You need to do a diff compare with a newly generated project. The project structure changed.

I upgraded fine.

@robertbaker where can I read about theses changements, changelog? or you just compare green project? coz effectively lots things changed

Someone can link something about new structure?

Might be helpful if some info was added to the release, even if it's just to indicate there has been a complete change to the project structure and angular-cli.json / angular.json looks fairly different too. It would at least help reduced the amount of issues being raised.

You're running a beta, probably shouldn't do that unless you're willing to deal with breaking changes and lack of docs.

What you do is open your project folder in a diff tool like BeyondCompare and a newly generated project with the same settings. Then just merge the changes into yours. You'll need to move your src files into the new directories to make the diff compare easier. Then delete files that are no longer needed, like typings.d.ts and angular-cli.json

[dominikg]

you can use angular-cli-diff to get a quick overview of structural changes.

https://github.com/cexbrayat/angular-cli-diff
cexbrayat/angular-cli-diff@1.7.3...6.0.0-beta.8

maybe something like the angular update guide would be a good idea for angular-cli aswell?

[elvisbegovic]

@dominikg angular-cli-diff out of scope to me, but I had same idea this morning same update guid as angular would be awesome :)

I generate a new project from cli beta 8 and have this error after set enableIvy: true.

[leo6104]

I made .angular-cli.json -> angular.json converter for my projects.
https://gist.github.com/leo6104/b4a2da0863d3c5b1877860d62464c706

• Place this gist file ng-update-v6.js to angular project's root path
• use command node ng-update-v6.js .angular-cli.json
• check angular.json file (created by ng-update-v6.js)

If you want to test angular-cli >=6.0.0-beta.6, let's try this converter to create angular.json file :)
