Desired functionality

why I run ng test it hint requires to be run in and ng new it hint requires to be run outside

I came across the same error. The reason is that new angular cli update makes angular-cli.json redundant, and it is replaced with angular.json instead. My previous Angular Cli version is 1.7.4, so to make the change, I ran the following command, it will make the conversion for you:

ng update @angular/cli --migrate-only --from=1.7.4
