Windows 10 can't navigate

[mnemanja]

Hi, I'm having a trouble to use arrow keys to navigate. I've tried cmd and git bash, as well as the webstorm terminal.

I'm testing it as a part of the react-boilerplate. This is the pre-anniversary win10.

yeah, the prompt data is sent directly to inquirer to handle the user input. Not sure that there is much that can be done in plop if this is a problem between Windows and inquirer. 😦

I see that react-boilerplate/react-boilerplate#847 has been closed, was this resolved?

A quote from the second link:

the following SemVer range should hopefully match any

known-broken: >=4.0 <4.2 || >=5.0 <5.3 || >=5.6 <6.2

known fixed: <4 || >=4.2 <5 || >=5.3 < 6 || >= 6.2

A utility to check if your version of Node.js is broken: https://www.npmjs.com/package/is-node-interactive-tty-broken

Thanks! so it looks like you can fix this issue by updating your node to one of the working versions 👍

I can confirm that it works with Node 6.2.
Thanks @Dattaya.
