Repro steps.

Was this an app that wasn't created using the CLI? What change did you do on your code? etc.

Old app created using CLI doesn't start after CLI update and Angular update to v2.4.7
npm update --save

You can clone this sample-repo and update the app under folder input-output.

I've followed the steps on upgrading from the CLI site.

The log given by the failure.

Normally this include a stack trace and some more information.

Thanks! We'll be in touch soon.

i also face this issue try to install npm i --save @angular/compiler-cli and it works for me

@rajinder-yadav If I understand correctly your app was created with a previous version of angular-cli, and now you've updated the global angular-cli version.

This issue happened to me, I fixed it by updating my local version of the cli:

rm -rf node_modules dist # use rmdir on Windows
npm install --save-dev @angular/cli@latest
npm install
ng update

Good luck.

I have also problems on app build with previous version !
I try to do :

rm -rf node_modules dist # use rmdir on Windows
npm install --save-dev @angular/cli@latest
npm install
ng update

I am using Windows 10 (32bits)
node -v = v7.5.0
npm -v = 4.2.0
ng -v =

@bvaissade make sure you dont have angular-cli in devDependencies in your package.json, there should be only @angular/cli and then reinstall all packages with:

rm -rf node_modules
npm install

[rajinder-yadav]

OK I did the steps today on two older cli projects and things are working fine.

My initial issue has been resolved, I may have pooched something along the way last night!

To update CLI as well as update to Angular to 2.4.7 I did

rm -rf node_modules dist # use rmdir on Windows
npm install --save-dev @angular/cli@latest

npm update --save
npm update --save-dev
npm install

Closing as resolved.
