Was working fine with before angular cli 1.7.x. Updated my cli and I'm completely struck now. couldnt even find any articles to go back from 6.x to 1.7.x

See #10880. Your angular.json is probably not valid json.

my angular.json looks fine. just linted with jsonlint.

I'm not sure what happened but an npm update fixed it! I was able to generate my pipe with cli.

I'm not too sure what happened here either, but happy to hear it's not a problem anymore.
