Stop working during initialize new project

[yottanami]

I am trying to initialize new project but it stops during Creating React Native skeleton.
I wait about one hour but it did not work.
I also tried using http_proxy

Is there anyway see the what is happening behind?
As I checked there is a --verbose option in natal but not in re-natal

Hey, what you could do is cd into a folder which was created during aborted re-natal init command and run npm i. That is usally takes most of the time.
I have moved some things around after fork so new things in natal were not mergeable, --verbose optin is useful I agree we should have that in re-natal too.

Are you (@yottanami) by any chance on mac sierra? This is happening to me after the upgrade. (re-natal version 0.2.43)

edit
as per @drapanjanas 's advice, I ran npm i and I get:
npm WARN [email protected] requires a peer of react@~15.3.1 but none was installed.

Looked in generated package.json it looks like "react": "15.3.1" or something like it is missing

I was able to fix this problem by following this:

I also ran into this issue and can confirm that the problem is watchman. I had used homebrew to uninstall/reinstall and was still running into the same issues. My steps to solve were the following:

Uninstall watchman with homebrew
Delete the contents of the /usr/local/var/run/watchman/ folder
Re-install watchman with homebrew
I was able to figure out the extra step of deleting the contents of the watchman folder from these two github issues: - facebook/watchman#361 - facebook/watchman#358 (comment)
