Desired behavior

Should update app to use SCSS as CSS Preprocessor

Mention any other details that might be useful (optional)

I have tried resaving all .json files in my project as UFT8 (without BOM)

The observed behavior is the same for me

Fix it manually:

1. Go to ${project folder}/node_modules/@schematics/angular/component/schema.json
2. Edit styleext: Update "default": "scss"
   Hope that help and wait for official fix.

The way that I used the config command and worked was:
ng config -g schematics.@schematics/angular.component '{ styleext: "scss"}'

But there are another issue where the global styleext is not recognized by ng new or generate commands. #10135

[clydin]

This has been resolved in 6.0.7.

[IAMRogerXi]

It seems the command should be in the following format.

ng config -g schematics..component "{ styleext: 'scss'}"
