Angular CLI - You have to be inside an angular-cli project in order to use the build command

After creating an Angular application using the following Angular CLI command;

ng new appname

You should open the newly created appname folder before invoking any other ng command. Otherwise you get the following error message:

You have to be inside an angular-cli project in order to use the <commandname> command

Unfortunately I got the same error after pulling an Angular project created by a colleague from our GIT repo. Although I was certainly in the correct folder, I saw the above error again Sad smile.

Turned out that the Angular project was created using a newer version of the Angular CLI. After updating to the latest version of the @angular/cli package the problem disappeared.

Remark: Here are the steps to correctly update Angular CLI: https://github.com/angular/angular-cli#updating-angular-cli

Help! I accidently enabled HSTS–on localhost

But when I tried to run an Angular app a little bit later on http://localhost:4200 the browser redirected me immediately to https://localhost . Whoops! That was not what I wanted in this case. To fix it, you need to go the network settings of your browser, there are available at: chrome://net-internals/#hsts edge://net-internals/#hsts brave://net-internals/#hsts Enter ‘localhost’ in the domain textbox under the Delete domain security policies section and hit Delete . That should do the trick…
