ERROR in error TS6053: main.ts not found.

[cyluxx]

Describe the bug I tried to migrate an Angular web project, but when I ng serve the application, I get the following error: ERROR in error TS6053: File '-path-to-project-/what-the-song/src/src/main.ts' not found. error TS6053: File '-path-to-project-/what-the-song/src/src/polyfills.ts' not found.

Clearly, the path is not correct! There is an unnecessary src. The debug option -o does not print more information. Am I doing something wrong or is this a bug? I don't know where to look at to fix the path.

To Reproduce I followed the instructions on the migration documentation.

1. installed nativeScript CLI
2. upgraded angular CLI
3. added schematics to the project with ng add @nativescript/schematics
4. ng serve to test if the web project works

Environment after schematics install

I had the same problem. I solved it going into tsconfig.app.json and changing the path under the file section to: It orginally had src/ in front of it and somewhere else it already adds this src/. Also have a look at this stackoverflow post: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/49091956/angular5-polyfills-ts-main-ts-is-missing-from-the-typescript-compilation
