`yo server-configs` does not work (v0.1.3)

[jeroentbt]

Same issue here, also on 0.1.3.

Different error though.

Bypassing the prompt works just fine (so the error above won't really help, as far as I was able to wrap my head around it)

I think the problem is related to my local yeoman installation, because when I run the generator using node, the prompt will work properly.

Here's my environment:

$ brew -v
Homebrew 0.9.4

$ node -v
v0.10.11

$ npm -v
1.2.30

$ yo -v
1.0.0-beta.6

[jeroentbt]

@jozefizso Could you enlighten me on how to run the generator in node?

[jozefizso]

I just created simple NodeJS application and copier over the code that prompts for web server selection.

[jeroentbt]

I lack the knowledge to do that without googling, so I will just believe you :)

I work in the same environment. I did now try node v0.8.25 as well.

The prompt has the same issue there.
No listing of possibilities, does not accept any input.
When I exit however, every possible option is put in the filesystem

[sindresorhus]

Looks like you're using an older version of generator-webapp. npm cache clean && npm uninstall -g generator-webapp && npm install -g generator-webapp.

[jeroentbt]

@sindresorhus Why generator-webapp ?

I did a global update just to be sure

$ npm update -g

I also ran your clean, uninstall, install routine for generator-webapp (again just to be sure :) ) and for generator-server-configs

$ npm ls -g | grep -i generator

Sorry I can't be of more help..

[jozefizso]

Hey,
I tried h5bp generator yesterday and I could not answer the "Would you like docs included?" question. I think this is an issue in yeoman, because I have problems with answering prompts at other places too (eg. when yeoman asks me if I want to replace existing file).

$ yo h5bp
[?] Would you like docs included? (y/N) N
error:   Invalid input
[?] Would you like docs included? (y/N) n
error:   Invalid input
[?] Would you like docs included? (y/N) 
error:   Invalid input
[?] Would you like docs included? (y/N) 
error:   Invalid input

[jeroentbt]

Same here (generator-h5bp not accepting input on first prompt).
Consecutive prompts about eg overwriting existing .gitattributes do work without a problem.

[jozefizso]

I have updated yeoman to 1.0.0-beta7 right now and prompts are working for me.

[jeroentbt]

Works for me too.
