I have migrated Angular from 15 to 16 but when I try to build the project it throws an error:

Index html failed

angular.json:

Is there any way to find the reason, why index.html is not generated?

ng build output:

ng build

try ng s --prod to debug,

There must be some error while building

I faced this issue before, and it was because of a corporate proxy.

From what I gathered, it looks like Node is performing some background HTTP task (like downloading something), and when behind a corporate proxy, it can fail, and fail the index generation.

Try exiting your proxy or VPN, see if the issue persists.

If you need to keep using your proxy/VPN and build your app, you will need to add your Nexus/Artifactory/NPM repo in your project with a .npmrc file.
