Hi

Not a big deal but can you said:
duplicate of his own question ? :P

I think you made a mistake about the tag of the duplicate question, even if I didn't find it for the moment ;)

[sstone2423]

Wasn't able to find a duplicate in the issue search... Can we reopen this as I'm having the same problem with all ng commands inside the angular project root folder

[mo-norant]

Same issue here

The serve command requires to be run in an Angular project, but a project definition could not be found. error when ng serve is issued

[tgoawa]

Also experiencing this in a project I tried upgrading the Angular CLI to 7.0.2

[MarkyMarc35]

Experiencing the same issue in a project I updated to Angular CLI 7

[JohnGrisham]

My issue was that my angular.json file was not in the root of my project. I moved it there and this fixed the error for me.

[joe20123]

I came across the same error. The reason is that new angular cli update makes angular-cli.json redundant, and it is replaced with angular.json instead. My previous Angular Cli version is 1.7.4, so to make the change, I ran the following command, it will make the conversion for you:

ng update @angular/cli --migrate-only --from=1.7.4

I also encountered this problem. Is there any way to solve this problem?

[WarrenWalker]

So instead of naming the new project in a single command, I just waiting to be prompted.

$ ng new

as seen in the screenshot.

i dont want to create new project but i need to create custom pipe by creating new .ts file in my already existing project. but at the time of creating it throws an error of- "The new command requires to be run outside of a project, but a project definition was found at "angular.json"". I am just a fresher , so please help me out . Thank you :)
And BTW , New Zealand is a great country ! :)

Recently i also faced this issue, nothing helped me atlast after thinking for a while i got to know that node-modules were not installed yet and installing the packages( npm i) solved the problem.

[afifkraiem]

ng update @angular/cli
this command fixes the problem for me

[tiwarinitin94]

@afifkraiem Thank you so much this worked for me.

Me too, i got the same message... i'm beginner with angular, can someone more experienced could help, what could be a problem ?
I'm trying to start simple angular app, but the problem is actually with different CLI versions.
I tried with above mentioned code to migrate but didn't help. Tried also with ng update with some variations and npm install, but unsuccessfully.

http://prntscr.com/p7e4tv
on the left side is new version, on the right is older version.

Update/Install latest version of npm - for mac or linux OS use sudo before command
Run npm -v to see which version you have, then npm install npm@latest -g to install the newest npm update. Run npm -v again if you want to make sure npm updated correctly.

Update angular to latest version Globally
sudo npm uninstall -g angular-cli // For Mac

npm uninstall -g angular-cli // For Windows Open Powershell on Administrator Mode

Then we need to clear the cache using the following command.
sudo npm cache verify

Now, install the Angular CLI using the following command.
sudo npm install -g @angular/cli@latest

If you have created an Angular project then go inside that folder and type the following command.
ng update @angular/core

You can update RxJS using the ng update command.
ng update rxjs
