PowerShell script add '--prod' argument to build Angular CLI project

Question

I am creating PowerShell script to automatically build Angular CLI project. When I use this command in my .ps1 file:

Start-Process -FilePath ng build -WorkingDirectory D:pathToAngularProject -Wait

it works perfectly but create not uglified javascript build. To be able to create production build I need to add '--prod' argument. But when I change example above on :

Start-Process -FilePath ng build -ArgumentList '--prod' -WorkingDirectory D:pathToAngularProject -Wait

I am getting the error:

Does anyone have a suggestion how can I add an argument to 'ng build' command in PowerShell script?

Answer 1

Add build to the -argumentlist if it is an argument like:

Start-Process -FilePath ng -ArgumentList 'build', '--prod' -WorkingDirectory D:pathToAngularProject -Wait 

If it is part of the path quote it in the -path parameter because there are spaces:

Start-Process -FilePath "ng build" -ArgumentList '--prod' -WorkingDirectory D:pathToAngularProject -Wait
