Unable to find any apps in `.angular-cli.json` error in angular6

I cloned an existing running Angular6 project on a new machine. When I tried to run the project in Intellij, I got the error Unable to find any apps in .angular-cli.json. I read in SO that in the filename has changed to angular.json. I can see angular.json in project. Then why am I getting this error and how can I solve it

I had wrong angular-cli version. It was 1.6.5. I installed angular-cli 6.0.7, then the build worked fine
