ng update / init broken on an existing project since beta.31

OS

Mac OSX Sierra

Versions.

@angular/cli: 1.0.0-beta.31
node: 6.9.5

Repro steps.

During the update from beta.30 to beta.31, running ng update or ng init exits after asking me to overwrite README.md.. No matter what option i choose, it just quits straight away without continuing further.

The log given by the failure.

$ ng update

This is a bug in the current release... but it will be 'solved' as part of #4416, which should be in the next release.

@filipesilva so what is the workaround for everybody that can't call ng update with beta.31?

[filipesilva]

@victornoel no workaround per se. Moving forward, all changes that require user project changes should be in https://github.com/angular/angular-cli/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md

Ironically enough, the single change that needed users to update code was left out of the changelog by accident. You can find it here: https://github.com/angular/angular-cli/pull/4587/files

Other than that, to update now you should just need to follow the steps in https://github.com/angular/angular-cli#updating-angular-cli except for ng update.

We'll remove those commands and the instructions soon.

I'll reopen this issue though, a lot of people are running into the problem so it's more visible open.

I've created a folder in the past where I add new dummy project each time a new version of Angular-Cli rolls out. Then copy over files to previous one's folder and see changes on git gui.

Shouldn't those new instructions for the changes to Karma include the --save-dev flag?

To update follow these steps in your project:

• npm uninstall karma-remap-istanbul --save-dev
• npm install karma-coverage-istanbul-reporter --save-dev

[filipesilva]

Right you are @jtsom!
