Error: Local workspace file ('angular.json') could not be found

Question

I have travis-ci integrated with my GitHub account (https://github.com/pradeep0601/Angular5-Router-App).

When I updated @angular/cli versio

Answer 1

Try using the below command:

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

It will perform the below

• Updating karma configuration

• Updating configuration

• Removing old config file (.angular-cli.json)

• Writing config file (angular.json)

Pls note that the above command should be run in the folder where you have file .angular-cli.json and it will be then replaced by angular.json.

Answer 2

I was getting the same error messages. It was a silly mistake on my end, I was not running ng serve in the directory where my Angular project is. Make sure you are in the correct directory (project directory) before running this command.

Answer 3

If you don't know the version ,current project has been made, you can omit --from command and type --migrate-only

ng update @angular/cli --migrate-only

Answer 4

Check out this link to migrate from Angular 5.2 to 6. https://update.angular.io/

Upgrading to version 8.9 worked for me.

Answer 5

I was having this error message inside a docker container. I resolved it adding:

WORKDIR /usr/src

to Dockerfile.

Answer 6

I was trying to set my Ionic 4 app to run as a pwa. When I run the command:

ng add @angular/pwa

...got the error message. After some try and error I discovered that when my project was created the start command was wrong. I was using an Ionic 3 version:

ionic start myApp tabs --type=ionic-angular

And the correct is:

ionic start myApp tabs --type=angular

with no 'ionic-' in type. This solved the error.
