Description

When I use ng g component com1 command and then

G:\ProjectData\WebstormProjects\AngularTest>ng g component com1
CREATE src/app/com1/com1.component.html (19 bytes)
CREATE src/app/com1/com1.component.spec.ts (614 bytes)
CREATE src/app/com1/com1.component.ts (267 bytes)
CREATE src/app/com1/com1.component.css (0 bytes)
UPDATE src/app/app.module.ts (472 bytes)

But something went wrong when I open com1.component.ts file.

And file property：

Using other component names does not cause this state

🌍 Your Environment

It seems that your environment is not configured properly, as the .ts are trying to be opened by media player instead of an editor. This happens because windows just interprets the .ts extension as MPEG-2 TS.

Changing your Open with setting to open ts files to an editor will fix the problem.

No.I use text editor tool to open it.

You can see this file size is 0

Can you please provide the full output of ng version? In the video above, in the terminal it shows that the file is 267 bytes which is the correct size. However, it's strange that no contents are present when opening it with Webstorm.

Can you please provide the full output of ng version?

Also, taking a look at the video again, in the file explorer it shows that the file is 1kb However, upon checking the properties it states that it's 0 bytes.

Can you kindly share your project on github and link it here? Thanks.

I can not add generate files to git.

G:\ProjectData\WebstormProjects\AngularTest>git add src/app/com1
warning: could not open directory 'src/app/com1/': No such file or directory

You can see this gif.
Generate files all empty when I create component with name "comxxx"
But generate other name component such as bbb it work（normal）.

I test ng g component command :

ng g component com0 --> it work
ng g component com1 --> not work
ng g component com2 --> not work
ng g component com3 --> not work
ng g component com4 --> not work
ng g component com5 --> not work
ng g component com6 --> not work
ng g component com7 --> not work
ng g component com8 --> not work
ng g component com9 --> not work
ng g component com10 --> it work
ng g component coma --> it work
ng g component comaa --> it work
ng g component aaa0 --> it work
ng g component a0 --> it work

It only not work when component name : com1,com2....com9

Hi @itning, in Windows COM1, COM2, COM3, COM4, COM5, COM6, COM7, COM8, COM9 among others are reserved.

More info here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-gb/windows/win32/fileio/naming-a-file?redirectedfrom=MSDN

Closing as this is not a CLI bug but an OS restriction.
