TypeError: input.split is not a function

[Ilya I]

Steps to reproduce

Performed the following steps:

npm i -g @feathers-plus/cli
#  + @feathers-plus/cli@0.8.10
mkdir feathers-app
cd feathers-app
feathers-plus generate options
# chosen all defaults, except "Generate TypeScript code?" Yes

feathers-plus generate app
# chosen all defaults (npm is installed package manager)

Then I edited feathers-gen-spec.json file, and added "dev" and "test" environments:

  "app": {
    "environmentsAllowingSeedData": [
      "dev",
      "test"
    ],
    ...

Then re-run generate app:

feathers-plus generate app
# chosen all defaults

Expected behavior

Command should complete

Actual behavior

? Data mutating tests and seeding may run when NODE_ENV is one of (optional) (dev,test)

Module versions (especially the part that's not working):

@feathers-plus/cli@0.8.10

NodeJS version:

tried both v11.4.0 and v8.11.2

Operating System:

Windows 7 64-bit

Further, the command hangs forever, so throwing this error does not terminate.

BTW, re-entering "dev,test" on that line helps to avoid the error (looks like generator does not allow "Enter" to just confirm. Should it?

I noticed that it re-writes ["dev", "test"] with "dev,test" in the feathers-gen-spec.json file. I tried re-running the "generate app" command with that setting and "Enter" does not throw that error.

However I still have "generate app" hanging (perhaps due to other changes I did to other files).

Update: I resolved the hanging part - I had some mix of npm/node install places. So wiping out node versions and nvm, removing npm from C:\users**, and reinstalling nvm in c:\nvm, and node in c:\node cleaned things quite nicely.
