This is not an Issue with Angular

If i change the project path to

/Users/carlfearby/Dropbox/Angular Projects/Framework

instead of

/Users/carlfearby/Dropbox (Personal)/Angular Projects/Framework

It seems to be some weird quirk with the way drop box has aliased the directory, as i have two dropboxes on my machine here at work for personal and corporate… I will close this issue now
