Angular CLI: 8.0.1 Node: 12.3.1 OS: win32 x64 Angular: 8.0.0
When run
ng add @nguniversal/express-engine --clientProject {{Project Name}}
the the @nguniversal/express-engine package is added successfully, but not none of ssr files are created and I get the error:
"Client app Project Name not found."
please off the angular IVY form tsconfig.spec.json "angularCompilerOptions": { "enableIvy": false }
and also form tsconfig.app.json "angularCompilerOptions": { "enableIvy": false }
I ran into this same problem after I created an Angular 8 project and was getting the exact same
"Client app Project Name not found."
After a little frustration I eventually realized what I was doing wrong. Embarrassingly I was executing the ng add @nguniversal/express-engine --clientProject {projectName} command at the wrong level. My terminal was pointing to the src directory, but I should have been executing in the directory containing the package.json file. SoOo if anyone else is running into this, be sure to run the command at the same level in your directory that the package.json folder is in!
There's no Angular 8 support yet from @nguniversal/express-engine. You should wait until the package is ready before using Angular 8.
This is the issue you can track until it is sorted. https://github.com/angular/universal/issues/1176
Since Angular CLI v6 we can simple
ng add @nguniversal/express-engine --clientProject <yourProjectName>
