Angular-cli: ng generate component fails

[doczoidberg]

I created a new project with the latest angular-cli npm packages 0.0.25 and can't generate a component?

c:\temp\app5>ng generate component comp1
installing component

That is quite problematic! I went to check and on the latest master, I believe the issue is solved.

@Brocco reworked the way components are generated to allow for dynamic paths. I expect this to be fixed on the next release.

For now, my only solution is to use latest master though.

[filipesilva]

My mistake, I just tried it on the windows cmd prompt and had the same problem on latest master.

[Brocco]

@doczoidberg can you please clarify which version of the CLI you're using/

[doczoidberg]

@Brocco 0.0.25

[markjritchie]

Changing from line 17 of index.js to
if (entityName.indexOf(path.sep) === 0) {
outputPath = path.join(rootPath, entityName.substr(1));
} else if (cwd && cwd.indexOf(rootPath) >= 0) {
outputPath = path.join(cwd, entityName);
} else if (cwd && cwd.indexOf(path.join(this.project.root, 'src')) >= 0
&& entityName.indexOf('app') === 0) {
outputPath = path.join(cwd, entityName);
} else if (cwd && cwd.indexOf(path.join(this.project.root, 'src')) >= 0) {
outputPath = path.join(cwd, 'app', entityName);
}

Is a good workaround for me just now

[Brocco]

@markjritchie that will allow you to get by for now, except it will not allow you to utilize the purpose of this feature, which is to generate items into a dynamic path and also allow routes to be based upon a relative path (current working directory)

[markjritchie]

@Brocco very true, but I thought it might be handy to post for anybody that's stuck waiting for the next release

[pierreboissinot]

I've the same problem on a Windows Environment, is this a Windows problem only ? Does it work on a Linux System like Mac ?

[filipesilva]

@pierreboissinot It's a windows cmd console specific issue. Which is to say, works on linux and windows with gitbash just fine. We'll fix it.
