact CLI v1.4

[ssteinerx]

Not sure if this is related, but I tried to create/install with:

preact create--yarn --git --install default ssteinerX-preact
ℹ INFO Assuming you meant preactjs-templates/default...
⠦ Installing dependenciesError: Exited with status 1

And the "name" field in package.json was, literally "{{name}}" which yarn didn't like at all.

There was no log file, just package.json and the src/ directory.

[m4r1vs]

Yeah, that's another issue. For now add the --name flag to the Preact create command and the name is correct in package.json :)
I've already corrected this bug and now I'm facing the issue I described above

[Dylanderv]

Hi, I have the same issue right now with:
preact create default new-project
It give me this:

ℹ INFO Assuming you meant preactjs-templates/default...
⠸ Installing dependenciesError: Exited with status 1

The ǹew-project folder is created with:

• a package.json file:

{
  "private": true,
  "name": "new-project",
  "version": "0.0.0",
  "license": "MIT",
  "scripts": {
    "start": "if-env NODE_ENV=production && npm run -s serve || npm run -s dev",
    "build": "preact build",
    "serve": "preact build && preact serve",
    "dev": "preact watch",
    "lint": "eslint src"
  },
  "eslintConfig": {
    "extends": "eslint-config-synacor"
  },
  "eslintIgnore": [
    "build/*"
  ],
  "devDependencies": {
    "eslint": "^4.5.0",
    "eslint-config-synacor": "^1.1.0",
    "if-env": "^1.0.0",
    "preact-cli": "^2.0.0"
  },
  "dependencies": {
    "preact": "^8.2.1",
    "preact-compat": "^3.17.0",
    "preact-router": "^2.5.5"
  }
}

As well as a README.md and a src folder.

If I do a npm start it compile well and the app seems to work.

I'm a beginner with preact and preact-cli, I'm maybe missing something.

[reznord]

@Dylanderv are you using the latest version of CLI? v2.0.2

[reznord]

@m4r1vs this is fixed in v2.0.2, it works fine, just checked. Thanks for finding this issue. 😄

[Dylanderv]

@reznord Yes, I'm using preact-cli@2.0.2

[reznord]

@Dylanderv ummm....I just checked it in my machine and it was working fine for me. Can you please give me the steps to reproduce this?

[Dylanderv]

I'm not doing anything more than preact create default new-project.
I first had a problem with my corporate proxy (see #421), but i'm working this around using an external connection without proxy.

I'm using node v8.4.0 and npm 5.3.0 with nvm on Debian stretch.

[developit]

@Dylanderv are you using Sinopia/Verdaccio by any chance?

[reznord]

Can't reproduce this in the latest version of CLI (closing for now).

Feel free to re-open if anyone still faces the same issue.
