Angular: Cannot find environment file-CodePudding

I followed several tutorials and they all say at some point "now go to src/environments". But that folder just does not exist in my project! I tried to delete the whole project and recreate it, but it doesn't help.

This is how I do it. Open cmd and then:

1. cd my_path
2. npm install -g @angular/cli
3. ng new webversion
   --> Angular routing? Yes
   --> Stylesheet: CSS
4. cd webversion
5. npm install bootstrap
6. npm install firebase @angular/fire

Now the tutorials start using src/environments. But I just do not have that folder. This is my angular.json:

{

                  "maximumError": "4kb"

        },
        "extract-i18n": {
          "builder": "@angular-devkit/build-angular:extract-i18n",
          "options": {

          }
        },
        "test": {
          "builder": "@angular-devkit/build-angular:karma",
          "options": {
            "polyfills": [
              "zone.js",
              "zone.js/testing"
            ],
            "tsConfig": "tsconfig.spec.json",
            "assets": [
              "src/favicon.ico",
              "src/assets"
            ],
            "styles": [
              "src/styles.css"
            ],
            "scripts": []
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

According to the tutorials tt should contain a "reference" to the environment folder, and a file replacement info about which files are going to be replaced in production mode. But it doesn't have either of that...

What am I missing? I followed multiple tutorials, multiple times each, step by step... I'm wasting hours already on this environment thing... Thanks a lot!

CodePudding user response：

You'll have to create your environment files manually.

See Configure Environment Specific Defaults

This was removed from Angular 15 CLI in order to simplify the minimal app created via ng new in the new standalone world. The reason they did this is that it should be really simple to create and bootstrap a single component with minimal additional files. It does mean older tutorials may be out of date.

Create environments directory
Create your custom environments
- environment.ts
- environment.prod.ts
- environment.staging.ts etc.

If you need additional configurations, duplicate the production one and rename.
