Cannot choose an app on windows about firebase-tools HOT 30 CLOSED

Try using windows command prompt, I was trying to use the git terminal but it wasn't working, so then I tried using the command prompt (windows terminal), navigated to my project directory and initialized in there, and it worked. It also let me select the options, whereas in the git terminal I wasn't able to select anything with keys or pressing the space bar.

from firebase-tools.

Same issue.
Windows 10, Node.Js 8.1.0.
Tried command line and git bash, can't choose anything while trying to init project. Not by space or by arrow keys.

I have the same issue

from firebase-tools.

It's working for me in node version v8.1.2

from firebase-tools.

Yes it does appear to be a Node 8 issue. I reproduced this (on Linux), and will investigate a fix. Filed #370 to track this, since it's a separate issue than this original one.

from firebase-tools.

Reproducing with macos
NPM v5.6.0
Node v8.1.0

It strangely gets stuck on project selection upon using firebase init and gets stuck on language selection upon using firebase init functions

EDIT:
#426 (comment)
Works well

from firebase-tools.

How are you attempting to run the command? Through the command line, cygwin, PowerShell? I assume you were able to login to the tools just fine?

from firebase-tools.

@drtriumph im running the command via command line. yep i was be able to login just fine.

from firebase-tools.

For now I think the -f <app_name> option will allow you to proceed, and we'll try reproducing this. What version of windows / node / npm are you running?

from firebase-tools.

hi @drtriumph, sorry for the late response. currently using windows 10, node 4.1.1, npm 2.14.4. tried to go legacy mode from the command terminal and unfortunately I still encountered the same.

from firebase-tools.

Same issue here. Win 10, node 4.2.1

firebase init -f <app_name> worked though

from firebase-tools.

👍 same on Win 10, Node 4.1.1 in both Command Prompt and PowerShell

from firebase-tools.

Hey guys, same issue on Windows 10 Node 5.0.0 in Command Prompt and Powershell including Powershell ISE as Administrator. Can't kill the current task either. Have to exit out of Powershell entirely.

EDIT/UPDATE
This also doesn't work on Node 5.1.0 latest update, however, if you have Github for windows installed and installed Git Bash along with it, it works perfectly on Git Bash. Link here below and hope this helps someone for the time being: https://git-for-windows.github.io/

This should be working in firebase init now, though the underlying Node bug still persists.

from firebase-tools.

May I ask what the underlying Node bug is? I'm seeing the same issue on Win7, Node v6.2.2, Firebase 3.0.3. Also the workaround firebase init -f <app_name> doen't work for me as the -f option is unknown.

The -f option would not solve the issue also, since you are unable to use arrow keys on the questoin "What Firebase CLI features do you want to setup for this folder?".

from firebase-tools.

This issue happens to my Gitbash sometimes. Sometimes, the arrow keys work, sometimes they do not. Any workarounds?

Node.js LTS Version: v6.11.0 works for me

from firebase-tools.

Same issue with Win 10 16215, VS '17 Preview 2, and Node 8.1.0 (x64)

from firebase-tools.

Update on issue - i think problem in Node 8.x.x, I have same issue on NodeJs 8.1.0, OS Windos 10 and Linux, different command lines. After i downgrade NodeJs to version 7.8.0 issue gone and navigation begin to work by keys(arrows and space).

from firebase-tools.

i was having the same problem (while trying to use gitBash), i switched over to comand prompt and the arrows keys work there

from firebase-tools.

Iam using cmd on windows and the arrow works, but when using git the arrow doesnt move a bit
npm version 5.5.1 and node 8.9.1

from firebase-tools.

Selecting features during firebase init via space does not work with Git Bash. No problems when using cmd.exe.

• Windows 7 (x64)
• npm: 5.5.1
• node: 9.2.0
• git bash: 2.15.0

from firebase-tools.

i m using cmd in windows 8 but still not working.
