angular-cli.json missing (not hidden)

Question

I'm starting an Angular course and immediately I've noticed my angular-cli.json file is missing. I've tried Googling the issue, and the only responses I've found on Stack Overflow or anywhere else are saying that the file is hidden. I've looked at all my hidden files and it's still not there. I've created a new project and it's still not there.

I'm sort of at a loss on what to do. I don't want to just generate my own because I want to figure out why when I'm creating my new apps the file is never being created. I have an angular.json file, but it looks different than the one presented in the course.

I believe I'm running Angular 5 if that helps.

Answer 1

Angular-cli.json has been replaced with angular.json

You can check this in the release notes: Release notes for angular-cli

In order to follow the tutorial, i would recommend to switch to the cli version used in that tutorial, and switch to latest version later on once you have better understanding.
