14.0.0-14.0.2 does not work (npm/Windows)

[fu-sen]

I upgraded now cli to 14.0.0 using npm on Windows, but now cli does not work at all:

You do not have to worry about the upgrade time. I ran this after I booted Windows.

This problem can be temporarily avoided by downgrading to 13.1.3:

 npm install -g now@13.1.3

I understood. I am waiting for the reflection of this renovation.
This issue will keep Open until we can see improvements.

the same issue on Windows

[deebov]

I've tried v13.1.3 but it didn't work

[corlaez]

Same issue here. It is severe I hope you can fix it soon

windows 10
node v10.14.2

I also got it fixed with v13.1.3. now desktop was still confused, but now-cli did the job.

@deebov The problem you encounter is different from this issue.
(My Now CLI worked normally until 13.1.3)

Please proceed with problem solving by either of the following:

• Go to Spectrum chat and consult (Recommend): https://spectrum.chat/zeit
• Establish New issue

[fu-sen]

@lrn2prgrm If you are using Now Desktop, you can stop automatic updating of Now CLI:
https://zeit.co/docs/v1/guides/updating-now-cli

Now Desktop and installed by npm or yarn are different Now CLI apps.
It can cause another problem:

I confirmed the release of 14.0.1-canary.1 and tried it, but this problem is ongoing:

It was released in 14.0.1. Therefore 14.0.1 is still a problem.

[TLA020]

Indeed doesn't work here either

[fu-sen]

I tried 14.1.0-canary.2 but the problem is still ongoing:

[fu-sen]

I tried 14.1.0-canary.3, This problem is ongoing

Still an issue for me as well. Downgrading to 13.x works in the meantime.

14.0.2 has been released, but this problem is ongoing:

[rivy]

"now\download\dist\now" is missing/empty.
But, as a workaround, scoop can be used to install the now-win.exe directly with:

C:\>scoop install "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rivy/scoop-bucket/master/now.json"

Additional info

When installed via yarn, the "now.cmd" file contains:

@"%~dp0\..\..\..\..\..\Yarn\Data\global\node_modules\.bin\now.cmd"   %*

That ".bin\now.cmd" file then uses node to run "%~dp0..\now\download\dist\now", but that final file is completely empty:

C:>msls -Al node_modules\now\download\dist
total 32M

-rwx-----a  1 Roy               31M Mar  2 12:46 now.exe*

Issue got fixed by #1922 in release 14.1.0-canary.4.
