Hm... The official documentation says that the command still exists. See this wiki page.

Also, I did use it in previous revision of Angular CLI 6 (see the end of my question).

Running ng build without specifying a project name works ng build --verbose
When specifying a project name it no longer works

ng build my-lib --verbose
Unknown option: '--verbose'

Why would I want more logging for an already verbose output...we'll, when building my library the build silently dies and I have no idea what is wrong.. "The build worked fine yesterday..."

ng build my-lib
Building Angular Package

Command is done and nothing is built

[MarcelMalik]

Same with ng build projectName --verbose and with ng build projectName --show-circular-dependencies.

But ng build --help shows them as options:

usage: ng build <project> [options]
options:
...
  --show-circular-dependencies
    Show circular dependency warnings on builds.
...
  --verbose
    Adds more details to output logging.
...

[pavel-agarkov]

but you can still specify it in angular.json file:

"options": {
    "verbose": true
}

[mnicic]

@pavel-agarkov Right, it's another approach. But it's not solution for me.

[vilanz]

@pavel-agarkov's suggestion can't be used in a library. options: verbose is valid only on applications.

ng build --verbose (using default project, @trojanc's suggestion) is not working for me on @angular/cli 6.1.5.
