Answer 1

Version 0.1.13 of angular2-in-memory-web-api had some breaking changes and it looks like the tutorial has not been updated yet.

According to the changelog:

In systemjs.config.js you should change the mapping to:

'angular-in-memory-web-api': 'npm:angular-in-memory-web-api/bundles/in-memory-web-api.umd.js'

then delete from packages:

'angular-in-memory-web-api': {
main: './index.js',
defaultExtension: 'js'
}

Link to the chang https://github.com/angular/in-memory-web-api/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md#0113-2016-10-20

An issue has also been filed https://github.com/angular/in-memory-web-api/issues/58

It says to update app.module.ts by changing

import { InMemoryWebApiModule } from 'angular-in-memory-web-api/in-memory-web-api.module';

to

import { InMemoryWebApiModule } from 'angular-in-memory-web-api';

Answer 2

Even after I tried everything mentioned before I still got this error:

"originalStack": "Error: (SystemJS) XHR error (404 Not Found) loading node_modules/angular-in-memory-web-api/bundles/in-memory-web-api.umd.js\n\tError: XHR error (404 Not Found) loading node_modules/angular-in-memory-web-api/bundles/in-memory-web-api.umd.js\n\t at XMLHttpRequest.wrapFn [as _onreadystatechange] (node_modules/zone.js/dist/zone.js:889:29) [<root>]\n\t at Zone.runTask (node_modules/zone.js/dist/zone.js:151:47) [<root> => <root>]

Then I realized, that it only occurs during tests with karma (no ... I do not try start the server if tests fail).

This worked for me:

• systemjs.config.js as described by others here (and meanwhile fixed in original sample code): 'angular-in-memory-web-api': 'npm:angular-in-memory-web-api/bundles/in-memory-web-api.umd.js',

• karma.conf.js: files: [ (...) 'node_modules/angular-in-memory-web-api/bundles/in-memory-web-api.umd.js', (...) { pattern: 'node_modules/angular-in-memory-web-api/**/*.js', included: false, watched: false }, ]

additional I had to set a provider for { provide: APP_BASE_HREF, useValue: "/" } because karma doesn't use the index.html

finally all tests passed and I can do my "npm start" :-)
