ng cli generate component with module broken

Question

I'm using the ng cli for the first time. I'm trying to make a new module ('foo') and a new component ('bar') under the foo module. Though, how I think I'm supposed to do it in ng cli doesn't seem to work:

mbp:my-new-app chris$ ng g m foo
installing module
create src/app/foo/foo.module.ts

mbp:my-new-app chris$ ng g c bar -m foo
installing component
create src/app/bar/bar.component.scss
create src/app/bar/bar.component.html
create src/app/bar/bar.component.spec.ts
create src/app/bar/bar.component.ts

EISDIR: illegal operation on a directory, read

Am I doing using this wrong? I haven't found documentation specifically on this feature.

Thanks!

instead of running

ng g c bar -m foo

try to run (without -m)

ng g c foo/bar

if you want to reference a module, which should export/import your new component, you should provide a relative path to this module, like:

ng g c bar -m foo/foo.module

in this case bar component will be imported/exported by foo.module, but located under src/app.

EASDIR error occurred because you provided a directory (foo) instead of file (foo/foo.module)

as answered for example here:

EISDIR means that the target of the operation is a directory in reality but that the expected filetype of the target is something other than a directory.
