Same error:

// in docker container running node:latest
root@6d8e7e7ba219:/home/node/app# node -v && npm -v
v13.5.0
6.13.4

// in host shell
C:\Users\maxir>docker -v
Docker version 19.03.5, build 633a0ea

Edit
Running npm i -g create-nuxt-app solved it for me.
I have been able to run npm init nuxt-app . flawlessly.

Same issue here:

• Using from a docker container (VS Code Remote Extensions)
• running npm i -g create-nuxt-app solved it.

I created a website on nuxt and have a infinite loader on the feed on the landing. Gives me great performance using vue and server render. Any thoughts?

FYI you have to login to enjoy the feed :-p

Fixed it with @cmaneu answer npm i -g create-nuxt-app and then ran the npx create-nuxt-app command again.

I got the same error. I used Node.js version 14.x, then switched to Node.js version 12.x and the problem was fixed.

[Soviut]

Tried node 14, 14-alpine, 12, 12-alpine and all yielded the same error.

I had to shell into a node container, install globally and then npm init.

MSYS_NO_PATHCONV=1 docker run --rm -it -v `pwd`:/usr/src -w /usr/src node:12 sh

$ npm install -g create-nuxt-app
$ npm init nuxt-app .

The MSYS_NO_PATHCONV=1 is to make sure the pwd maps the volume correctly correctly in git-bash.

@LukeP1 From the log, the error seems from ejs and there is an issue there as well https://github.com/mde/ejs/issues/487 , I think we can open an issue there and figure out a fix.

I got the same error using Node v12.18.0. Then I tried npm i -g create-nuxt-app, leading to the error

i encounter same issue.

It's seem that Docker daemon always runs as the root user, we not allow to use root user to run npx command.

[hibriiiiidge]

I have same problem.
I resolved the problem, install [email protected] before $ npm init nuxt-app . or $ npx create-nuxt-app

# in Node.js container
$ npm install -g [email protected] 

versions

# in Node.js container
root@204c32b15683:/app# node -v
v14.3.0
root@204c32b15683:/app# npm -v

root@204c32b15683:/app# nuxt -v

I was encountering the same issue just a little while ago, but I seem to have fixed it by using a different non-root account. I'm not sure why but it worked for me.
