Answer 1

This problem might arise due to version mismatch. To solve your problem you need to do following changes in your package.json file.

Step 1 : Go to package.json and modify "rxjs": "^6.0.0" to "rxjs": "6.0.0"

Step 2 Run npm install in your project.

There is no need to change the typescript version. (Mine: "typescript": "~2.7.2")

Edit: If you are using rxjs-compat then you also need to do following in order to fixed the issue. change the rxjs-compat version from "rxjs-compat": "^6.2.2" to "rxjs-compat": "6.2.2"

Hope this will help!

Answer 5

If you are using rxjs-compat then you also need to do following in order to fixed the issue. change the rxjs-compat version from

"rxjs-compat": "^6.2.2" 

to

"rxjs-compat": "6.2.2"

This works for me

Answer 6

I just needed to edit the file and add the semicolon at the final line after 0 as shown here:

Go to the path [project directory]/node_modules/rxjs/internal and open the file types.d.ts as administrator, move to the final of the file and add a semicolon.

Original code: export declare type ObservedValueOf<O> = O extends ObservableInput<infer T> ? T : never;

Modified code: export declare type ObservedValueOf<O> = O; extends ObservableInput<infer T> ? T : never;

Answer 7

Earlier, I used to fix the problem with @TheParam's answer but lately started using yarn. Sadly I could not find yarn equivalent of

nmp update

I tried using

yarn upgrade

(although it is not equivalent of above command afaik) and it did not help.

I instead used

yarn add [email protected]

and it worked. It took considerable time 82 sec as compared to few seconds in case of npm but fixed the issue. my node 8.11.2 and yarn 1.15.2

Answer 8

I had same problem

npm install [email protected]

Answer 9

Go to package.json and update "rxjs": "^6.0.0" to "rxjs": "6.0.0" after that do npm update

3. run npm install

This will work for you!

I had the same issue, the "rxjs": "^6.0.0" to "rxjs": "6.0.0" didn't work. I had to update my angular CLI to last stable npm install -g @angular/cli and regenerate the project again.

My config now is :

Angular CLI: 7.3.6
Node: 10.15.3
OS: win32 x64
Angular: 7.2.9
