Mention any other details that might be useful.

The directory cli-test is created but is empty.

I have also tried updating a project that was started when using angular-cli beta 21. This project has been successfully updated through all the intervening betas up to beta 24 but now ng init fails with the same Cannot read property 'input' of null message however in this case the error log points to the local node_modules whereas the above log points to the global node_modules. Also, no files in the project directory are altered.

Thanks Douglas

This seems related to the angular-cli.json file. Can you try copying over a brand new angular-cli.json from a new project (use --skip-npm to not wait for npm installs).

If that fixes it, can you show me your previous angular-cli.json so we can see if we can figure out what caused it to break?

[DouglasWebster]

I cannot create a new project. Trying to create a new project fails with the message and log output as detailed above. All that the ng new command seems to do before the failure is create an empty directory with the name of the project. As the directory is empty there is no angular-cli.json file to supply.

[DouglasWebster]

I have now tried the update to beta-26 and things are slightly different. Where as angular-cli beta-25.5
would not create a new project, only an empty directory the angular-cli beta 26 will now create a new project. However, trying to run anything other than ng lint gives an error. All errors are Cannot read property 'input' of null and the log output given for ng build is

the error messages all seem the same until line 26 where they vary depending on the command issued.

I have done a complete new install of Linux Mint 18.1 cinnamon, node 6.9.4 and npm 4.1.1 and so far everything looks O.K. Will continue to reinstall software and let you know if there are any problems.

[filipesilva]

@DouglasWebster I'm sorry you had such a bad experience, I think it was mostly a dependency thing where there were broken dependencies in global npm. I'm not sure how it got to that state though.. :/

Let me know if you have more problems and I will reopen.
