Request to fix Entities empty dropdown

Overview of the issue

I am so happy to explore jhipster for the first time after heard about angular2 support added in Jhipster 4

I followed https://jhipster.github.io/video-tutorial/ , however the Entities drop down shows empty

This shows that i made some mistake in setting up the projects

Motivation for or Use Case

First time users like me , will not be surprised about the usability issue!

Suggest a Fix

it will be nice if we show some helpful text like this

@SauronShepherd this is an old issue, and has nothing to do with your problem. You’re probably not running yarn start I guess.

Not worth it I think.
