Today I faced the same issue. None of the above answers worked except a comment from one @Nasreen Ustad. So what you have to do is:

1. Go to package.json and modify "rxjs": "^6.0.0" to "rxjs": "6.0.0"
2. Run npm update in your project

No need to change typescript version.(Mine: "typescript": "~2.7.2")

Answer 3

Seems like your Angular and/or rxjs version is not compatible with TypeScript.

Remove the ~ sign in the TypeScript version, add ^ instead. Then, install packages again.

Try running npm start and ng build prior to ng serve.

Answer 4

I had the same issue. I investigated that rxjs released a new version: 6.4.0. And it broke the build. According to review, the minimum supported version of TypeScript is 2.8. If you don't want to update TypeScript version, just change "rxjs": "^6.0.0", to "rxjs": "6.3.3" in package.json.

Answer 5

Check your typescript version with below command.

~ tsc --version Version 3.3.3

As this is the latest typescript version, I've upgraded the project angular version to 7 by running below command in project home folder. It solved the issue.

~]# ng update @angular/cli @angular/core

Answer 6

Step 1 : Go to package.json and modify "rxjs": "^6.0.0" to "rxjs": "6.0.0"

Step 2 Run npm update in your project.
