Description

Hi, last week I was using ng generate and there wasn't any problems.

Today, when I'm running
ng g c [component_name]
I got this error: "Could not find an NgModule. Use the '--skip-import' option to skip importing in NgModule."

So I tried to run this
ng g c --standalone [component_name]
It generates successfully, however the component now coming with suffixes.

Minimal Reproduction

Run:
ng g c [component_name]
Error: "Could not find an NgModule. Use the '--skip-import' option to skip importing in NgModule."

ng g c --standalone [component_name]
It generates successfully, however the component now coming with suffixes.
