PS. https://github.com/angular-cli/angular-cli/blob/master/TRANSITION.md#user-content-brocfile-transition - doesn't exist 😄

Did you type ng --version inside the webpack-test directory? I had the same error yesterday, I think when you create a new app with ng new myApp the angular-cli version installed locally is not the 1.0.0-beta.11-webpack version.

[NejcZdovc]

@serhiisol try following in your repo:

npm cache clean
npm install --save-dev angular-cli@webpack

[serhiisol]

the problem is that cli doesn't create this file at all. before I even run it, it doesn't exist

[serhiisol]

@NejcZdovc Why should I do that, if I have latest version of _beta.11-webpack_ installed ?

[NejcZdovc]

@serhiisol you have webpack cli on global level, but probably not on local level. File angular-cli-build.js was used with systemjs, so you are not using correct cli version.

[NejcZdovc]

You can check it here #1528

[serhiisol]

Everything is installed from package.json, it has to be with correct versioning. I believe something is missing on cli side. Cause project is clean and it should just run.

[NejcZdovc]

@serhiisol You can also check it here

[itsmeprasanjit]

ng init did the trick but there are definately some bugs.

[serhiisol]

Ok, basically removing ^ from package.json

"angular-cli": "1.0.0-beta.11-webpack"

does trick, but that's not obvious at all, why npm installs incorrect angular-cli, it seems like without it, it installs another incompatible version.

[itsmeprasanjit]

npm install --save-dev angular-cli@webpack 👍

[serhiisol]

that's also not obvious at all 😄

[hansl]

This has been fixed already and is included in the nexrt release today or tomorrow.

[cmermingas]

I didn't know my commit in my little learning project would show up here just because I mentioned this issue for my own reference :)

Anyway, I followed the instructions here to install and create a project from scratch. I also followed the recommendations above: npm cache clean _inside the project_, then removed the caret (^) from package.json, reran npm install. But I still get this error when running ng github-pages:deploy

[srivasrk]

@cmermingas . I am facing the same issue. I have tried npm install --save-dev angular-cli@webpack. Also removed the crate in package.json.
Don't know whats wrong. Been a long day already.
ng github-pages:deploy still throws the error: "no angular cli-build.js found"

[stefanaerts]

same problem for me with [email protected]
--steps ---------------
1) ng new 'projectname' ,
2) create repo on github
3) git commit -m 'initial commit with angular-cli generated code'
4) git push -u origin master

5) ng github-pages:deploy

ng github-pages:deploy throws the error: "no angular cli-build.js found"

[stefanaerts]

and i did all of it, install angular-cli local puts ^ in front but that doesnt work.
Then i changed the local package.json again with ^ removed, but still the same error.
i did npm install and repeated all the steps again, still the same error.
So it would be very nice if somebody of the angular-cli developers can explain whats going on. Thx.

[filipesilva]

@cmermingas @srivasrk @stefanaerts there was a separate problem affecting the github deploy functionality that has been fixed in https://github.com/angular/angular-cli/pull/1633 and is pending release.

[renevall]

I'm getting this error too.

[elvirdolic]

This error is still not fixed

with "angular-cli": "^1.0.0-beta.11-webpack.8", my build server fails

without it works

[Blak3Nick]

I had to install awesome-typescript-loader as a dev dependency after running
npm install --save-dev angular-cli@webpack. Finally got the project up and running again.

[pomeara]

I'm having this problem today, the angular-cli seems like a great idea but continues to have numerous bugs

[serhiisol]

Guys, this ticket already closed due to new releases of cli (for instance with beta 16 everything works as it should)

PS. Try to update to latest, should help

[sutin1234]

where angular-cli-build.json: in project angular-cli
