ignite: Ignite new app does not work

What’s going on?

Attempting to ignite a new app gives the following error:

I have tried using npm to install the boilerplate for bowser using the command below, and it throws a template not found error. ignite boilerplate-install ignite-bowser MyAwesomeApp --debug --npm

Steps to reproduce

ignite new MyApp

I have been facing the same issues. Tried using an older version of ignite-cli to no success.

Using the exact solution suggested by @jamonholmgren works. Thanks!

Hey I am facing the same issue here, it seems like the issue is with the react-native version that is being installed with ignite-andross

error Cannot use React Native CLI to initialize project with version lower than 0.60.0.

If you run ignite with --debug you’ll see more verbose logs which might give you more info to debug this.

@jamonholmgren changing node version from 12.10.0 to 11.10.0 got me past the previous failure involving process.chdir

@raooll Can you use the newest alphas and see if those work?

yarn global add ignite-cli@3.0.0-alpha.5
ignite new MyApp -b ignite-bowser@4.0.0-alpha.3

@diegotejadav I think the other issue is unrelated, but I could be wrong.
