Mention any other details that might be useful.

Tried to init a project (ng init).
Installed locally in the project's directory (npm i angular-cli@webpack)

Thanks! We'll be in touch soon.

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

giuseppepaul · 2016-09-01T11:04:21Z

I'm also getting this same issue (on a mac) after updating to the angular-cli webpack version following the steps here:

https://github.com/angular/angular-cli/blob/master/WEBPACK_UPDATE.md

Mac - El Capitan version 10.11.5
Same as above, running ng --version causes the same error, node version is: v5.4.0
Just running: ng new test
Same stack trace as above.

Thanks

giuseppepaul · 2016-09-01T11:15:10Z

Just playing around - I updated process-nextick-args, that is a dependency of readable stream from 1.0.6 to 1.0.7 and this fixed the issue for me.

monojack · 2016-09-01T22:46:16Z

Update npm to version 3.x.x

sculove · 2016-09-02T10:14:46Z

I solved it.
I install some modules manually.

npm i process-nextick-args util-deprecate

bthharper · 2016-09-02T11:26:08Z

I am getting this error too after a fresh install of angular-cli@webpack and then running any ng command.

I have used the above trick, but had to globally.

npm i -g process-nextick-args util-deprecate

ribizli · 2016-09-02T12:09:02Z

@sculove yes, this solution works for me too, but this seems to be a bug in the dependency hierarchy of angular-cli.

monojack · 2016-09-02T14:57:30Z

have you tried my solution before downvoting? that's how I fixed it. You don't need to bloat-up you global packages. ;)

bthharper · 2016-09-02T15:04:34Z

I'd already checked my version of npm, and was already running a variant of version 3. Did check though. The workaround proposed by @sculove (with a slight modification to do it globally) worked for me, but as @ribizli states this is a bug in the dependencies which has crept in somewhere.

mdocter · 2016-09-06T10:18:47Z

Even ng --version threw this error. Globally installing the process-nextick-args and util-deprecate packages didn't fix it for me. I'm running on Windows 10 (x64), so I had to cd into /c/Program Files/nodejs/node_modules/angular-cli and npm install both packages there locally, so without the -g flag :-).

rbj325 · 2016-09-08T20:52:36Z

Upgrading Node.js to 6.5 and reinstalling angular-cli also fixes this.

filipesilva · 2016-09-09T02:45:33Z

Looking into it myself.

filipesilva · 2016-09-09T03:45:39Z

[email protected], [email protected], win10.

Tried making a custom version and installing globally from it.

I can verify that adding process-nextick-args util-deprecate to the depedencies fixes this issue, but can't help but think this a symptom of another problem. Will investigate more.

Edit:
Can also verify that it doesn't have anything to do with our devDependencies, as I copied them over into dependencies and got the same error.

On a fresh copy of the repo, npm install seems to fail initially with a node-sass related problem, but a second npm install works fine. npm link after that doesn't give any errors on ng version. This might be related with some custom logic we have for npm linked setups.

filipesilva · 2016-09-10T02:05:11Z

I've been trying to get to the root of this issue without much success. As far as I can tell, this is either a node or a nvm problem somehow. Maybe an odd combination of packages, or some kind of odd interaction with packages that try to be built like node-sass.

I've tried a lot of installs so far, and the best way I've found to reproduce this in Windows:

install https://github.com/creationix/nvm
nvm install 5.12.0 (if you have it already, uninstall and reinstall)
nvm use 5.12.0
npm install -g [email protected]
ng version

This gets me the error shown in the initial report:

$ ng version

(...)

As reported by @kevinsawicki, this also seems to happen in other projects: electron-userland/electron-prebuilt#63 (comment)

As reported by @rbj325, using [email protected] seems to work. This is best user solution I've found so far.

I'm not sure what can be done on our side to support node 5... we could add process-nextick-args util-deprecate as dependencies, but we don't even use them directly.

filipesilva · 2016-09-12T03:00:00Z

Removing the critical label as it only seems to affect a subset of users and, as far as I can tell, it's not within out control to fix it.

SparK-Cruz · 2016-09-14T07:32:56Z

I'm on linux, node 6.2.0 (via distro's package manager), same error. Installing both dependencies as global packages fixed for me.

# npm install -g angular-cli@webpack
... warnings, native builds failing, messedup makefiles...
$ ng init

krishollenbeck · 2016-09-14T15:27:57Z

I am also getting this error after attempting to update from "angular-cli": "1.0.0-beta.11-webpack", to "angular-cli": "1.0.0-beta.11-webpack.3".

byteofsilicon · 2016-09-19T12:44:40Z

I am receiving this error as well. I installed the latest version of the CLI globablly:
npm uninstall -g angular-cli
npm cache clean
npm install -g angular-cli@latest
then created new angular2 project using the ng new project command to create a new project then executing the ng serve command.

Operating System: Windows 7
Angular CLI version: 1.0.0-beta.14
Node version: 6.5.0
NPM version: 3.9.2

web-dave · 2016-09-21T07:12:57Z

Still exists at beta 15.
angular-cli: 1.0.0-beta.15
node: 4.5.0
os: win32 ia32

npm i process-nextick-args util-deprecate fixed it.

sryzycki · 2016-09-26T22:20:28Z

I can confirm that ng command works for this setup as listed below (after upgrading Node):

angular-cli: 1.0.0-beta.15
node: 6.6.0
os: darwin x64

filipesilva · 2016-12-22T18:24:03Z

I think this was completely fixed in #3414. My theory is that, on machines that could build node-zopfli, it could fail and leave you with an incomplete install.

Closing but please let me know if it still happens.

ultramarichka · 2017-10-30T17:07:39Z

nvm install 6.11.3

helped me to install that damn package

alperdemirci · 2017-11-01T16:36:41Z

I ran into this issue and after spending sometime, I decided to delete node and npm.

To completely uninstall node + npm is to do the following:

go to /usr/local/lib and delete any node and node_modules
go to /usr/local/include and delete any node and node_modules directory
if you installed with brew install node, then run brew uninstall node in your terminal
check your Home directory for any local or lib or include folders, and delete any node or node_modules from there
go to /usr/local/bin and delete any node executable
I find all this from this link https://stackoverflow.com/a/11178106

And if you don't know how to reinstall Node and npm, follow this: http://blog.teamtreehouse.com/install-node-js-npm-mac

I hope this will help everyone

sushilcmd · 2018-02-05T09:11:11Z

I think this issue occur because of node version .So update your node and npm version.
I had same issue on Ubuntu then i updated my node and npm version and install angular CLI :)

Check node version

nodejs --version

Update node version

sudo apt-get install nodejs

Update npm version

sudo apt-get install npm

Install angular CLI

npm install -g @angular/cli

thinkspill · 2018-02-12T19:41:50Z

Seeing this error directly after npm i -g npm. Now even npm -v returns the process-nextick-args not found errror.

Node/npm originally installed via nodesource.com.

$ nodejs --version
v6.12.3

$ npm -v

Same problem as @thinkspill. npm -v throws the error already. Can't use any of the solutions above, since each time the same error pops up. Any ideas perhaps? 😞
