error with generating new component by angular-cli

Trying generate new angular component by follow command: $ ng g c sidebar I got error message: Error: Could not find an NgModule for the new component. Use the skip-import option to skip importing components in NgModule. Could not find an NgModule for the new component. Use the skip-import option to skip importing components in NgModule.

When I try generate new component without import ( -skip-import option) new component added with wrong path: $ ng g c sidebar -skip-import create src/main/webapp/src/main/webapp/app/sidebar/sidebar.component.html (26 bytes) create src/main/webapp/src/main/webapp/app/sidebar/sidebar.component.ts (245 bytes)

If you are working in your current project directory, just change it to /src/app and then run the command ‘ng g c your-component’ and your component will be generated. It worked for me.

It looks you are not in the right directory -> in which directory do you run those commands?
