terminal hangs when creating a new app

[kerolloz]

Description / Steps to reproduce / Feature proposal

I just write

lb app

in my terminal.

Current Behavior

After entering the project name, my terminal stops(hangs), the cursor keeps blinking, and doesn't accept any input at ? Enter the name of the directory to contain the project: (test) question.
I tried pressing <Enter>, Ctrl+Z, Ctrl+C or any button but, unfortunately, has no effect.

Expected Behavior

I should be able to enter the project root directory.

Note

I have just installed loopback CLI, using the following command.

sudo npm i -g loopback-cli

I use Ubuntu 19.04.

Same issue here. To give some more info:

OS: Ubuntu 18.04.2
Node: v12.4.0
npm: 6.9.0
5.0.0 ([email protected] [email protected])

I also tried the same with the LTS-Node-Version and Node10 and Node12 with Centos7. Same issue.

looking, might be the same reason as loopbackio/loopback-next#3187

We've released a new version of @loopback/cli (1.17.1) that fixes on the inquirer version. Please update to the latest version. Thanks.
