For those, who is looking for temporary fix of vue init command. PowerShell (Windows):

cd "$(Split-Path $(whereis vue)[0] -Parent)\node_modules\@vue\cli-init"
npm i inquirer@~6.3.1

bash:

cd "$(dirname $(which vue))/node_modules/@vue/cli-init"
npm i inquirer@~6.3.1

https://github.com/SBoudrias/Inquirer.js/issues/811 Upstream bug in inquirer.

Fixed in inquirer@6.4.1 Now please try to clean your npm/yarn cache and reinstall @vue/cli @vue/cli-init

Please don’t post “same issue” comments, as the actual upstream issue has been identified already. Just click the +1 button if you want to express support.

Same issue. working in win10.

Same issue here.

~~Could someone propose a PR that locks inquirer at a lower version until this is resolved? Apparently the same was done here to temporarily fix it: https://github.com/umijs/create-umi/pull/70~~

Proposed a PR to fix it (hopefully, cannot test).
