  • Getting the same thing now when creating a project. When running with --json you can at least get a stack trace, trying to look at the code to see if I can find a root cause...

Using that issue discussion as reference. I would check that you don't have some package.json file without any name attribute in the root folder of the system directory.

Otherwise, even adding package.json with the name attribute seems to be the other suggested workaround

{
    "name": "<anything>"
}

    So apparently the problem is that if you have a package.json in any of the parent directories of the directory you're trying to create a new project from, you get this error. I had a package.json in ../.. and deleted it,and that fixed it.

  • Not sure if you checked before deleting, but did that "other" package.json have no name attribute?

  • I did not check, but I assume it didn't.
