Build Error - ENOENT: no such file or directory (for @angular scope)

Type of Issue

[x ] Bug Report
[ ] Feature Request

Description

When running the tool I encounter a file not found error. It’s looking for a packages directory under the @angular scope that doesn’t exist. I don’t see what’s triggering it to look there.

How To Reproduce

Create a ‘Hello World’ application using @angular-cli and @angular/material libraries. Run the ng-packagr command.

@angular/cli : https://cli.angular.io/ @angular/material : https://material.angular.io/guide/getting-started

Thanks @DavidParks8 for the reference.

Following the suggestion on the thread to list it as an external dependency the ng-package.json lib section allowed me to package even while using @angular/material@2.0.0-beta.12 since it doesn’t try to include it in the bundle.

{
  "lib": {
    "entryFile": ...,
    "externals": {
      "@angular/material": "ng.material"
    }
}

@denver-HJS’s solution worked for me with angular 5.1.3 (requested ^5.0.0)
