Other details that might be useful

I have used npm to uninstall @angular/cli and reinstall it globally.
Other commands also fail with the same error. For example ng g component some-new-component also throws the error:

The command "generate" has an option without the required type and name fields.

Getting this too. On a fresh install of node/npm.

@angular/cli — 1.4.5
node — 6.11.4
npm — 3.10.10
os — Windows 10 x64

Edit: This applied to

ng generate

as well

[noeazar]

Installed the CLI and then got this error when trying to generate a new component:

The command "generate" has an option without the required type and name fields.

@angular/cli: 1.4.5
node: 6.11.4
os: win32 x64
npm: 5.4.2

[delasteve]

Just spoke with @hansl - he reverted the last commit to https://github.com/angular/devkit. I just tested after reinstalling the CLI and everything is back to working.

[joewimmer]

Yup. worked for me now. Thanks @delasteve and @hansl
