Expected or Desired Behavior

When running yo @microsoft/sharepoint, it would ask for _"Which baseline packages do you want to target for your components(s)?"_ as second question.

Observed Behavior

It doesn't ask for the baseline packages, but instead defaults to on-prem settings.

PS C:\git> yo @microsoft/sharepoint

     _-----_
    |       |    .--------------------------.
    |--(o)--|    |      Welcome to the      |
   `---------´   |  SharePoint Client-side  |
    ( _´U`_ )    |    Solution Generator    |
    /___A___\    '--------------------------'
     |  ~  |
   __'.___.'__
 ´   `  |° ´ Y `

Let's create a new SharePoint solution.
? What is your solution name? SharePoint.SPFx.HttpFetch
? Where do you want to place the files? Create a subfolder with solution name
Found npm version 6.4.1
? Which type of client-side component to create? WebPart
Add new Web part (on-prem) to solution share-point-sp-fx-http-fetch.
? What is your Web part (on-prem) name? HttpFetch
? What is your Web part (on-prem) description? HttpFetch description
? Which framework would you like to use? No JavaScript framework

Steps to Reproduce

1. Install 1.9.1 version of @microsoft/generator-sharepoint
2. Run yo @microsoft/sharepoint

Workaround

1. Use --environment parameter when calling yo: yo @microsoft/sharepoint --environment "spo"

Hi @jpalo

Sounds like you may have initiated the command in an existing SPFx solution folder, and/or there is an existing .yo-rc.json file higher up in your folder structure. (SPFx solutions allow you add multiple webparts/extensions to a single SPFx project)

So if there is an existing .yo-rc.json file, it will re-use that configuration... instead of asking you to select an environment.

Thank you very much for pointing out this "user error", I had apparently created SPFx project to the root some time earlier by mistake and didn't realize it. 😊
