Module build failed: TypeError: Cannot read property 'newLine' of undefined

Question

Everything was running fine yesterday, now when I try to ng serve I get these errors:

ERROR in ./src/main.ts Module build failed: TypeError: Cannot read property 'newLine' of undefined at Object.getNewLineCharacter (/Users/leongaban/Projects/TickerTags/wikitags/node_modules/typescript/lib/typescript.js:8062:20)

I tried the answers here and here but no effect :(

My global and local npm version for angular-cli is 1.0.0-beta.28.3 how do I upgrade that to .30? I tried @latest

My local package.json:

"devDependencies": {
    "@angular/cli": "1.0.0-beta.28.3",
    "@angular/compiler-cli": "^2.4.0",

---

My global package:

I see that the latest is beta.32 https://github.com/angular/angular-cli/releases

However when I run npm install -g angular-cli@latest it still installs .28.3

Answer 1

OS : Windows with Angular 4

"@angular/cli": "1.2.1"

"@angular/material": "2.0.0-beta.6"

I just removed the caret from above two dependencies and performed following steps, everything started working perfectly.

1. Remove node_module
2. Uninstall angular cli from local and global
3. Install the same version of angular cli in both
4. Do "npm install"
5. "ng serve"

Answer 2

In package.json I changed:

"devDependencies": {
   "@angular/cli": "1.0.0"

To:

"devDependencies": {
   "@angular/cli": "1.2.0"
