Angular 8: "could not find implementation for builder" when running ng serve

Question

I just installed Angular 8. When I try to run a project with "ng serve --open" it gives me the following error:

Could not find the implementation for builder @angular-devkit/build-angular:dev-server

Answer 1

use this command

npm install --save-dev @angular-devkit/build-angular

Answer 2

If you are using Angular 8, you should ensure your Angular packages are safely updated to the current stable version by running the following command

ng update

Otherwise, you can try to manually update the @angular/cli and core framework package manually.

ng update @angular/cli @angular/core
