cordova@8.1.0 breaks when prompting for telemetry opt-in

See original GitHub issue

Hi,

After installing npm install -g cordova no cordova commands work at all Every command asks if you can track, answering yes or no make no difference Ticks around a while then reports the following error Tried reinstall, uninstall / reinstall No luck

Cant check version because that too results in error - but I just ran normal install command

/Users/rgb/.nvm/versions/node/v8.9.4/lib/node_modules/cordova/node_modules/insight/lib/index.js:156
		prompt.close();
		       ^

TypeError: prompt.close is not a function
    at Insight.<anonymous> (/Users/rgb/.nvm/versions/node/v8.9.4/lib/node_modules/cordova/node_modules/insight/lib/index.js:156:10)
    at ontimeout (timers.js:475:11)
    at tryOnTimeout (timers.js:310:5)
    at Timer.listOnTimeout (timers.js:270:5)

Also tried globally installing an npm module called prompt incase that was the issue - no luck

As I said before, this error only occurs when you have not answered the telemetry prompt before. Thus, a valid work-around would be to add "optOut": false or "optOut": true to ~/.config/configstore/insight-cordova.json. I don’t know where the file is located on Windows, unfortunately.

For Windows it should be in C:\Users\%USERNAME%\.config\configstore\insight-cordova.json
