TypeError: Cannot read property 'projectPath' of undefined

When I run the cli:

> amplify init  

from within a fresh npm created application, I get the error in the Subject of this post.

When I run amplify init in a fresh directory with no npm configuration (empty) and I examine the file amplify/.config/project-config.json it does not contain an entry for projectPath. However, when reviewing the documentation for the console application https://haverchuck.github.io/docs/cli/init?sdk=js about halfway down, the docs show a project-config.json file containing the entry: "projectPath": "/Users/kaustavg/test890".

It looks the version of the CLI I'm using (4.47.1) does not place an entry for projectPath in the project-config.json file either in a clean start or in a freshly created npm created application.

Or, there's something I'm doing wrong. Does anyone have any insight?

Thanks.

Andy

PS: here are the commands as executed in a fresh directory:

# Following tutorial: https://docs.amplify.aws/start/q/integration/angular  
npx -p @angular/cli@11.2.8 ng new amplify-app  
# edit polyfills.ts and add shims  
cd amplify-app  
amplify init  
# Error thrown  

Also, this:

mkdir tst-amp-init  
amplify init
