platformio run command blocks platformio init completion in subprocess

[ghost]

Currently, if you run platformio init --ide=anything with a non-existent ~/.platformio it will not run to completion and simply hangs waiting for user response. This prompt is never shown to the user due to subprocess execution here: https://github.com/platformio/platformio/blob/develop/platformio/ide/projectgenerator.py#L55

Here is the prompt (after some debugging):
The platform 'nordicnrf51' has not been installed yet. Would you like to install it now? [y/N]:.

Is there any way we can avoid calling another command here and simply do whatever run does internally instead?

See "Troubleshooting" section from installation page http://docs.platformio.org/en/latest/installation.html#troubleshooting

You have to use --force option before each command when running PlatformIO from subprocess. Like, platformio -f init --ide=anything

Don't forget upgrade (platformio upgrade) PlatformIO to 2.3.0, which was released yesterday. It has improved Project Generator for the multiple IDE.

this is in your code, so I don't see how you can close it. Please see the link. NOTE: I'm using what is in 2.3.0 by using the develop branch

The only command i ran is platformio init --ide=eclipse -b nrf51dk I did not attempt to use any subprocesses myself at all

Thanks! I'll fix it. Looks like critical bug, maybe I'll release 2.3.1 today.
