Can't run/complete eject

[joeyfigaro]

Description

Every time I run eject, the process freezes after the first prompt.

Expected Behavior

yarn run eject - I expected to be able to eject.

Observed Behavior

I answer the first question (choosing either option for ejecting produces the same result - freezing) and then the session becomes unresponsive.

hello! it looks like you are using npm5, we do not support that as it is currently very buggy. this is likely the problem.

see:

• npm start fail for node 8.0.0 and npm 5.0.1 fresh install #233
• npm@5 known issue tracking npm/npm#16991

i suspect if you npm i -g npm@4.6.1 and then reinstall your node_modules, that will resolve the problem. we warn when you create a new project now, but unfortunately don't have error handling sprinkled everywhere, if you'd like to submit a PR to warn in more situations that would be helpful!

let me know if this resolves the issue

@brentvatne Thanks! I'll give that a shot this evening.

@brentvatne No go, unfortunately. Created a new project after installing / using npm@4.6.1 and it is still freezing. The plot thickens.

[brentvatne]

did you ever resolve this @joeyfigaro?

I'm running into the exact same issue even when using npm@4.6.1, on macOS.

It would be nice to hear from you @joeyfigaro if you managed to solve this on your side! 😄

I was having eject freezes on Node 8.1.0/NPM 4.6.1 + 5.5. I jumped up to Node 8.6.0/NPM 5.3.0 and it worked.
