erb2haml converter halts install when using a rails template setup file

[hmistry]

I use a rails template (rails -m option) with my commonly used gems to quickly create a new project. I found the prompt to delete the old html files when running rails haml:erb2haml caused the script to halt. Thought you'd like to know.

It halts, like it is waiting for you to tell it what to do (answer y/n), or it hangs erroneously?

In my template, I've never had the haml:erb2haml task hang erroneously, it just stops and waits for me to answer yes or no. How are you running the task? I run it via the rake method (a part of the Rails Templates API, but not documented anymore).

Also, this might not be related, but I've had a similar problem with generate 'rspec:install', and I've found it doesn't hang if I stop spring first (run 'spring stop'). The generate command uses rails instead of rake, which is why I'm thinking it could be related.

I'm having this issue as well, running inside a rails application template (Thor action) when executing via:

HAML_RAILS_DELETE_ERB=true rails haml:erb2haml

I still get prompted:

Would you like to delete the original .erb files? (This is not recommended unless you are under version control.) (y/n)

and I have to type the y and press Enter to continue the rails template execution
