I suspect this might have the same root cause of #26379

Can you kindly try to update node_modules/@angular-devkit/build-angular/src/builders/application/options.js with the contents in https://gist.github.com/alan-agius4/7dcb48c5adccb1f2fb54cfbef3403689 and see if it solves the problem?

Is still still a problem with 17.0.5?

[alan-agius4]

Closing due to the lack of confirmation.

[mcalmus]

@alan-agius4 I'm sorry I didn't respond sooner. I have been unable to test with 17.0.5, but it continued to fail using the file from the gist. I will test with 17.0.5 as soon as our workplace NPM mirror has been updated.

[mcalmus]

Verified this as fixed in 17.0.5.

[alan-agius4]

Glad to hear that.
