react: create-react-app hangs before creating the src folder

I use create-react-app first-app and get:

react-bug

and it just hangs there forever.

These are the contents of first-app after killing the process: react-bug2

I tried npx create-react-app and didn’t work.

Am using npm@6.12.0, node@12.13.0 and create-react-app@3.2.0

Solved. I found that the green leaf-like symbol “econo symbol” marked a suspended process. econo_symbol

I traced it down in the Resource monitor and resumed it.

econo_symbol_2

Thanks! This helped a lot, uninstalled and installed node 5 times and visual studio code 2 times and git 1 time make it work.

Thanks a lotttt broo… literally spent 5 days to resolve this:-)😃

When you run the command and it hangs open up the resource monitor and find cmd executable file. And most probably it should be suspended, right click on it and press resume process to make it continue the process and you might have to do this 2 times.
