this not a fix but

npx --yes blitz@latest [...command]

works fine, so Im going with that.

for clarity

npx blitz [..command]

is the cause of this issue.

Did it happen with the alpha blitz?

[laurencefass]

I dont know I didnt have control of the version installed using this command.

all I can say with certainty is blitz@l;atest worked which installed (from package.json)

  "dependencies": {
    "@hookform/resolvers": "2.8.8",
    "@prisma/client": "3.13.0",
    "blitz": "0.45.4",
    "react": "18.0.0",
    "react-dom": "18.0.0",
    "react-hook-form": "7.30.0",
    "sass": "1.51.0",
    "zod": "3.15.1"
  },

I didnt select any of those on install.
