Repro steps

ng new ng7app

The log given by the failure

Schematic input does not validate against the Schema: {"name":"ng7app"}
Errors:

Data path "" should have required property 'version'.

Desired functionality

I would like to generate a new Angular Workspace.

Mention any other details that might be useful

if i provide a 'version', then i get a different error :

$ ng new ng7app --version 7
Cannot read property 'entries' of undefined

The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:

alexeagle · 2018-10-23T22:56:05Z

This is generally because the CLI found some file like an old angular.json in the current directory or a parent directory. We should improve the error message - for now, try running the ng new command in a different directory or removing some stale files if you can guess which they are...

breningham · 2018-10-24T08:35:00Z

hi @alexeagle thanks,

i didn't have a rogue angular.json file, but i did have a rogue 'local' install in my Projects folder, must of forgot the -g sometime previously.

Anyway, Seems to have been resolved by removing the unneeded node_modules folder.

alexeagle · 2018-10-24T13:26:21Z

@hexl84 your issue is different from the original post. Please keep issues targetted to one thing at a time.

SantiPrll · 2018-11-02T16:40:49Z

Con la nueva actualización del Angular CLI
debes de especificar con que tipo de versión trabajarás

ng new project-name --version=7.0.4
o
ng new project-name --version=7.0.2

Saludos

westdabestdb · 2018-11-03T23:34:53Z

@SantiPrll Hello, thank you for help but now I get this error.
ng new freeng --version=7.0.2
Could not find (undefined)

unaor · 2018-11-05T13:57:57Z

using @SantiPrll comment it worked for me

SantiPrll · 2018-11-06T01:11:55Z

@westdabestdb Si te fijas replique tu ejemplo y si trabaja, te recomiendo que resinstalar el CLI de forma global.

josalvatorre · 2018-11-07T21:24:48Z

As SantiPrII recommended, I reinstalled the angular cli globally. I'm still getting the "Could not find (undefined)" error after running both "ng new angular-website --version=7.0.4" and "ng new angular-website --version=7.0.2".
Does anyone know what "(undefined)" could be referring to?

SantiPrll · 2018-11-08T02:16:30Z

Que versión de node estás utilizando?

josalvatorre · 2018-11-08T19:20:27Z

StarDrop9 · 2018-11-10T18:18:40Z

I removed node_modules folder in users/{user name} and ng new [appname] now working.

meysamsahragard · 2018-11-14T08:11:20Z

Hi, For resolve this error uninstall @schematics/angular package or remove @schematics directory from node_modules directory then install a previous version. For example:
npm i @schematics/[email protected] --save-dev

movadee · 2018-11-19T20:08:02Z

node_modules

this solved my issue! thanx

breningham · 2018-11-19T21:20:46Z

I'm closing this issue as the original issue has been resolved.

StephenWTurner · 2018-12-04T13:38:26Z

I had the same error when I used underscores in the new app name instead of hyphens:

npm new my_new_app >>> Fails
npm new my-new-app >>> Succeeds

vsanandan · 2018-12-08T02:11:13Z

After trying all these things, I get the following error for the command
ng new getrequest --version=7.1.2

Tree type is not supported.

I am trying the above command on CLI.

Some time I get the error: Could not find (undefined)
I tried running as a super user (in Linux)

MartinJohns · 2018-12-18T09:39:52Z

I had the same error when I used underscores in the new app name instead of hyphens:

I had the same error when one of the name-parts was digits, e.g. prototype-1234. Changing it to prototype-s1234 works. So here it's a case of a bad regex.

B1u2Pr0 · 2019-01-17T03:48:33Z

Hello, StephenWTurner
Thanks for your comment
Could you tell me the reason why it solves the issue?

StephenWTurner · 2019-01-17T09:48:20Z

Hi B1u2Pr0, I'm not sure it does solve the original issue at all. However, it allows a simple typo to be eliminated before getting unrelated 'me toos',

subbuswaroop · 2019-01-19T08:12:40Z

I was facing the same issue... The problem for me was , I was using an underscore when creating the directory name.
I was using "ng new Test_Angular". Then I changed it to "ng new Test-Angular" and it worked for me

aeros281 · 2019-02-20T00:56:01Z

I have the same error creating new project with underscore

ng new angular_wip
? Would you like to add Angular routing? Yes
? Which stylesheet format would you like to use? Sass   [ http://sass-lang.com   ]
Schematic input does not validate against the Schema: {"name":"angular_wip","version":"7.3.2","routing":true,"style":"sass"}
Errors:

  Data path ".name" should match format "html-selector".

Anyway to resolve this? It's ridiculous that the project must not contain underscore in order for the cli to successfully initialize the app.

I removed node_modules folder in users/{user name} and ng new [appname] now working.

