Mention any other details that might be useful.

Was working fine yesterday. Today I tried to deploy the app I've been working on with my travis CI build and that's when I first encountered this error. When I tried to reproduce it at the most basic level on my own machine it gave me the same error. I'm not sure what could've changed since I had to version locked in to 1.0.0-beta.18. I have the angular cli globally installed on my machine at version 18 as well and it is working fine. It's only when I try to install it locally to a directory that I am running in to this.

For me it has messed up every version since beta 16. Beta 15 gives me a different error, but betas 16, 17, 18, and 19-2 give me the ast-tools issue

I'm thinking it must be an issue with a recently-updated dependency that's marked as ^ in the angular-cli's own package.json, because the issue happens when you npm install even to a previous version

[roelver]

New version 1.0.0-beta.19-3 did not fix it.
( node 7.0.0 / npm 4.0.1 / macOS Sierra v.10.12.1 )
