workbox wizard hangs on Windows after the first step

[ConnorPoort]

I am setting up a PWA and trying to add a Service Worker using Work Box. When I type 'Workbox Wizard' in to the terminal, only the first question about the root file is being asked and then the terminal freezes and I can't type anything else. Please help!

Library Affected:
workbox-sw

Steps already taken

Uninstalled and reinstalled the workbx cli, uninstalled and reinstalled NodeJS entirely, restarted computer several times

Using workbox-cli@alpha on npm should pick up our 4.0.0 alpha releases now, which contain a fix.

Feel free to read the release notes and confirm that it's working for you now.

I encountered this running Node v8.1.0. Using nvm, I switched to Node v8.9.0 and issue was resolved.

        nvm install v8.9.0
        nvm alias default v8.9.0

I have the same issue on Windows 10 [Version 10.0.18290.1000] & Node v10.13.0
workbox-cli v3.6.3

[jeffposnick]

@newschapmj1 You should be able to work around this by opting-in to the current v4 beta, via

npm install -g workbox-cli@beta

Thanks, I made progress using v4 beta

I have the same issue on Windows 10.0.17763 + Node v11.6.0 + workbox-cli v3.6.3
Using Bash on Unbuntu on Windows with nodeJS v8 works around it.

I also have the same issue on Windows 10.0.17763 + Node v10.15.0 + workbox-cli v3.6.3.
Opting-in and installing the current v4 beta made it work.

I'm closing this issue, as it should be fixed in v4. If you're still seeing this issue while using any of the v4 beta versions, please let us know!
