Repro steps

• Update cli from 1.6.3 npm install @angular/cli@6.0.0
• Update node to 10 as only had 8.4 installed
• run ng update

Observed behavior

Blinking cursor. No output. I waited 5 minutes and nothing happened. Had to Ctrl + C to quit.

Desired behavior

Should execute the command or give an error message.

Mention any other details that might be useful (optional)

I can see lots of Node.js processes being created in task manager Is there a way to run more verbose output?

Hmmm actually it did eventually finish. Just took a really long time, like 10 minutes. I’ll leave this open for a little bit in case anyone wants to chime in.

@britvik The improved update logic is present in the latest version of the CLI until it is updated the old logic will be used so the behavior described would be expected.
