Mention any other details that might be useful.

Like ng build -op dist, I would expect the ng e2e to put files in given folder. Which is also mentioned in the ng help

Thanks for awesome product! :)

Edit
It seems that ng e2e actually delete the dist folder (dist id default from angular-cli.json).

    ng e2e leverages the ng serve command functionality which builds and serves the app from memory.

    @clydin Ok, but why does it then delete the dist folder when starting?
    Simple repro:

    ng init
    ng build 
    // At this point at dist folder exist
    ng e2e
    // At this point the dist folder is gone

    That behavior of ng serve (which also applies to e2e) was added recently: #4293

    @clydin I see, so it is by design :) Thanks! :)

    From a build server point of view, it would be nice if I could do one build only, run e2e and have the dist folder. Currently we have to run e2e before build because of the deletion of the folder and we have to build the app twice because of that :)
