Repro steps

ng new ng7app

The log given by the failure

Schematic input does not validate against the Schema: {"name":"ng7app"}
Errors:

Data path "" should have required property 'version'.

Desired functionality

I would like to generate a new Angular Workspace.

Mention any other details that might be useful

if i provide a 'version', then i get a different error :

$ ng new ng7app --version 7
Cannot read property 'entries' of undefined

This is generally because the CLI found some file like an old angular.json in the current directory or a parent directory. We should improve the error message - for now, try running the ng new command in a different directory or removing some stale files if you can guess which they are...

hi @alexeagle thanks,

i didn't have a rogue angular.json file, but i did have a rogue 'local' install in my Projects folder, must of forgot the -g sometime previously.

Anyway, Seems to have been resolved by removing the unneeded node_modules folder.

@hexl84 your issue is different from the original post. Please keep issues targetted to one thing at a time.

Same here:
ng -version:

Con la nueva actualización del Angular CLI
debes de especificar con que tipo de versión trabajarás

ng new project-name --version=7.0.4
o
ng new project-name --version=7.0.2

Saludos
