Stop angular cli asking for collecting analytics when I use ng build

Question

Angluar CLI is asking the following question when I am trying to build and deploy my project using gitlab CI/CD:

> @angular/[email protected] postinstall /workspace/node_modules/@angular/cli  > node ./bin/postinstall/script.js    ? Would you like to share anonymous usage data with the Angular Team at Google u  nder  Google’s Privacy Policy at https://policies.google.com/privacy? For more details   and  how to change this setting, see http://angular.io/analytics. (y/N) 

Of course I cannot input anything in the CI/CD pipeline. How can I can prevent angular cli from asking this question?

Answer 1

I had the same problem: The new analytics feature of Angular CLI was blocking my CI: https://travis-ci.org/LVM-IT/lvo-logging-lib. Solution: set the environent variable NG_CLI_ANALYTICS equal to ci

export NG_CLI_ANALYTICS=ci 

see: https://github.com/LVM-IT/lvo-logging-lib/blob/329d014aa34dea49522f036e8d0b3aa3f71e33e7/.travis.yml#L16
