All versions of `npm init` hang on Node 8.1.0
- Version: 8.1.0
- Platform: Darwin
- Subsystem: Unsure
To reproduce, with Node 8.1.0 and any version of npm (we've explicitly tested w/ 2, 3, 4 & 5):
$ npm init
This utility will walk you through creating a package.json file.
It only covers the most common items, and tries to guess sensible defaults.
See `npm help json` for definitive documentation on these fields
and exactly what they do.
Use `npm install <pkg> --save` afterwards to install a package and
save it as a dependency in the package.json file.
Press ^C at any time to quit.
name: (x)
version: (1.2.0)
At the prompt for version Node stops accepting input and doesn't respond to ^Z or ^C. (It does respond to kill -STOP
and kill -INT
. Continuing the process after a STOP results in keyboard input being echoed but the process still does not run.)
