poetry init - Pressing <enter> at "Enter package # to add ..." causes AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'replace'

[asottile]

• I am on the latest Poetry version.
• I have searched the issues of this repo and believe that this is not a duplicate.
• If an exception occurs when executing a command, I executed it again in debug mode (-vvv option). (it made no difference in the output)

• OS version and name: ubuntu 18.04
• Poetry version: 1.0.5
• Link of a Gist with the contents of your pyproject.toml file: N/A

very minor, but I expect a human-readable error message instead, or to default to the first one (it was an exact name match after all!)

Pretty sure this just needs a default value of "" instead of None somewhere along that stack trace.

[jacobperron]

I think this issues comes from cleo's ChoiceQuestion not supporting an empty choice. IMO, it makes sense to update ChoiceQuestion upstream, but I've proposed a workaround here #4606

[jacobperron]

I've also opened a related patch upstream: python-poetry/cleo#109
