As the warning says, It’s because you have more than one module

You can solve it by specifying the name of the module you want to import the component to it. ng generate component componentName --module=app.module

i am using Ubuntu, and following command solves the issue for me ng generate component componentName --module=app.module

As the warning says, It’s because you have more than one module We can solve it by specifying the name of the module you want to import the component to it.

ng generate component componentName --module=app.module this is solved my issue need to define the module in which you want to create this component.

i’ve the same issue, because i have the “app.module.ts” AND the “material.module.ts” in the app-folder. i have temporaly delete the material.module.ts… so it goes!

Add manualy a new folder, like app/shared and paste your material.module.ts in it. So, import this module where you want but you have to change the the path to it, like : …from ‘./ shared/ Material.module’
