Hi, I couldn't reproduce the issue in my env. ng serve works correctly. Can it be your global @angular/cli installation got corrupt? You may try a cache clean and reinstall..

npm cache clean
npm -g i @angular/cli

@cozzbie Could you please provide you angular-cli.json file or a git repo we could clone and look at? Thanks.

@demirk4n is right. it was a corrupt install. After wiping it all and reinstalling all is fine now.
