Ng serve throwing @angular/core/core has no exported member 'eeFactoryDef'

Im getting like 50 errors that all say that angular/core/core has no exported member 'eeFactoryDef'.

They come from different node_modules, for example angular/cdk, ng-bootstrap, ngx-pipes, ng2-dragula and some more. I didn't find anything from google either.

../node_modules/@angular/cdk/drag-drop/typings/directives/drag-handle.d.ts:23:33 - error TS2694: Namespace '"/Users/heikopiirme/Documents/realNewClient/client/node_modules/@angular/core/core"' has no exported member 'ɵɵFactoryDef'.

23     static ngFactoryDef: ɵngcc0.ɵɵFactoryDef<CdkDragHandle>;

Couldn't find any information on google for some reason.

Solution 1:

I ran into this after updating some packages (including Angular from 8 to 9), then downgrading again.

The solution was to nuke the node_modules folder and then do a fresh npm install.

Solution 2:

I'm getting the same error. I'm using Angular 9.7.1, I first tried to delete the node_modules and npm install but it didn't work so I finally fixed it adding this to the tsconfig.json:

"compilerOptions":{
 [...]
 "paths": {
      "@angular/*": ["./node_modules/@angular/*"]
    }
}

Solution 3:

In addition to the reasons/solutions previously shared, another reason this could happen is if npm packages are incompatible with your current Angular version.

For example, I got these after running npm i primeng. NPM installed the most recent version (v12), but I was only running ng11.

In my case, the solution was to upgrade Angular, but another solution would be to downgrade the npm package.
