ng-serve command opens editor

Issue

I set up a fresh angular-app and try to serve it with

ng serve --watch

instead of serving the app a file-editor opens. Why does that happen? How can I resolve this?

this is the editor that shows

Serving with

npm start

works fine

Solution

I was able to resolve this by

• unistalling the editor that took the ng-alias
• uninstalling angular-cli
• reinstalling angular-cli
• manually adding the angular-cli alias
