Angular build error on Azure DevOps with powershell script

Question

I prepared a powershell script in azure devops build pipeline to create an artifact, but when I start build queue, I get an error which is below.

The build command requires to be run in an Angular project, but a project definition could not be found.

Can someone help me please.

Powershell script:

npm install

npm install -g typescript

npm install -g @angular/cli

ng build --configuration=production

This is all the result of powershell script:

Can you please confirm that your repository is getting cloned during build process ? A common build logs of angular cli project : 1) Prepare job 2) Initialize job 3) Checkout 4) Use Node 10.15.3 5) npm install packages 6) npm build — Nirav Mistry

The problem was file path of Angular project like Shayki Abramczyk said, who comments to my question. When I push my branch to Azure Devops, They create a directory with the name of the project but I thought that Powershell script would work in angular project, however I was wrong. Thanks. — sapfile

As the error said, you try to run ng build not in the project folder.

You need to run cd path/to/project-folder before.

Another option, in the Azure DevOps PowerShell task there is a option to specify "Working Directory" so enter there the project path.
