Repro steps

1. Create a new project using ng new
2. Edit the angular.json-File and add a Schematics-Configuration with the lintFix-Option:

	"schematics": {
		"@schematics/angular:component": {
			"lintFix": true
		}
	},

This Code can be inserted right before the projects-Node.

1. Add a fixable tslint-rule, which collides with the default schematics. Examples are:

	"linebreak-style": [
		true,
		"CRLF"
	],
	"quotemark": [
		true,
		"double"
	],

1. Create a component using ng generate component

The log given by the failure

ENOENT: no such file or directory, scandir 'C:\Users\User\Angular\project\src\app\src\app\test'

Note, that it looks for project\src\app\src\app\test instead of project\src\app\test

Desired functionality

I would expect, that the lintFix-Option fixes all lint errors in the newly generated component.ts and component.spec.ts files. However, those files still use “LF” instead of “CRLF” and they still have Single-quotes instead of Double-Quotes.

Mention any other details that might be useful

The lintFix-Option disappeared in angular/cli@6.0 as mentioned in #11034 and came back with #11648. It should be part of angular/cli@6.2.x and it is part of it’s schematics schema file

After noticing, that the lint-fixing seems to work for a colleague of mine, in the exact same project, we investigated a bit more. Here is what we found out:

• Executing ng g service core/x --project app1 at the project root works and fixes all lint-errors.
• Executing ng g service x inside apps/app1/src/app/core gives the mentioned error.

So it seems like the lint-fix only works, if the commands are executed at root-level. Hope this helps.
