Vue CLI no longer asks a for feature selection


When creating a new Vue (2.x) project using Vue CLI v4 with the command:

vue create example

...I should be prompted for selecting which features I'd like to enable. For some reason, the CLI jumps straight to creating the project, presumably with features I've selected before.

How can I get the cli to let me specify features again?


Solution

  • It seems your Vue CLI installation is somehow toasted.

    As the first fix attempt I'd try deleting the file .vuerc file in your user home directory (~/.vuerc) where Vue CLI stores the saved presets.

    If that doesn't help, I'd recommend reinstalling the Vue CLI package globally:

    Steps to reinstall Vue CLI globally

    # If Vue CLI is installed globally, remove the installation
    
    # Check globally installed packages list with NPM
    npm list -g --depth 0
    # OR with Yarn
    yarn global ls
    
    # Depending on which package manager it has been installed with
    # Uninstall with NPM
    npm uninstall -g @vue/cli
    # OR with Yarn
    yarn global remove @vue/cli
    
    # Install currently newest Vue CLI version with NPM
    npm install -g @vue/cli
    # OR with Yarn
    yarn global add @vue/cli
