Desired functionality

It should generate the component from the schematic without error.

Mention any other details that might be useful

I've traced it to line 127 in @angular-devkit/schematics/tools/file-system-host-base.js. The code 'allNames.push(...aliases);' appears to push the array ['material-nav', 'materialNav'] into allNames. Since it's in a for loop, the array gets pushed twice. I manually edited the line to 'allNames.push(alias);' and it generated the component as desired.

Thanks for putting your fix in there, this was driving me crazy.

[tomasvaedelund]

I just had the same problem but sadly the suggested solution didn't work for me. Instead I moved the line 127: allNames.push(...aliases); outside, just after, the loop so it's now on line 128. Now everything works fine for me.

[kartikwatwani]

Worked for me thanks :)

[IAfanasov]

in sources https://github.com/angular/angular-cli/blob/master/packages/angular_devkit/schematics/tools/file-system-engine-host-base.ts line
allNames.push(...aliases); already moved out of that cycle.

[thesayyn]

is there any workaround for this issue ?

[IAfanasov]

@thesayyn two workarounds have been already listed in this topic. read above

[LAMASLAYER]

I moved the line as suggested by @tomasvaedelund and it worked fine for me.

I believe this was fixed by #11390, and the latest 6.1 RC should not have this problem. Please let me know if that's not the case so I can reopen.

[HARINI-VARADHARAJAN]

[AnshulMahajan10]
