Node.js v16 will be entering an LTS state prior to the release of Angular v13 which allows Node.js v16 to be marked as officially supported by the Angular CLI. The initial bootstrapping check now adds Node.js v16 to the output message in the event of an unsupported Node.js version.
NOTE: Prior to the final v13 release, the Node.js v16 minor should be updated to the actual LTS version once available.
To support the eventual conversion of the `@angular/cli` package to ESM, the usage of the global require function must be removed as it is not supported in ESM code. Node.js does have the facility to create custom require functions that can be used when the need to synchronously load a file at runtime is required. Such cases have now been converted to use custom require functions where appropriate.
Unsupported versions of Node.js will now show an unsupported warning when the `ng version` command is executed.
Currently Node.js major versions 12 and 14 are considered supported and tested.
Closes#20879
Previously, the workspace configuration file was found and loaded by individual commands potentially multiple times. This change moves the initial workspace location discovery and loading of the workspace to the CLI startup. It also provides the workspace to each command so that the commands can reuse the already loaded and parsed workspace configuration.
This change removes all direct usage of the `node_modules` directory from the version command. This provides improved support for yarn PnP as well as prevents a crash when a workspace does not have a `node_modules` directory.
Fixes#10474
When testing a local CLI build with `npm link @angular/cli`, if you run `ng version`,
you currently see:
Angular CLI: local (v8.1.0-beta.2+24.3bb67d8.with-local-changes, branch: version)
if the Git branch is `fix/version`.
Whit this PR, `ng version` now displays the proper Git branch name:
Angular CLI: local (v8.1.0-beta.2+24.3bb67d8.with-local-changes, branch: fix/version)
