This is a problem with trying to overwrite files in Schematics. It seems like some files were created twice and fixing a bug in validation actually uncovered the error. I’m working on a fix right now.

Closing this issue as fixed. Thanks all!

Done. Can someone checks that it works? (It works locally).

@yarrgh you are right, when I downgraded it to 1.5.5 and 1.4.x this problem still occured.

I don’t think it’s an issue with @angular/cli itself but on one of its dependencies.

@seekheart try creating the project at some new path. this resolved the issue for me.

Hey guys,

I’m having the same issue and I’ve done

npm uninstall -g @angular/cli
npm cache verify
npm i -g @angular/cli
ng new t

Yet still get the same errors, I’m on now 8.9 and angular cli 1.6.6…
