Repro steps
- Step 1 - in the project folder run command ng new angular-src
- Step 2 - modify the .angular-cli.json
"apps": [
{
"root": "src",
"outDir": "../public",
and
"assets": [
{
"glob": "**/*",
"input": "./assets/",
"output": "../public",
"allowOutsideOutDir": true
},
{
"glob": "favicon.ico",
"input": "./",
"output": "../public",
"allowOutsideOutDir": true
}
- Step 3 - run ng serve
Observed behavior
D:\Programare\NodeJS\MeanAuthApp\angular-src>ng serve
An asset cannot be written to a location outside the project.
Desired behavior
I want to be able to run ng serve with the location outDir: "../public"

I want to achieve the same output presented in the beginning of this tutorial linked below. And hope this will help! Many thanks!
