Locally installed CLI beta.31 is not initializing the project ('ng init' failed)

[kuncevic]

As per this pull request 761e86f CLI should be able to run without global install.
There was no issues with that until beta.31

OS?

Windows 7

Versions.

My project local CLI, npm run ng -- -v:

@angular/cli: 1.0.0-beta.31
node: 6.9.2
os: win32 x64
@angular/cli: 1.0.0-beta.31

Repro steps.

• npm init -y
• alter package.json by adding "ng":"ng" in to scripts (761e86f).
• install @angular/cli --save
• npm run ng -- init

The log given by the failure.

c:\Projects\my-app>npm run ng -- init

> [email protected] ng c:\Projects\my-app
> ng "init"

Working with locally installed beta.30 and below.

Duplicate of #4653 / #4584.

@Meligy Yeah i c, in my case I am initializing just fresh project having package.json like that:

{
  "name": "my-app",
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "description": "",
  "main": "index.js",
  "scripts": {
    "ng": "ng"
  },
}

having just single file in my project folder which is package.json.
If it is makes any difference

[Meligy]

I'm afraid it doesn't matter. The command was broken in beta.31, and now it's removed in master. It won't be there in v1.0 final, and will not exist again until it's rewritten for v2.0.

[kuncevic]

So i c PR #4628 that removing init and update.
But how would you initialize a new CLI app without having CLI globally installed? It is seams to be impossible now.

[Meligy]

At the moment you'll have to download the CLI to another folder different from the new project folder and use it.

At least until something happens with #4762 and it gets opened / superseded with something.
