Magento v2.1.7 CE
PHP 7.0
Permissions double checked
When I run compile command through cli, it ends at step 2 as seen in the image below.
I found that it might be due to a wrong auth.json in composer settings which is used for magento repo. I could not find any auth.json file though, the composer folder was present in the parent directory as .composer
but it had only one folder cache
.
It used to work well as this is not a fresh installation. Any clues or guidance?
