In my case downgrading  angular animations worked  if you can afford to do that  run the command   npm i  angular animations 6 1 10   Or use another version that might work for you from the Versions tab here  https   www npmjs com package  angular animations

I had this same issue  and these 2 commands saved my life  My underlying problem is that I am always messing up with global install and local install  Maybe you are facing a similar issue  and hopefully running these commands will solve your problem too   ng update --next  angular cli --force npm install typescript latest

Looks like you have recently installed flex-layout package  Try removing this package folder from your node modules folder and reinstalling previous version of this package   Recently  2 days before current date   angular released latest angular-cli version  v9 0 1  due to which many packages are updated to support this latest cli version  In your case you might have old cli version and when you installed this package it was downloaded for latest cli version by default  So try downgrading your package version  Worked for me atleast   Also  dont forget to downgrade the version of your package in package json file

I ve updated typescript and tslint versions and removed packages I wasn t using  This solved the problem for me  As others pointed here  it seems to be an issue with different TypeScript versions where the generated typings from some library aren t compatible with your TypeScript version

In my case  mismatch of version of two libraries   I am using angular 7 0 0 and installed     swimlane ngx-dnd     8 0 0    and this caused the problem  Reverting this library to     swimlane ngx-dnd    6 0 0    worked for me

I had this error when i deleted several components while the server was on after running the ng serve command   Although i deleted the references from the routes component and module  it didnt solve the problem  Then i followed these steps   Ended the server Restored those files Ran the ng serve command  at this point it solved the error  Ended the server Deleted the components which previously led to the error Ran the ng serve command  At this point no error as well

I think that your problem was emerged from typescript and module version mismatch This issue is very similar to your question and answers are very satisfying

If it s just a library that s causing this  this will avoid the problem just fine  Typescript can be a pain on the neck sometimes so set this value on your tsconfig json file   quot compilerOptions quot          quot skipLibCheck quot   true

I got the same issue when adding  angular flex-layout to my Angular 8 project now with    npm install  angular flex-layout --save     This since now that command installed the major 9th version of the flex-layout package  Instead of upgrading everything else to the last version  I solved it by installing the last 8th major version of the package instead    npm install  angular flex-layout 8 0 0-beta 27 --save
