ng generate wrong path

[probert94]

Since some time I am using nrwl/nx to manage multiple apps in an Angular-CLI project.
The nrwl/nx extends Angular-CLI with new schematics and a little different project strukture, which separates apps and libs (shared modules and code).
The structure of a project looks like this:

- apps
-- app1
--- e2e
--- src
-- app2
--- e2e
--- src
- libs
-- lib1

However, I noticed, that when I generate a new app using ng generate app app2, it generates the following structure:

- apps
-- app1
--- e2e
--- src
-- app2
--- e2e
--- apps
---- app1
----- src
- libs
-- lib1

I have been searching for this issue in nrwl/nx and I found a few related Issues:
nrwl/nx#131
nrwl/nx#140

However they all point to #7960 which already is closed, so thats why I opened a new Issue.

Versions

Angular CLI: 1.6.6
Node: 8.5.0
OS: win32 x64
Angular: 5.2.2
... animations, common, compiler, compiler-cli, core, forms
... language-service, platform-browser, platform-browser-dynamic
... router

@angular/cdk: 5.1.0
@angular/cli: 1.6.6
@angular/flex-layout: 2.0.0-beta.12
@angular/material: 5.1.0
@angular-devkit/build-optimizer: 0.0.42
@angular-devkit/core: 0.0.29

@ngtools/webpack: 1.9.6
@schematics/angular: 0.1.17

Repro steps

• Create a new Angular-CLI project (ng new demo)
• Navigate into the project (cd .\demo\)
• Install @nrwl/schematics as a devDependency (npm i -D @nrwl/schematics)
• Convert the project into a @nrwl/nx workspace using ng g workspace demo --collection=@nrwl/schematics
• Remove @angular/cli "file" from dependencies in "package.json" (version 1.6.6 is used in the devDependencies)
• Run npm i -D @angular-devkit/[email protected] (see Creating new component shows error:TypeError: core_1.PriorityQueue is not a constructor #9374 for more details)
• Run npm install to add additional dependencies
• Generate a new app using ng g app demo2

  create apps/demo2/apps/demo/src/app/app.component.css (0 bytes)
  update .angular-cli.json (2448 bytes)

Note that the src of the newly generated app lies under apps/demo2/apps/demo instead of apps/demo2.

Desired behavior

The src of the newly generated app should be in apps/demo2, so that the structure is the same as in the first app.

Mention any other details that might be useful (optional)

If you don't execute step 5 (Remove angular/cli "file" from dependencies in "package.json") it is using the @angular/cli version 1.6.0 from the .angular_cli.tgz-File. With this version, everything seems to work just fine.
So I guess the bug has been introduced in one of the last versions.

I'm sorry, but this is an issue you have to bring up with the https://github.com/nrwl/nx folks. If part of the the reproduction steps include converting the project to the Nx setup then it really sounds like it's an integration thing. Maybe their setup doesn't support the latest CLI versions.

Happy to take a look again if you can provide a repro that doesn't need modifications like Nx.
