At this moment CLI got confused to on step to insert declarations inside a which module, because you have more than one module in your application. You could append skip-import flag at the end of command. But that will skip importing & declaring component inside module.

I'd recommend to specify the --module in command where your directive should get declared.

ng generate directive DirectiveName --module="your-module.module.ts"
