Vue-cli: vue init webpack hangs

[Pasch1000]

When I execute command vue init webpack my-project it hangs on project name question. I cannot enter anything, ENTER does not work as well. I try to execute it on Win 10 in command line as well as in git bash, the same effect in both.

Just wanted to write about this too. I have the same issue:

$ vue init webpack vue

? Project name vue
? Project description (A Vue.js project)

At this step it hangs and it doesn't even allows to exit with Ctrl+C/Ctrl+D

I'm on MacOS

Same issue with my custom template I made from scratch. Hangs every time on second question. Have to force close the terminal to exit. I bet it worked a few days ago as I remember. It may be related with recent npm update.

I tried to downgrade it up to v2.0.0 and there is the same issue. Very strange. Maybe that is because I'm installing it with yarn... npm just throws an error when trying to install vue-cli, but it is probably has something to do with my setups

Downgrading Node from 8.1.0 to 8.0.0 solves the issue

Same issue with Win10 and Node 8.1.0 and NPM 5.0.3.

[Pasch1000]

Thanks ilearnio. Downgradinig node to 8.0 / 6 fixes the problem.

downgrading to 8.0.0 works

dup of #482
It looks like a patch was released with node 8.1.1 but I'm haven't tried myself

Tested with NodeJS 9.0 and 8.1.1 nightly. Yields "You must upgrade node to >=>=4.0.0.x to use vue-cli".
lol.
