Hi guys. Trying to run npx on some packages but coming up with this error:

npx oclif single book-shelf-app

Not sure if the error comes down to this package or not?

Same issue occurs when creating a fresh project with @vue/cli using release candidate 3
Looks like a new version was released an hour ago, that could be it.

This seems to be the change that causes the issue:

I've made a quick PR #36
Feel free to correct it if it can be done better.

[daviwil]

Thanks @iarna and @Erveon for the quick fix!

Our ember-cli web application was bit by this as well. Thankfully in non-production environments. Thought the problem was with CircleCI initially too. Just wanted to say thanks to everyone who raised the issue and contributed to the PR fix here.