Eliminar la carpeta de node_modules funcionó para mí, había quedado un package.json que también lo eliminé.

johnmanoahs · 2019-03-05T23:23:27Z

Apparently if your project name has a "_" or "-" (underscore or hyphen) it tends to throw this error. I removed the special chars and it worked ok.

royelias · 2019-03-13T11:36:05Z

I had the same error when I used underscores in the new app name instead of hyphens:

npm new my_new_app >>> Fails
npm new my-new-app >>> Succeeds

had same issue and using hyphens instead of underscore worked perfectly

alexbrtsv · 2019-03-14T12:04:02Z

have the sane trouble

npm uninstall -g angular-cli
npm uninstall -g @angular/cli
npm cache clean
npm install -g @angular/cli@latest

reinstall helps me

n8bizall · 2019-03-21T15:34:06Z

I had this same issue and just had to make it
ng new myApp --version 7.3.6 <-the version of angular I am using

🤦‍♂️ - This worked for me.

Thanks @johnmanoahs

rafaelzuckerberg · 2019-03-26T20:06:46Z

For me, before, I updated npm : "npm update" and after run : "ng new projetc-teste --version=7.3.6"

mohanacchu · 2019-03-27T08:17:49Z

i'm still facing the same issue.My current angular version is 7.3.6 but error still exist

ng new learn-curve
C:\Users\mohan.n\Desktop\My Help in Angular Nov\angular-learn>ng new learn-curve
Schematic input does not validate against the Schema: {"name":"learn-curve"}
Errors:

Data path "" should have required property 'version'.

i also tried ng new projetc-teste --version=7.3.6
for which i'm getting Cannot read property 'entries' of undefined

Please help me out

chemc2 · 2019-04-01T19:43:03Z

@mohanacchu try no to use '-' on the name of the project. Something is wrong with newer versions in that regard

rafaelzuckerberg · 2019-04-02T04:27:34Z

Try inside your project to remove node_module and run npm install again

farooqahmedkhan · 2019-04-10T06:06:58Z

I had the same error when I used underscores in the new app name instead of hyphens:

npm new my_new_app >>> Fails
npm new my-new-app >>> Succeeds

Strange but this actually resolved the schematic issue.

Cuica20 · 2019-04-12T08:43:39Z

Sivaneymar07 · 2019-04-19T04:58:48Z

3 things you should check if you face problem on ng new

check the directory name - should not have alphanumeric and special characters.
type ng --version in node cmd, check whether all package is clear without showing error on the package version or else install those packages.
if cmd shows error on @angular\cli then delete c:\users\username\Appdata\Roaming\npm\node_modules@angular\cli and then install it, it will work. if you feel appdata is missing in the folder then it is in hidden, u should do C: -> Organize -> Folder Options -> View -> Hidden files and folder -> Show hidden files.....

Hope this will help you....

mine had alphanumeric. Removed the number and now its working. Ty

yogeshdotnet · 2019-04-29T02:58:11Z

HI,
This issue may be resolved by applying the following command in cmd.

npm i @schematics/angular@latest --save-dev

after applying this no need to write version after angular 7 project name just write
ng new ang-project-name

rafmos · 2019-04-29T15:07:11Z

I deleted the -3 at the end of my project name and then it worked. :)

ng new my-project-3 ----> Doesn't work
ng new my-project-three ----> Works

crissdev · 2019-05-05T17:28:15Z

It seems the CLI doesn't like project names that end with a dash/underscore and only digits (e.g app-name-01, app-name_02). Removing the dash/underscore works, ie. app-name01, app-name02.

vip9 · 2019-05-17T09:07:06Z

For me, helped removing ~/package-lock.json (who knows why that file was in my home)

alikarimii · 2019-05-20T12:30:35Z

use --clientProject project-name flag work for me

sagar87966 · 2019-05-21T08:54:54Z

previous CLI version:-- 7.3.8
solution:-- updated CLI version to the latest
use CLI version:- 7.3.9
work for me

iappwebdev · 2019-05-23T06:14:26Z

In my case i had an app anem like abc-2-xyz. Changing it to abc2xyz resolved the problem.

Nocturnal-2 · 2019-06-13T20:38:23Z

I was getting this error when I had an underscore sign in my project name. Worked normally after removing it.

Angular CLI: 7.3.8

inajad · 2019-07-07T19:48:26Z

I had the same error when I used underscores in the new app name instead of hyphens:

npm new my_new_app >>> Fails
npm new my-new-app >>> Succeeds

this one worked fine for me.
Thanks.

vrathaure · 2019-07-18T16:32:22Z

Resolved as follows:-

npm uninstall -g @angular/cli
npm uninstall @angular/cli
npm cache verify
npm install -g @angular/cli@next
npm install @angular/cli@next
npm i @schematics/angular@next

Anand-Chavan · 2019-07-24T12:09:12Z

first type ng -v
then according to your version install following command
@schematics/[email protected]

dsun-ge · 2019-09-09T15:01:35Z

I had the same problem with ng new naq_monthly_settlement_report. I fixed it with ng new naq-monthly-settlement-report
