Feathers: Quick Start Prompt Errors at npm start (El Capitain 10.11.6, npm 3.8.3)

[idkjs]

After following the steps in the Quick Start I get dropped into this command prompt: local@klik$ from which I can not run npm start. Pic attached. Exiting allows me to run npm start but the program outputs a 404 error page(even if i correct "chat" to "message") Any idea what is going on here? Thanks.

I just ran

npm install feathers-cli
mkdir testapp
cd testapp
feathers generate
feathers generate service # call service message
npm start

And going to localhost:3030/messages showed what I would expect.

@daffl any idea why i get "local@klik"? I get this working by running "exit" at local@klik prompt. @marshallswain suggested in Slack that the program wasnt exiting out of the generator as expected. Why would this be the case?

Update: I ran this again in a different directory and I dont get the "local@klik" prompt at the end. Its exits the generator and give me the usual command prompt. I dont know what the difference is. Just an FYI. Going to close this.

Just an FYI to you guys. I ran 4 generate service commands one after the other. This is what happened. Notice the bold after each series of questions. Sometimes the service exits, sometimes you have to type 'exit' command to get out. It works but I thought i would share since this doesnt seem to be expected.

Thanks @aarmand. This is resolved with the new release that is coming but we'll leave this open for visibility until that lands.

This is now fixed. npm install -g [email protected]. 💥
