New to yeoman and not having much luck so far. Can anyone help?

Solution

  • That's a bug with the generator you used https://github.com/lidia-freitas/generator-aspnet-angular/issues/1

    I'd recommend searching generators on https://npms.io/search?q=yeoman-generators and try to stay to the generator who're maintained. There's a lot of people publishing broken open source packages, so if you want to save some time, it's always better to make sure a project is well maintained before using it :)
