Generated a new app using the CLI and did a deployment with dokku to digitalocean

Thanks! We'll be in touch soon.

I was facing same issue, I had run ng unit in system root directory by mistake. Once I had delete all the angular-cli files it was working

What I had don to resolve on windows-10 system.

Open cmd.
Run dir. (in Linux or mac its ls).
If you find angular-cli files just delete.
And it's work for me.

Deleting the assets property entirely from .angular-cli.json gives me the input of null error so I guess that's why my ng2 project gets that error when pushing to Deis PaaS

Anyone with a fix for this?

Debugging this a little. I'm also getting input of null when pushing an ng2 app. I'm only getting this when pushing to a Deis PaaS application but everything works when it's Heroku. I'm even using the same build pack but it's still not working.

I see that glob, input and output are all values of schema.json to do with the assets array for copying stuff over.

I've tried:

angular-cli rc.0 and 1
without AOT flag
having at least 1 file inside the assets folder for copying (as it was empty)
removing my project yarn.lock to enforce npm
copying the schema.json to the root of my project and referencing it inside .angular-cli.json
node 6 and 7
removing assets property entirely
removing assets folder and favicon.ico from assets property
renaming .angular-cli.json to angular-cli.json

Deleting the assets property entirely from .angular-cli.json gives me the input of null error so I guess that's why my ng2 project gets that error when pushing to Deis PaaS

It seems there are a couple of related issues: https://github.com/angular/angular-cli/issues/4889 and https://github.com/angular/angular-cli/issues/4207

My error, which may signify that it also doesn't work from /tmp/build:

Cannot read property 'glob' of null

In https://github.com/angular/angular-cli/issues/4889#issuecomment-281551688, @huntsberg said:

It looks like #4207 is the same issue. If you set up the environment in your home directory, it fails. It's a common pattern in docker to put the app in the home directory.
Changing the home directory seems to resolve the issue.

filipesilva on 13 Mar 2017

Dupe of https://github.com/angular/angular-cli/issues/4207, especially relevant is https://github.com/angular/angular-cli/issues/4207#issuecomment-277840301

filipesilva on 13 Mar 2017

I have tried the following option to resolve the issue
Steps to resolve the issue

$ pwd
it shows —> /Users/YourName /* That is your Home path*/
Execute the below command to display the hidden files

$ defaults write com.apple.Finder AppleShowAllFiles true
$ killall Finder
After executing the above command you will see the hidden files.
if “.angular-cli.json” file exist under “/Users/yourname” (i.e Home Path) then remove “.angular-cli.json” file.

then navigate to your application path and try execute ‘ng’ command.

cctv549681 on 29 Jun 2017

Still doesn't work for me!

kirillgroshkov on 30 Aug 2017

works for me on 1.3.1 i also change the dev in the package from angular/cli 131 to angular cli 1.7.4 (may be optional)

verify that u own the directrory (" chown groupe:user directory " on ubuntu) and try root launch for the ng (sudo)

or / and
remove the node dir and -lock.json, run npm i and launch or sudo launch ng

magentall on 30 Apr 2018

Try sudo of ur ng first, not to have to have to reinstall if not necessary
im on debian 9.4
