Yikes! a new CLI 3 "npm run dev" ERROR: "Failed to prompt ... "

[den232]

Hello.  I'm mystified by this (new) error message from CLI 3.

I'm trying to build my app and have begun seeing this error when running "npm run dev". It is persistent, I have rebooted, removed and reinstalled CLI ...

I am running the command interactively: by typing it.

I have already answered  "Create this project as a new app on Shopify?" (as No), so it IS associated with my app.

Current Shopify CLI version: 3.47.3

─ external error ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

Error coming from `npm run dev`

Command failed with exit code 1: npm run dev

Looks like this is the first time you're running dev for this project.
Configure your preferences by answering a few questions.


Before proceeding, your project needs to be associated with an app.

I found it!  Is this cryptic, or what?   

Turns out I had a shopify.web.toml file in the web/ directory itself.  Must have come from the init.   At any rate, I deleted it and was back on track ... after a day ... 

Cheers jb
