Amplify init command freezes after I select default editor: Visual Studio Code

See original GitHub issue

Note: If your issue/bug is regarding the AWS Amplify Console service, please log it in the official AWS Amplify Console forum

Describe the bug When I try initializing amplify in my Angular 7 project using the command amplify init it starts up the process and asks me for my default editor. Once I select Visual Studio Code, the process freezes.

I’ve tried letting it run for hours but it doesn’t get past that screen.

Also tried downgrading from 1.8.2 to 1.7.5 but the same thing happens.

Also tried selecting other text editors but still no luck.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

Initialize new angular project ng new appName
Install @aws-amplify/cli npm install @aws-amplify/cli
Run amplify configure
Run amplify init
Select text editor
See error

Expected behavior Was expecting it to initialize amplify and generate a aws-exports.js file

You were right, despite running npm uninstall, aws amplify did not uninstall.

I ran which amplify and it showed me where it was installed, so I went ahead and deleted all the associated files, ran the install command and it worked.

Thanks for the assist.

I did so by running npm uninstall -g @aws-amplify/cli from an admin console. It ran successfully but amplify didn’t uninstall and the issue persists
