Angular CLI error Cannot read property 'write' of undefined

Question

When I run my project by ng serve I see this error in command prompt

Cannot read property 'write' of undefined
TypeError: Cannot read property 'write' of undefined
    at UI.write (C:\Source\Front\node_modules\@angular\cli\ember-cli\lib\ui\index.js:56:23)

How can I solve this problem?

Answer 1

related with angular-cli latest release - 6.1.0 and 6.1.1.downgrade angular-cli to 6.0.8 and it works fine.

Answer 2

I can't reproduce your issue. You still have an old ember-cli folder in your error logs. This folder is not part of the AngularCLI anymore. So to update your project:

First update all of the global dependencies of your system:

npm update -g

Then update your local dependencies this way:

rmdir /S /Q node_modules
npm install --save-dev @angular/cli@latest
ng update --all
npm install

It will remove your old node_modules folder first and then it will reinstall it properly and cleanly.

I was have the same problem and I found the solution at github issue related to the same problem

npm install --save-dev @angular/[email protected]
ng update @angular/cli --migrate-only --from=1.7.4

Web cannot run after update angular cli to 6.1.0 #11661
