We have tests that run to ensure this command works so this likely an issue in your setup, have you tried running with DISABLE_SPRING=true and/or checked for debugging steps? Without some form of isolated reproduction we won't be able to help much.

[sanjsharma]

In the same project, it's working now. I can generate it without DISABLE_SPRING=true. Not sure what went wrong. #1885 issue looks similar to mine. I feel something is wrong but not sure how to replicate it. Will open the issue if I can re-replicate the issue. Thanks @JonRowe for your response. Cheers !

FYI - ran into this issue after deleting and recreating a new rails project.

Ran: ps aux | grep -i spring

Noticed there was still a spring process running for the project.

bin/spring stop helped kill the process.

This stack overflow article helped me: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/25027284/ruby-on-rails-console-is-hanging-when-loading

Hoping this helps anyone else in the future that comes across the issue.
