Hi, you should give more information about your problem, angular-cli version your using, OS version & so on.

[nicolaselmir]

Im using the latest version of the cli , OSX El Capitan

I got all these:

Could not start watchman; falling back to NodeWatcher for file system events.

Everything looks fine to me, maybe, just maybe, inside your terminal, you're not in the location you think you are so the project does get generated but not where you expect it to be. Could you check that?

This happens to me sometimes, when I navigate away from the directory I usually scaffold my projects into, or am inside one of the projects... I forget that my terminal isn't pointing where it should and I'm left scratching my head for a second. :)

[nicolaselmir]

No im in the location

[neilhem]

@nicolaselmir so you have folder test Inside of which there is nothing?

[fatsu]

Try another name. I got something similar:

E:\projects\test>ng init
We currently do not support a name of `test`.

[thorstenschaefer]

Yes, I run into the same issue. "test" is some kind of reserved name and doesn't work. All other names should work. It's a bit unfortunate as apparently many new users try out naming their first project to play with CLI 'test'...

Just tried a ng new myproject after having updated to 1.0.0-beta.5 and it errored with this message :

This is the result of ng version :

angular-cli: 1.0.0-beta.5
node: 5.4.0

Any idea ?

[jbouzekri]

Ok just a case of updating with an already global install of angular-cli. Uninstall then reinstall is the key :)

[hansl]

Considering this fixed.

[twixr]

jesse:test jesse$ ng new test
Project name "test" is not a supported name.

I don't get it, why am I not allowed to create a project called test?

[difex01]

I think is just a name convention like when a password should have more than 6 characters.
I couldn't create a project called "app" so i had to use "apptesting" and then i renamed the folder project to "app"

[madnight]

can we reopen this issue?
