ng update @angular/cli hangs

Observed behavior

just hangs!
even I started with sudo

Desired behavior

should run smoothly

Mention any other details that might be useful (optional)

npm install functioned normally, I believe the network is OKAY.

After many try, ng update @angular/cli ends with a bug below:

Mine hangs for a few minutes then outputs the following:

503 Service Unavailable

Is there a verbose option? Would be nice to see what it's doing under the hood.

[MonsieurMan]

Hangs forever without any output in my case.

I am getting a hang as well. Finished with a connection timeout.

I was having this errors but now it worked here after running VSCode as administrator in Windows environment. Git bash is default terminal.

Junior@MYPC MINGW64 /c/Projects/SampleApp.SPA (master)
$ ng update @angular/cli
Your global Angular CLI version (6.1.1) is greater than your local
version (1.7.4). The local Angular CLI version is used.

To disable this warning use "ng config -g cli.warnings.versionMismatch false".

Junior@MYPC MINGW64 /c/Projects/SampleApp.SPA (master)

The error was happening in third step (from angular 5.2 to 6.0):

1. npm install -g @angular/cli
2. npm install @angular/cli
3. ng update @angular/cli

I also was having problems when trying to rerun npm install @angular/cli at step two, so I had to specifiy the version

npm install @angular/cli@6.1.1

the installation worked
and also worked

$ ng update @angular/cli
            Updating karma configuration
            Updating configuration
            Removing old config file (.angular-cli.json)
            Writing config file (angular.json)
            Some configuration options have been changed, please make sure to update any npm scripts which you may have modified.

I do not know if it has something to do with permissions, an intermitent timeout or a bug in npm install which goes crazy when you do not add the target angular version.

@allanbond you are right! Where is the verbose option? My angular update is stuck and i don't see any logs.

I also experienced this issue when upgrading from Angular 5 to Angular 6. On my internet connection i.e. 2 MB/s it took half an hour but no result and then I increased my internet speed to 50 - 60 (MB/s) at this speed it took hardly 5 - 10 mins to run update command. Overall ng update is working but it seems that nothings happening so wait and let NG do its work. Hope it help you 👍

[samends]

Just want to chime in here to say I'm getting hanging as well when I run ng update @angular/cli@6 going from angular version 5.2.0 to 6.1.1. Specifically I run:

npm install @angular/cli@6.1.1
npm update @angular/cli

The console hangs without displaying anything. I'm using windows 10
