Research direction

Reproduce the reported ng generate class Test command in the Angular CLI 16.1.0 environment described and inspect the schematic validation error requiring project. Compare the failing project's setup with the working project; done means class generation succeeds without the schema error.

Description

Hi

We have two projects that use Angular and Angular CLI. After we've upgraded both projects to Angular 16.x we can't use schematics for one of the projects (second project is fine).
We tried to clear node_modules or cache folders but it didn't help.

Minimal Reproduction

Any time we try to use schematics we always receive an error:

ng generate class Test

Exception or Error
Schematic input does not validate against the Schema: {"name":"Test","path":"src/app/model"}
Errors:

  Data path "" must have required property 'project'.
