Cli: Unable to create new project with the '--template standard' flag

[jwalke]

Summary

The force:project:create command fails when I attempt to use the --template standard flag

Steps To Reproduce:

1. Run the command sfdx force:project:create -n myProject --template standard

Expected result

A project is created with the new project scaffold described in the v. 45.3.1 release notes

Actual result

No project is created and the following error is returned:

'ERR_ASSERTION': Trying to copy from a source that does not exist: /Users/walkej/.local/share/sfdx/client/node_modules/force-language-services/dist/project/templates/.gitignore

Additional information

SFDX CLI Version:
sfdx-cli/6.54.4-c01dcc69db (darwin-x64) node-v8.9.4

45.3.4

@jwalke As a workaround, run touch /Users/walkej/.local/share/sfdx/client/node_modules/force-language-services/dist/project/templates/.gitignore and then re-run the command. Seems like we did not publish the .gitingnore for the project template. We'll file a bug and fix this asap.

Thanks for reporting. It looks like the .gitignore file isn't in the bundle because NPM automatically ignores those files. We will get this fixed.

This same error is happening in Windows 10, someone knows what can be done to solve it.

@hadesproject10 This actually was fixed a while ago, we forgot to close the bug. I think you are running and older version of sfdx. Please run sfdx update.

Hello
I'm facing the same issue as @vkvikashkr47 when I create a project

{ AssertionError [ERR_ASSERTION]: Trying to copy from a source that does not exist: C:\Program Files (x86)\Salesforce CLI\client\node_modules\salesforcedx-templates\lib\templates\project\standard\ScratchDef.json

This is my actual version : sfdx-cli: Updating CLI... already on latest version: 7.33.2-045d48473e

[vkvikashkr47]

Well I had uninstalled and installing again in the default directory
