Desired functionality

my-app should have been created successfully.

Mention any other details that might be useful

I tried to follow previous bug-fixes by removing .npmrc file and cleaning npm-cache etc.But nothing worked. I keep getting same error every-time I try to generate a new app using the new angular-cli for 7 version.

This seems like a problem with your node/npm and not with Angular CLI.

Please have a look at the fixing npm permissions page, common errors page, npm issue tracker, or open a new issue in that issue tracker if the problem you are experiencing isn't known.

That said, have you tried to run npm rebuild

[anuramesh1]

@alan-agius4 Thanks for your response. Yes, I tried everything,

Updated the node to node: 10.13.0 --

Angular CLI: 7.0.4
Node: 10.13.0
OS: win32 x64

• I deleted npm-cache directory and retried again -- Got same error.

• I changed the NODE_HOME to a different dir and updated "path" and tried again. -- Got same error

-- npm rebuild is only on a specific project right? Since I don't have the project itself successfully created, I can't go that...

Bottom line - I can't successfully create a new angular 7 project with Node 10 or node 8. Is there any angular 7 starter/seed project?

I have no clue at this point. The following is the stractrace in npm-debug.log file.

I had the same problem. I removed the content of .npmrc, ran the generate command and it worked. After that you can restore the content of your .npmrc if needed.

[jphchen]

the solution above worked, but why is having a .npmrc in your user home causing "Maximum call stack size exceeded" ?

[Gouravraj]

I am also getting the same problem while creating a new app.Can anyone help me here how to resolve the issue

[KeithPepin]

What worked for me was what someone else mentioned above, I cleaned out the contents of my global .npmrc, ran the install, it worked, put back the contents of my .npmrc and everything was normal again. For what it is worth, the only things in my .npmrc were proxy settings required for my work place.
