Repro steps

• ng new project-name

Observed behavior

pc@mantyz:~/dev/node$ ng new project-name
This command can not be run inside of a CLI project.

Desired behavior

Angular-cli must create a project.

Mention any other details that might be useful (optional)

ng new work with cli v6.0.0-rc.6
The project is successfully created relative to the "/"(root) directory, but is not created relative to the "/home/username" and subdir.

I have tested and its working fine. Please re-install it and post the Issue what you are getting.

[mantyz]

Hmm... The project is successfully created relative to the "/"(root) directory, but is not created relative to the "/home/username/" and subdir.

I have the same experience with 6.0.0-rc.7, i'm not able to create a new app.

[dimitrijuchtmans]

I experienced exactly the same thing, untill I realised that i had a .angular-cli.json file in my folder or parent folder structure somewhere.

[mantyz]

@dimitrijuchtmans, thank you. Yea, the directory "/home/username" contained an angular cli.json file.

I have the same problem after migration from rc.6. I run the command from a different folder (ng is not installed locally)

My flow:

1. cd /www // folder with all cloned repositories we have
2. ./other-updated-project/node_modules/.bin/ng new --style=scss new-project-name
3. I get This command can not be run inside of a CLI project.

I have no angular-cli project at /www path only in subdirectories...

it was working in rc.6

It seems to be a bit related to already fixed issue: https://github.com/angular/angular-cli/issues/10163

maybe related also to https://github.com/angular/angular-cli/issues/10508

On RC9, I can confirm this is still happening. Had to remove the .angular.json file in my home directory to get it to work.

[mehocode]

I don't have .angular.json file in home folder but this is still happening. I also tried to reinstall angular cli - no luck so far.
