Reusing App Name of Deleted App Not Allowed; "...already exists" #1133
Description
- OS?
Mac OSX El Capitan (10.11.5)
- Versions. Please run
ng --version.
angular-cli: 1.0.0-beta.6
node: 4.4.5
os: darwin x64npm is latest, at 3.9.6.
- Reproducible steps. Was this an app that wasn't created using the CLI? What change did you
do on your code? etc.- I had previously created a sample starter app name, e.g.-
ng new some-app - delete the entire project folder (one level above the generated 'some-app' by
angular-cli - create and change into a project folder (can be same or different name)
- run
ng new some-appagain - observe output of command, an error, `Directory 'some-app' already exists.'; no files are created
- I had previously created a sample starter app name, e.g.-
- The log given by the failure. Normally this include a stack trace and some
more information.
No log generated.
- Mention any other details that might be useful.
Is there some registry that is kept by angular-cli to keep track of app/project names on a system? I've tried uninstalling (globally, obviously) and reinstalling the angular-cli package to no avail.

This appears to be directly related to #1079 in that I apparently had a
package.jsonin my user directory. My project directory was a subdirectory of my user dir. It also managed to install and persist some "missing" apps to that location. I sadly neglected to check the contents of thepackage.json, but to my knowledge it was not there beforehand.I'm closing this as it appears to be covered by the above mentioned issue.
