See original GitHub issue

Please provide us with the following information:

OS?

Windows 7, 8 or 10. Linux (which distribution). Mac OSX (Yosemite? El Capitan?)

Linux Mint 17.3 (based on Ubuntu 14.04)

Versions.

Please run ng --version. If there’s nothing outputted, please run in a Terminal: node --version and paste the result here:

angular-cli: 1.0.0-beta.26 node: 7.0.0 os: linux x64

Repro steps.

Was this an app that wasn’t created using the CLI? What change did you do on your code? etc.

cd ~/some/subdirectory/of/home ng new testproject

The log given by the failure.

Normally this include a stack trace and some more information.

No error messages. The CLI prints Project 'testproject' successfully created.

Mention any other details that might be useful.

Expected behavior: The project is created in a subdirectory of the current directory, for instance ~/some/subdirectory/of/home/testproject.

Actual behavior: The project is created directly in the home directory under ~/testproject. The current directory is empty.

@lestard you should also have a rogue package.json in your home directory. Deleting that should fully take care of the problem.
