Same problem here :(

System Version: macOS 10.13.1 (17B1003)
Kernel Version: Darwin 17.2.0

Same here on Windows 7.

I have the same problem. But the strangest thing is that when I go back to v1.5.5 this problem still occurs.

Node: 8.9.2
OS: macOS 10.13.1

Seeing this on Win 10, Node 8.1.2 too.

(I tried uninstalling, clearing NPM cache and re-installing, without luck)

ETA: Installing earlier versions on a similarly clean cache also shows the error, so it definitely looks like some unpinned dependency wreaking havoc.

I don't think it's an issue with @angular/cli itself but on one of its dependencies.

Same error on Window 7 and Ubuntu 16.04.

Angular CLI: 1.6.0
Node: 8.9.2
OS: win32 x64

Angular CLI: 1.6.0
Node: 9.1.0
OS: linux x64

[JozefFlakus]

@yarrgh you are right, when I downgraded it to 1.5.5 and 1.4.x this problem still occured.

[nicstrong]

Same error Windows 10:

Angular CLI: 1.6.0
Node: 9.2.0
OS: win32 x64

Testing locally, I'll come back with some (hopefully good) news soon.

Same error here with Windows 10/Node 6.11.5/npm 3.10.10.

If I create the directory myself and run the command, it has the same first errors and says it's installing packages and that it succeeds, but there are only '.git' and 'node_modules' folders and no files, and node_modules is empty.

This is a problem with trying to overwrite files in Schematics. It seems like some files were created twice and fixing a bug in validation actually uncovered the error. I'm working on a fix right now.

[choucry13]

Thank you @hansl.

[ezrasandzerbell]

Hopefully fixed soon ...

[hansl]

Will release in 5-10 minutes.
