No such file or directory error on command 'ng-build'

Question

I am getting following error while trying to build project using 'Angular-cli'


D:\workspace\migration-project>ng build
ENOENT: no such file or directory, stat 'D:\workspace\migration-project\src\assets'
Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, stat 'D:\workspace\migration-project\src\assets'

And I actually don't have any assets directory or file in src. Not sure why it is asking for it.

OS: Windows 10
webpack: 2.1.0-beta.25
angular-cli: 1.0.0-beta.19-3 (locally & globally)
@angular & @angular/material : latest version
There is no install in npm install

Anyone faced similar issue? Any leads will be greatly helpful.

Update: Problem is with angular-cli. Issue was resolved after rolling back angular-cli to 1.0.0-beta.17

I solved the problem by manually creating the src/assets folder after updating to angular-cli version 1.0.0-beta.20-4

When you create a new project using the latest angular-cli:

ng new migration-project

a folder is created:

src/assets

with a file called .gitkeep

I haven't looked into why this folder is required, but everything is working again.
