Why am I unable to create a subscription app extension using Shopify CLI?

[Jeremy46]

Hi

My name is jeremy . I'm rather new to using shopify cli, and I've been trying to create a subscription app extension .

but after running "shopify extension create" and choosing my app and extension name , the "initializing project" process stops with this error.

┗━━ X There was an error while initializing the project. ━━━━━━━━━━━━ (3.24s) ━━
* Fix the errors and run shopify extension create again.

I've been looking everywhere for any sort of answer but I truly cant find what's causing this issue.

any idea's would be greatly appreciated 

thank you
