SyntaxError: Invalid regular expression: /.{1,0}/

[ianbrandt]

I get the error below trying to use gulp-prompt from within IntelliJ IDEA 2016.2.3 on OS X. It works fine if I invoke the same task via gulp from Terminal.app. It appears a newer build of Inquirer may fix this issue per SBoudrias/Inquirer.js#290.

? Are you sure? (y/N) [14:42:56] '<anonymous>' errored after 35 ms

I had the same problem using Git Bash on Windows 10, problem solved when used Command line.

Is this still an issue? The latest version of gulp-prompt upgraded to version 3 of inquirer.js and wanted to know if anyone is still able to reproduce this.

I am going to close this off since this there seems to be a work around with using command line on windows
