NullInjectorError: No provider for HighContrastModeDetector

Question

I am using Angular 8 for my project, using Node Version 10.15.3( had tried with other versions including latest 12.31.1). This works fine on MAC but while running on the Windows it stops on the browser with the error

NullInjectorError: "StaticInjectorError(AppModule)[MatCommonModule -> HighContrastModeDetector]: 
  StaticInjectorError(Platform: core)[MatCommonModule -> HighContrastModeDetector]: 
    NullInjectorError: No provider for HighContrastModeDetector!"

Is this related to my hardware (how does it is related)?

Answer 1

The issue is not related Node version. Its due to incompatible Angular Material and Angular versions. For angular 8, you need angular material version 8.2.3. Run below command from your project root directory.

npm i --save @angular/[email protected] @angular/[email protected]

For steps to find out compatible angular and angular material version see ans to this SO post.

Answer 2

In my case, @angular/cdk version was causing the error.

Setting it from github:angular/cdk-builds to ^8.1.4 on package.json and then running a npm install solved the problem
