I also received this error when I named one of my component inputs  formControl   Probably it s reserved for something else  If you want to pass FormControl object between components  use it like that   Input   control  FormControl   not like this   Input   formControl  FormControl   Weird - but working

I was getting this error message in my Unit tests with Jasmine  I added ngDefaultControl attribute to the custom element in my case it was an angular material slide toggle  and this resolves the error    lt mat-slide-toggle formControlName  extraCheese  gt    Extra Cheese  lt  mat-slide-toggle gt    Change the above element to include ngDefaultControl atttribute   lt mat-slide-toggle ngDefaultControl formControlName  extraCheese  gt   Extra Cheese  lt  mat-slide-toggle gt

In my case  I had inserted   ngModel   on label rather than input  There is also a caveat  I tried running after correctly the above error in the specified line but the error wouldn t go  If there are other places where you have committed the same mistake  it still throws you the same error at the same line

I had the same error  but in my case apparently it was a synchronization issue  at the moment of render the components html   I followed some of the solutions proposed on this page but any of them worked for me  at least not completely    What did actually solve my error was to write the below code snippet inside the father html tag of the elements    I was binding to the variable   Code        ngIf  variable-name    The error was caused  apparently by the project trying to render the page  apparently at the moment of evaluating the variable  the project just could no find its value  With the above code snippet you make sure that before rendering the page you ask if the variable has being initialized   This is my component ts code   import   Component  OnInit   from   angular core   import   InvitationService   from  src app service invitation service   import   BusinessService   from  src app service business service   import   Invitation   from  src app  models invitation   import   forEach   from   angular router src utils collection     Component     selector   app-invitation-details     templateUrl     invitation-details component html     styleUrls      invitation-details component scss      export class InvitationDetailsComponent implements OnInit     invitationsList  any    currentInvitation  any    business  any    invitationId  number    invitation  Invitation     constructor private InvitationService  InvitationService  private BusinessService   BusinessService     this invitationId   1    prueba temporal con invitacion 1 this getInvitations    this getInvitationById this invitationId           ngOnInit             getInvitations         this InvitationService getAllInvitation   subscribe result   gt          this invitationsList   result        console log result          error   gt          console log JSON stringify error                   getInvitationById invitationId number       this InvitationService getInvitationById invitationId  subscribe result   gt          this currentInvitation   result        console log result           this business this currentInvitation  business             console log this currentInvitation  business              error   gt         console log JSON stringify error                            Here is my html markup    lt div class  container-fluid mt--7  gt     lt div class  row  gt       lt div class  container col-xl-10 col-lg-8  gt         lt div class  card card-stats   gt           lt div class  card-body container-fluid form-check-inline             ngIf  currentInvitation  gt             lt div class  col-4  gt                     I hope this can be helpful

In my case  the error was triggered by duplicating an import of a component in the module

User · Answer

This error also occurs if you try to add ngModel to the non-input elements like  lt option gt  HTML tags  Make sure you add ngModel only to the  lt input gt  tags  In my case  I have added a ngModel to the  lt ion-select-option gt  instead of  lt ion-select gt

User · Answer

Have you tried moving your   ngModel   to the div instead of the switch in your HTML  I had the same error appear in my code and it was because I bound the model to a  lt mat-option gt  instead of a  lt mat-select gt   Though I am not using form control
