In lack of a documented possibility to create an angular project in an existing directory, I used the above solution.

Errors:

(Yes, the command results in exactly above output - the error message is repeated twice)
I would expect that angular generates files for a project in the folder, and of course no error message resulting. The files should be located directly in the "test"-folder and not be placed in a subfolder, e.g. "test/appName".
Using an absolute path instead of a relatively one (in the ng new command) does not change anything, apart from the path-contents of the error message.
Using the command like $ ng new appName --directory .
(without the /
in the directory path) results in the same error.
Trying to reference the directory from itself by relative path (used as possible workaround) fails with a new error message:
$ mkdir test
$ cd test
$ ng new appName --directory "../test"
Error: Path "/../test" is invalid.
Path "/../test" is invalid.
If there is any other information I might help you with, please tell me.
The same result can be achieved by changing into the parent directory and commanding angular to create the app in the sub-directory:
$ mkdir test
$ ng new appName --directory "test"
Unfortunately, the error messaging is currently overly verbose and repeats. There is on ongoing work to improve the error messaging. In this case the the validation is also overly strict and the actual cause is the /
in the --directory ./
option. Removing it should prevent the validation error.
Unfortunately, when calling --directory .
, the error message stays the same:
C:\Users\MyUser\test>ng new appName --directory .

Errors:

I just gave it another run and I found out that it works if I use a relative path out of a parent directory.
Meaning, when executing the command like this:
$ mkdir test
$ ng new appName --directory "test"
it works fine. However, the original case fails with the described error message:
$ mkdir test
$ cd test
$ ng new appName --directory ./
And the following new test case fails as well, but with a new error message:
$ mkdir test
$ cd test
$ ng new appName --directory "../test"
Error: Path "/../test" is invalid.
Path "/../test" is invalid.
It seems like there are some problems with path resolving?
I'll update my original post to include the workaround for people that land here by google or similar.
You're right. Both .
and ./
should work but it appears only an absolute path seems to work. Would you mind trying it with an absolute path to confirm?
As already stated in my original post, absolute paths do not work. I tried it with both \
and /
notation, only referencing a relative path to a subfolder seems to work.
Absolutes paths work on Mac and linux; the windows drive letter appears to be the problem in that scenario. The initial errors are due to validation of the string argument. The last issue described is actually an unrelated, different issue with an origin in the initialization of the schematic engine.
I also encountered this problem: trying to create from within the project folder with --directory .
failed with the error described above, as did
cd
ng new name --directory ./subdirectory
but this worked (without the dot):
cd
ng new name --directory subdirectory
Just to confirm that absolute paths are NOT working on Ubuntu. Both a root (/) and a home (Β¬) path don't give the error but actually create a sub-path equivalent to the absolute path underneath the current directory (!). So if you are in /myProject/testProject and you do ng new --dir=/myProject/testProject
, it actually creates the project files in /myProject/testProject/myProject/testProject.
This is a serious issue that was created with the 1.7.0 release.
Some companies have very restricted environments and installing @angular/cli globally is not an option. In other environments programmers work on multiple projects. How @angular/cli creates files could change as versions of @angular change, and installing @angular/cli globally may force the programmer into a version that is not backwards compatible for old projects.
Up to version 1.6.8 you could install @angular/cli locally in the project folder and then create the project in the same folder with "--directory ." Somebody added path checking to 1.7.0, and it refused to allow . or .. in the path name. This functionality needs to be restored ASAP.
I just ran into this on Windows 8.1 using latest Webstorm using their 'New Project' which creates with angular-cli.

I can confirm that neither relative nor absolute paths are currently working in Windows 10 now. I've done this in the past successfully. Seems to me that the latest update broke it.
I thought I was crazy until I found this

Angular 6.0.0 beta 4 is also failing with this.
SargTeX: You labeled this issue as a feature request, but it's definitely a bug. Or a feature that someone thought we needed, but is impeding a significant number of people. Can you relabel as a bug, and maybe freq:high so that someone will notice and address it?
Hi @clydin, @Brocco, @hansl!
As @denofevil has already mentioned in his comment, due to the path validation issue it is now impossible to create a new Angular project in WebStorm and other JetBrains IDEs using Angular CLI 1.7.0. The IDE creates a project directory first and only then runs angular-cli in it β that is something we canβt easily change.
What can be done to solve the issue?
We really hope that it would be possible again to create Angular projects in WebStorm.
Thanks!
I've upgrade from Angular CLI 1.6.8 to Angular CLI: 1.7.3 this morning.
I can no longer create projects, in WebStorm, using this in the terminal: ng new --minimal --directory=. exampleapp
same error as #issuecomment-369788392 above
A work around to use the Angular CLI to generate projects in WebStorm (and other JetBrains IDEs) is to create an empty project, open terminal and cd to parent directory, then run
ng new --directory=DIR_NAME example
where DIR_NAME is the project you created, then cd back into the folder and continue to use WebStorm as usual.
That isn't a solution if you cannot install the command globally, and in a lot of locked-down development environments you can't. Besides, there are a lot of other good reasons you should not install it globally. When the instructions tell you to do so, they are assuming that you only want one version of the command on your computer, and that does not happen in large organizations.
@jmussman I don't think the bug being reported here (inability to use --directory=.
) is dependent on if you have ng
installing globally or not. So my advice converts to however you're running the ng new
command without installing globally.
Question then: where is ng being run from in your example?

Angular CLI should have created the directory ng-md-01 and then template out a new application.
ng new md-01
ng new md-intro
The use of numbers in name of application??
seems like downgrading to 1.6.8 is solution for now
use this commnads to do this.
_npm uninstall -g @angular/cli
npm cache clean --force
npm install -g @angular/[email protected]_
Do not use any number in the application name.
ng new latest-app (This works fine)
ng new 60-app (This will fail with below error)
Schematic input does not validate against the Schema: {"name":"60-app","version":"6.0.8","newProjectRoot":"projects","skipInstall":false,"linkCli":false,"skipGit":false,"commit":null}
Errors:

I could resolve the error by changing
ng new test_essentials
to
ng new essentials
Apart from numbers in the name, apparently an underscore is not accepted either
ng new does not like the underscore " _ " so test_essentials should be put down as testEssentials
This functionality is also hit and miss across all 6.x versions
Tested with the following:
npm show @angular/cli@6.* version | \
while read pkg version;
do
echo npm install -g ${pkg};
echo ng --version;
v=$(echo ${version} | awk -F\' '{ gsub(/\./,""); print $2; }');
app="ngCli${v}";
echo mkdir -p ${app};
echo pushd ${app};
echo ng new \"${app}\" --directory=\"./\" -d;
echo popd;
echo echo $(printf "%0.s-" {1..25});
echo echo;

Hi @clydin, @Brocco, @hansl!
As @denofevil has already mentioned in his comment, due to the path validation issue it is now impossible to create a new Angular project in WebStorm and other JetBrains IDEs using Angular CLI 1.7.0. The IDE creates a project directory first and only then runs angular-cli in it β that is something we canβt easily change.
What can be done to solve the issue?
We really hope that it would be possible again to create Angular projects in WebStorm.
Thanks!
