It works fine in Angular 5

It works in angular 6 beta 3, but failed starting from beta 4.

Yes this is a bug with how we look for the ngsw-worker.js file. Will fix.

The --service-worker is no longer available on the ng new command. The ability to add service worker to a project will be done via ng add @angular/pwa --project [project name].

With that being said, the reason you're not seeing service worker files in your dist directory is likely due to the fact that service worker is not configured for your project.

[Brocco]

Currently the service worker functionality is bundled in with ng add @angular/pwa, adding just service worker alone could be done via something like ng add @angular/service-worker is being considered for v6.1
