Angular - Performance Optimization

After running ng build --stats-json, you cannot find the stats.json file. What is the most probable reason?

AYou forgot to install <code>source-map-explorer</code>

BThe build output directory was changed, so the file is in a different folder

CThe Angular CLI version does not support <code>--stats-json</code>

DThe <code>ng build</code> command failed silently

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

The stats.json file is generated inside the build output folder, which can be customized via --output-path.

If the output path was changed, the file will not be in the default dist/ folder but in the specified directory.
Final Answer:
The build output directory was changed -> Option B
