Angular 9 "Error: This constructor was not compatible with Dependency Injection."

This weird error, that I don't remember seeing pre-Ivy, has popped up in the setup of a new app created with the latest Angular 9 CLI. Looks like it could be a bug with Ivy? Any ideas on how to fix would be greatly appreciated.

Error result from ng test

Error: This constructor was not compatible with Dependency Injection.

You set a Router as provider in your test. That's not the way to do that.

You should import the RouterTestingModule in your test to be able to access it.

beforeEach(async(() => {
  TestBed.configureTestingModule({
    imports: [RouterTestingModule],
    declarations: [AppComponent],
    providers: [AuthService],
  }).compileComponents();
}));
I guess with ivy and/or angular 9, they declared the `providedIn` from the router service in such a way that you cannot provide it in another module anymore (which you should never do anyways :))

Background info:

Looking at the source code, you can see they inject the router in a special way using a factory. The router class itself is just a normal class with no @Injectable() decorator.

Another source of this error (not related to the OP's question) can be when you have a constructor param with a default arg such as:

constructor(someProp: string = 'propVal') {
    this.someProp = someProp;
}

You can resolve it by doing this instead:
constructor(@Inject('propVal') @Optional() someProp: string) {
    this.someProp = someProp;
}

This error can also be produced if you accidentally try to inject an interface instead of a service, lol.

example.interface.ts

export interface ExampleInterface {
  id: string
}

example.service.ts

import { Injectable } from '@angular/core'

@Injectable({
  providedIn: 'root'
})
export class ExampleService {
  constructor() { }
}

dependent.service.ts

import { Injectable } from '@angular/core'

@Injectable({
  providedIn: 'root'
})
export class DependentService {
  constructor(
    private example: ExampleInterface // This is the error; should be ExampleService
  ) { }
}

If angular build was in --watch mode, try to restart it.
