Issue

I'm trying to create a new Angular component with a very simple command line: "ng generate component MY-COMPONENT". But the error occurs: "More than one module matches. Use the skip-import option to skip importing the component into the closest module or use the module option to specify a module."

I'm using version "11.2.19" of angular CLI

Solution

I've seen this error happen when you have more than one "app.module" in the project.

You can try to solve it by adding the option "--skip-import" to the command, like this:

ng generate component MY-COMPONENT  --skip-import

But then you will have to add the "import" manually in the app-module
