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

I had the same problem, and what I did that works for me was:

1. Inside package.json file, update the Angular CLI version to my desired one:

   "devDependencies": { ...
     "@angular/cli": "^6.0.8",
     ...
   }
   

2. Delete the node_modules folder, in order to clean the project before update the dependencies with:

   npm install
   
   ng update @angular/cli
   

3. Try to build again my project (the last and successful attempt)

   ng build --prod
   

Answer 2

For me, the issue was that I have an angular project folder inside a rails project folder, and I ran all the angular update commands in the rails parent folder rather than the actual angular folder.

Answer 3

It works for me:

Delete folder node_modules

Run command: npm install

( If it does not work for the first time, repeat this 2 or 3 times, Its funny but it works for me. )

Answer 4

For me the problem was because of global @angular/cli version and @angular/compiler-cli were different. Look into package.json.

...
"@angular/cli": "6.0.0-rc.3",
"@angular/compiler-cli": "^5.2.0",
...

And if they don’t match, update or downgrade one of them.

This is because I haven't choose the Angular project directory.

It should be like:

~/Desktop/angularproject $ ng serve
