Heya, do you maybe have an old angular-cli.json or .angular-cli.json in your user folder?

[balr404]

Hi filipesilva,
I have it '.angular-cli.json'. When i create the new application ,

For example
step 1: ng new 'my-app' // it is working (
step 2: i navigate to the path 'my-app'. Did 'npm install'
step 3: ng serve // it is throwing same error Cannot read property "glob" of null

Note:
goto 'my-app' applicaiton path and try to execute 'ng' command is not working
my-app user$ ng //// it is throwing same error Cannot read property "glob" of null

Appreciate your help. Most of the people are suffering becoz of this issue.

Thanks

I have tried the following option to resolve the issue
Steps to resolve the issue

1. $ pwd
   it shows —> /Users/YourName /*** That is your Home path***/

Execute the below command to display the hidden files

2. $ defaults write com.apple.Finder AppleShowAllFiles true
3. $ killall Finder

After executing the above command you will see the hidden files.
if “.angular-cli.json” file exists under “/Users/YourName” (i.e Home Path) then remove “.angular-cli.json” file.

then navigate to your application path and try execute ‘ng’ command.
