   It looks like #4207 is the same issue. If you set up the environment in your home directory, it fails. It's a common pattern in docker to put the app in the home directory.

   Changing the home directory seems to resolve the issue.

   I have tried the following option to resolve the issue
   Steps to resolve the issue

   $ pwd
   it shows —> /Users/YourName /*** That is your Home path***/
   Execute the below command to display the hidden files

   $ defaults write com.apple.Finder AppleShowAllFiles true
   $ killall Finder
   After executing the above command you will see the hidden files.
   if “.angular-cli.json” file exist under “/Users/yourname” (i.e Home Path) then remove “.angular-cli.json” file.

   then navigate to your application path and try execute ‘ng’ command.

   I had the same issue. I just deleted the .angular-cli.json file from my user directory and it resolved the issue.

   To resolve this issue in Ubuntu, follow the below steps

   1. cd /home/userName (provide the appropriate userName.)
   2. ls -a
   3. If you find .angular-cli.json. listed then use the command
      rm -r .angular*
