Permission errors after Starting 'test:client'

Generated a generic test project (no Auth or DB - and unedited) using yo angular-fullstack then ran npm test. Got some permission errors just after Starting 'test:client' that are odd...

[00:20:55] Starting 'test:client'...
{ Error: EACCES: permission denied, mkdir '/client'
at Error (native)

cause:
{ Error: EACCES: permission denied, mkdir '/client'
at Error (native)
errno: -13, code: 'EACCES', syscall: 'mkdir', path: '/client' },
isOperational: true,
errno: -13,
code: 'EACCES',
syscall: 'mkdir',
path: '/client' }

This is happening just before Karma starts so I think the generated webpack.make.js is trying to create /client (off of root) instead of using the base directory where the project is.

Is this happening for anyone else?

I see this also on a fresh generation, build, test.... (plus 11 warnings from eslint that I fixed first)

• Ubuntu 16.10
• generatorVersion: 4.1.1
• typeScript, mongoose, html, sass, ngroute, bootstrap, socketio, uibootstrap, mocha, jasmine, expect

Running 'gulp test' shows:

and then hangs... in the terminal. So it seems that things are a bit out of date??? perhaps.
And it seems that these messages are coming from a test process that is running in background and doesn't get destroyed.

BUT I will continue to work on moving a large project built from yo last year to the most recent structure.

Apologies for this guys, I thought I had pushed this fix. This is the fix:

webpack.make.js

    // Skip rendering index.html in test mode
    // Reference: https://github.com/ampedandwired/html-webpack-plugin
    // Render index.html
    if(!TEST) {
        let htmlConfig = {
            template: 'client/_index.html',
            filename: '../client/index.html',
            alwaysWriteToDisk: true
        }
        config.plugins.push(
          new HtmlWebpackPlugin(htmlConfig),
          new HtmlWebpackHarddiskPlugin()
        );
    }
