Getting below error while creating component using ng g c my-component

'An unhandled exception occurred: catch clause variable is not an Error instance See "path-to-file\angular-errors.log" for further details.'

And file contains below stack trace: [error] AssertionError [ERR_ASSERTION]: catch clause variable is not an Error instance at assertIsError (C:\Users\sam\node_modules@angular\cli\src\utilities\error.js:16:26) at GenerateCommandModule.runSchematic (C:\Users\sam\node_modules@angular\cli\src\command-builder\schematics-command-module.js:311:43) at async GenerateCommandModule.handler (C:\Users\sam\node_modules@angular\cli\src\command-builder\command-module.js:109:24)

No luck even after updating angular cli

npm uninstall -g angular-cli
npm uninstall --save-dev angular-cli
npm cache verify
npm install -g @angular/cli@latest

below is my package.json file:

CodePudding user response：

I had the same issue.

I found that if the file is named with dots it gives error, for example: src/app/application.material.module.ts or src/app/application-material.module.ts

If you change the name to src/app/application-material-module.ts it works.

Regards!
