Repro steps.

  create src/app/modules/admin/admin.module.ts (189 bytes)

  Specified module does not exist
15:38 $ ng g c components/cookie -m modules/admin/admin.module.ts

  Specified module does not exist
15:39 $ ng g c components/cookie -m src/app/modules/admin/admin.module.ts
  Error: Specified module does not exist
  Specified module does not exist

As you can see I am trying to add a component to a module instead of the default app.module.ts, but since a recent update it doesn't seem to let me, any more.
ng g c components/cookie -m modules/admin // this used to work :(

The log given by the failure.

Desired functionality.

Mention any other details that might be useful.

Same issue. Any fix?

I held back my version and then updating it now to the latest seemed to fix the issue
