Repro steps.

Was this an app that wasn't created using the CLI? What change did you do on your code? etc.

cd ~/some/subdirectory/of/home
ng new testproject

The log given by the failure.

Normally this include a stack trace and some more information.

No error messages. The CLI prints Project 'testproject' successfully created.

Mention any other details that might be useful.

Expected behavior: The project is created in a subdirectory of the current directory, for instance ~/some/subdirectory/of/home/testproject.

Actual behavior: The project is created directly in the home directory under ~/testproject. The current directory is empty.

You have a rogue node_modules in your home directory. Delete it and it should work again.

Hi, thanks for the quick response. I had a node_modules in my home directory. However, even after deleting it the problem still exists. New projects are still created in the home directory.

@Lestard you should also have a rogue package.json in your home directory. Deleting that should fully take care of the problem.

Thanks you. Now it works.
Where does this behavior comes from? Is this a "bug" or is this the desired behavior - and if this is the case, why?
