Versions.

node -v : v6.10.0 npm -v : 5.3.0 ng -v :

@angular/cli: 1.2.4
node: 6.10.0
os: darwin x64

Repro steps.

• install the latest angular-cli (version : 1.2.4)
• go in the desired repository
• run the command ng new myProject
• go in the created project
• go in myProject/src/app and create a folder “common”
• go in “common” folder
• run ng g c myComponent

The log given by the failure.

• the component is created at the right location :

installing component
  create src/app/common/my-component/my-component.component.css
  create src/app/common/my-component/my-component.component.html
  create src/app/common/my-component/my-component.component.spec.ts
  create src/app/common/my-component/my-component.component.ts
  update src/app/app.module.ts

• but the path written in “app.module.ts” is wrong

ERROR in /Users/u.name/myProject/src/app/app.module.ts (5,38): Cannot find module './common/src/app/common/my-component/my-component.component'.

ERROR in ./src/app/app.module.ts
Module not found: Error: Can't resolve './common/src/app/common/my-component/my-component.component' in '/Users/u.name/myPoject/src/app'
 @ ./src/app/app.module.ts 10:0-99
 @ ./src/main.ts
 @ multi webpack-dev-server/client?http://localhost:4200 ./src/main.ts

Desired functionality.

The path written is constantly adding “src/app” part whereas older version of the cli did not have this behavior The correct import statement should be : import { MyComponentComponent } from './common/my-component/my-component.component';

Mention any other details that might be useful.
