Problem: “bun x create-next-app” is stuck at the second question

If you are using TypeScript and encountering an issue where the command “bun x create-next-app” gets stuck at the second question, you are not alone. This problem can occur due to various reasons, but luckily there are a few solutions you can try to resolve it.

Solution 1: Clearing the cache

One common cause of this issue is a cached configuration file conflicting with the setup process. To resolve this, you can try clearing the cache before running the command again. Here’s how you can do it:

npx clear-npx-cache

This command will clear the cache and remove any conflicting configuration files. Once done, you can retry running “bun x create-next-app” and see if the issue persists.

Solution 2: Updating dependencies

Another possible cause of the problem is outdated dependencies. TypeScript and related packages might have received updates that could resolve the issue. To update your dependencies, follow these steps:

npm update

This command will update all the packages in your project to their latest versions. After the update is complete, try running “bun x create-next-app” again and check if the issue is resolved.

Solution 3: Manually configuring TypeScript

If the above solutions do not work, you can try manually configuring TypeScript in your project. Here’s how you can do it:

1. Create a new file named “tsconfig.json” in the root directory of your project.
2. Open the “tsconfig.json” file and add the following configuration:

{
  "compilerOptions": {
    "target": "es5",
    "module": "commonjs",
    "lib": ["dom", "es2017"],
    "strict": true,
    "esModuleInterop": true,
    "skipLibCheck": true
  }
}

Save the file and try running “bun x create-next-app” again. This manual configuration can help resolve any TypeScript-related issues you might be facing.

By trying these solutions, you should be able to overcome the problem of “bun x create-next-app” getting stuck at the second question. If you are still facing issues, consider seeking help from the official documentation or community forums for further assistance.

Happy coding!
