Mention any other details that might be useful

I tried also with angular cli version 6.0.8 but same issue

Here you can find a minimal repro:

You might have more than one module in the same folder, which is causing the issue. However when specifying the module using the command argument, it should work.

I have tried this and it works when using --module app.

Can you setup a minimal repro please?

You can read here why this is needed. A good way to make a minimal repro is to create a new app via ng new repro-app and adding the minimum possible code to show the problem. Then you can push this repository to github and link it here.

This might be related to your directory structure so its really important to get an accurate repro to diagnose this.

i created a sort of minimal repro

Hi, thanks for your reproduction, however it look like the issue has been fixed in that latest version of the CLI. Please update to the most recent Angular CLI version.

If the problem persists after upgrading, please open a new issue, provide a simple repository reproducing the problem, and describe the difference between the expected and current behavior.
