Check which version of Nodejs you are using with running node -v I was using Nodejs version 14.15.3 (LTS) and then updated to latest version (15.5.1 Current) and now problem solved for me. 😃

I’ll keep doing research, but it looks like it’s spinning up new apps fine after the above fix.

@MLDMoritz please check if you have react-native-cli installed by running npm list -g react-native-cli if so uninstall it by npm uninstall react-native-cli. You should be good to go then.

I was experiencing “throw up” issue too. I saw a comment earlier in the thread saying installing react-native-cli globally was not recommended. Once I removed it and reran npx --ignore-existing ignite-cli new myapp it worked as expected.

@jamonholmgren Using double quote instead of single (your commit) fixed this error 👍

@jamonholmgren I tried it again with Node 14 and its seems npm is what causing this problem! When I installed Node 15 npm v7.3.0 installed and it asked for installing new version 7.4.0, So I installed it globally. After reinstalling Node 14 creating new app didn’t have problem because of npm v7.4.0. Then I removed it and with version 6.14.10 the problem is back again

yarn run v1.22.5
$ npm-run-all format:*
$ prettier --write '**/*.js'

FYI – after the upgrade to 6.1.0, my issues were resolved and I was able to create apps very cleanly. No clue how it it behaving on a Windows machine though…

Yeah it’s a problem with the format script in package.json. Change the single quote into double quote, using escape like this \"
