Yesterday I updated Angular Cli tool and tried to create new project but unfortunately an exception in the terminal window the only result I’ve got. Right now I am using MacOS Mojave version 10.14.5 and Angular Cli version is 8.0.1
The error stack trace:
Workspace needs to be loaded before it is used.
Error: Workspace needs to be loaded before it is used.

Finally I pushed myself read each message in that thread I took careful look at my home folder where was .angular-config.json file. This particular file was causing this error (even it was empty).
So, just removed .angular-config.json and ng new myApp got back to work!
