Repro steps

I was trying to generate the service in my project created today with name JWTLogin.

ng g s security/security

it gives me error "cannot read property 'nulllogger' of undefined "
to solve this i updated the project with latest cli.

npm install --save @angular/cli@latest

after this when i entered below command

ng update @angular/cli

causes the below error in console window

Same here

upgrading to node8 fixed it for me. Details about actual error would definitely be helpful.

Luckily i found update guide (https://update.angular.io/) which says we have to update to Node8 or later before running ng update

We only support Node 8.9 and above in the CLI 6.
