npm init -y && npx @pattern-lab/cli -c patternlab init fails on windows user with space

[hdwebpros]

I am trying to install @pattern-lab/edition-node@1.0.0-alpha.13 (I think) on Windows, with Node v9.9.0

Expected Behavior

npm init -y && npx @pattern-lab/cli -c patternlab init installs correctly for a user on Windows with a username with a space in it.

Actual Behavior

npm init -y && npx @pattern-lab/cli -c patternlab init creates:

Wrote to C:\websites\fail\package.json:
{
  "name": "fail",
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "description": "",
  "main": "index.js",
  "scripts": {
    "test": "echo \"Error: no test specified\" && exit 1"
  },
  "keywords": [],
  "author": "",
  "license": "ISC"
}
npm ERR! code ENOLOCAL
npm ERR! Could not install from "Lastname\AppData\Roaming\npm-cache\_npx\10852" as it does not contain a package.json file.

I'm going to assume it should try to write a path to
C:\Users\Firstname Lastname\AppData\Roaming\npm-cache\_npx\10852

Steps to Reproduce

Be on Windows (10)
Make sure your folder within users has a space, like "Firstname Lastname"
Navigate to a blank folder and run npm init -y && npx @pattern-lab/cli -c patternlab init

@hdwebpros can you provide your npm -v and npx -v info?

zkat/npx#110 seems to indicate this should no longer be an issue

[hdwebpros]

NPM 6.1
NPX

npm ERR! code ENOLOCAL
npm ERR! Could not install from "Lastname\AppData\Roaming\npm-cache\_npx\13512" as it does not contain a package.json file.

Which is the error with this issue

I did find this:
zkat/npx#146
So I ran npm config set cache C:\tmp\nodejs\npm-cache --global
and that seemed to cure this issue.

It also successfully installed the starter package (I have another issue related to that).

Progress!

Worked for me
Thank you
