Vue-cli: Can't use arrow keys to select options in Git Bash when running `vue create my-project`

Created on 8 Aug 2018 · 6Comments · Source: vuejs/vue-cli

Version

3.0.0-rc.11

Node and OS info

Node 8.11.2 / npm 5.6.0 / Windows 10

Steps to reproduce

In Git Bash:

$ vue create my-project

This produces the following output:

? Please pick a preset: (Use arrow keys)
> default (babel, eslint)
  Manually select features

Using the arrow keys does not move the angle bracket selector, but just moves the cursor up and down, which can be moved anywhere on the screen. Pressing down once does result in selecting "Manually select features" but without visual feedback.

What is expected?

Angle bracket selector should move up and down with arrow keys.

What is actually happening?

Angle bracket selector does not move. Cursor moves but is free floating and there is no visual feedback to show you the current selection.

The default Git Bash is not an interactive terminal. You need to use something that is actually interactive or use winpty vue.cmd create hello-world
