@Groxot, lb4 datasource and lb4 service can only be run within a valid LoopBack 4 application. In case you don't have it, you can run lb4 app to create an LB4 application first, and then create the datasource and services within the application folder.

It is strange though, because if the directory you're in is not a valid LoopBack 4 application, I got this error:

Generation is aborted: Error: No package.json found in <<my file path>>. The command must be run in a LoopBack project.

Hope it helps.

@dhmlau Thanks for the quick response
I run it in folder with project, generated by lb4 app

@Groxot, I thought the behavior on Windows might be a bit different, but I just tried it on Windows and it seems to be working as expected.

D:\loopback\test-0115>lb4 datasource
? Datasource name:

Having said that, there's a bug in cli and we just released a new release of @loopback/cli. Could you please update and try again? Thanks!
