Anyone please?

Did you look into the
angular.jsonfile? It's probably corrupted, is it easy to repair by hand?The repro steps are not sufficient since you need to have some older application state to trigger the error.

Hello @alexeagle
I don't have yet the angular.json file. I am upgrading from angular 5 with .angular-cli.json file.
I did all the upgrade and ran
ng updateand I get that nothing needs to be updated anymore, all is good.However, angular.json file is not being created!
I am even trying to run
ng update @angular/cli --migrate-only, it runs without any errors, but angular.json file is not being created.Also, when I run
ng serverI get this error:Local workspace file ('angular.json') could not be found.cado1982 commentedon Aug 10, 2018
Please post your .angular-cli.json file. I guess it’s possible that if this file is corrupt or in a state that the updater doesn’t recognize that it could throw this error.

Hi @cado1982
Here's a copy of my .angular-cli.json file. I just removed the
scriptsandstylesnot to paste a long content here.{ "$schema": "./node_modules/@angular/cli/lib/config/schema.json", "project": { "name": "client-app" }, "apps": [ { "root": "src", "outDir": "dist", "assets": [ "assets", "favicon.ico", "web.config" ], "index": "index.html", "main": "main.ts", "polyfills": "polyfills.ts", "test": "test.ts", "tsconfig": "tsconfig.app.json", "testTsconfig": "tsconfig.spec.json", "prefix": "app", "styles": [], "scripts": [], "environmentSource": "environments/environment.ts", "environments": { "dev": "environments/environment.ts", "hmr": "environments/environment.hmr.ts", "prod": "environments/environment.prod.ts" } } ], "e2e": { "protractor": { "config": "./protractor.conf.js" } }, "lint": [ { "project": "src/tsconfig.app.json", "exclude": "**/node_modules/**" }, { "project": "src/tsconfig.spec.json", "exclude": "**/node_modules/**" }, { "project": "e2e/tsconfig.e2e.json", "exclude": "**/node_modules/**" } ], "test": { "karma": { "config": "./karma.conf.js" } }, "defaults": { "styleExt": "scss", "component": {} } }hansl commentedon Aug 15, 2018
You need to run
ng update @angular/cli --migrate-only --from=5.0.0(or from the current version). If you don't mention the from argument, it might think that everything is up to date already.bhaidar commentedon Aug 16, 2018
@hansl
I did mention that and still, it won't work!
What I did for now, is generate a new app with the latest angular-cli, copy the angular.json file and brought in all the contents of the old .angular-cli.json file and it seems to work for now!

Hey @bhaidar, thanks for sharing the workaround. This seems like a problem with legacy configuration. Let's close the issue for now and revisit if it happens again. Please open a new ticket if this is still relevant.
