? What type of application do you want to create? MVC Application
? What's the name of your ASP.NET application? MvcApplication

Your project is now created, you can use the following commands to get going
    kpm restore
    kpm build
    k run for console projects
    k kestrel or k webfor web projects

Which is great, except while I now have an MvcApplication folder, it's empty.

For what it's worth /Users/patrick/.cache/yeoman does not exist on my machine (creating it doesn't change anything though)

This is a bug - I can recreate it locally - no output is shown if you are offline:

If we fix #26 that should resolve this as well.

[peterblazejewicz]

@sayedihashimi I know, but we need a fix for this one first. It's not a trivial UX problem - I think it should go with current version (I know you will need to build release and resubmit to NPM)

[thepatrick]

Thanks for that

[peterblazejewicz]

@thepatrick You're welcome :)
