Drupal console: The "--shellexec_output" option does not exist

Question

Since a recent drupal 8 update my drupal console no longer works even after reinitializing the project, upgrading composer, etc.

Drupal Console version:
1.0.0-beta5
command:
drupal generate:module
Drupal version
8.1.1
but also 8.2.x

error message:
[Symfony\Component\Console\Exception\RuntimeException]
The "--shellexec_output" option does not exist.

Can anyone help here?

Answer 1

Remove the line with shellexec_output: true from ~/.console/config.yml (probably the last line in the file).
