[Solved] An unhandled exception occurred:catch clause variable is not an Error instance, ng g c my-component AngularJs CLI error

Problem:

While I am trying to creat component using ng g c my-component got the following error-

An unhandled exception occurred: catch clause variable is not an Error instance
AssertionError [ERR_ASSERTION]: catch clause variable is not an Error instance at assertIsError

I update angular cli but nothing changed.

Solution 1:

To solve this issue run this command:

ng g c modules/bla/component/example --skip-import 

It will create a new component with the name "example" in the folder modules/bla/component and it will also skip all the imports in the closest module.

Note: Add the component in the declations array in the linked module file.

Solution 2:

 If solution 1 is not working you can try by specifying the module in the ng g c... like this:

ng g c my-component --module=app.module
