Angular error: newTree.optimize is not a function

Question

I recently started getting this error when attempting to create a new component using the angular CLI:

newTree.optimize is not a function

the issued command was:

ng g c test

Googling return only articles from Angular CLI v6.x I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling Angular globally with no luck. Here is my current versioning:

has anyone else found a fix for this?

Thank you!

Answer 1

After I upgraded to angular 9, I had 2 packages that were both still at version 0.6.8, They were:

@schematics/[email protected]
@angular-devkit/[email protected]

For whatever reason, they were not upgraded and it resulted in this error.

Answer 2

The answer above was correct for me but I thought I'd expand on it, in case anyone else runs into the same issue...

@schematics/angular
@angular-devkit/schematics
@angular-devkit/core

were all on 0.6.8. Running the following resolved my issue:

npm install @schematics/angular
npm install @angular-devkit/schematics
npm install @angular-devkit/core

I hope this helps :)
