From my point of view the CLI you are using and the libraries are mismatched  The ionic CLI version 1 cannot build libraries for ionic CLI version 4  The best solution is to try upgrade your CLI version  You can otherwise use nvm which allows you to run multiple node versions on the same O S  This can help you use different ionic CLI versions across different projects depending on the requirements   Check out nvm    Their official windows repo  There is also a MAC and Linux version

I was facing this issue in my angular 5 application today  And the fix which helped me  was simple  I added  moduleResolution    node  to the compilerOptions in the tsconfig json file  My complete tsconfig json file content is below         compileOnSave   false       compilerOptions          baseUrl              outDir      dist out-tsc        sourceMap   true       declaration   false       moduleResolution    node        emitDecoratorMetadata   true       experimentalDecorators   true       target    es5        typeRoots            node modules  types              lib            es2017          dom                The moduleResolution specify module resolution strategy  The value of this settings can be node or classic  You may read more about this here

If you did what I  foolishly  did    Which was drag and drop a component folder into my project then you ll probably be able to solve it by doing what I did to fix it   Explanation  Basically  by some means Angualar CLI must tell InteliJ what  angular means  If you just plop the file in your project without using the Angular CLI i e  ng g componentName --module app module then Angular CLI doesn t know to update this reference so IntelliJ has no idea what it is   Approach  Trigger the Angular CLI to update references of  angular  I currently know only one way to do this     Implementation  Add a new component at the same level as the component your having issues with  ng g tempComponent --module app module This should force the Angular CLI to run and update these references in the project  Now just delete the tempComponent you just created and don t forget to remove any reference to it in app module   Hope this helps someone else out

I was facing this issue only while importing my own created components services For those of you like me  for whom the accepted solution did not work  can try this   Add   baseUrl    src    in your tsconfig json  The reason is that visual code IDE is unable to resolve the base url so is unable to resolve path to imported components and gives error warning   Whereas angular compiler takes src as baseurl by default so it is able to compile   NOTE   You need to restart VS Code IDE to make this change come into effect   EDIT   As mentioned in one of the comments  in some cases changing workspace version might also work  More details here  https   github com Microsoft vscode issues 34681 issuecomment-331306869

In the VSCode status bar  it must be showing typescript version - like this  Clicking on that version number will show you this  different versions available   If you are using the VSCode version then switching to Workspace version solves the problem if it is VScode issue rather than your tsconfig json  I am already using that one  so not highlighted

Do run  npm install    it will work most of the cases

I was facing the same issue   there could be two reasons for this-  Your src base folder might not been declared  to resolve this go to tsconfig json and add the baseUrl as  quot src quot        quot compileOnSave quot   false     quot compilerOptions quot          quot baseUrl quot    quot src quot        quot outDir quot    quot   dist out-tsc quot        quot sourceMap quot   true       quot declaration quot   false       quot downlevelIteration quot   true       quot experimentalDecorators quot   true       quot module quot    quot esnext quot        quot moduleResolution quot    quot node quot        quot importHelpers quot   true       quot target quot    quot es2015 quot        quot lib quot            quot es2018 quot          quot dom quot                quot angularCompilerOptions quot          quot fullTemplateTypeCheck quot   true       quot strictInjectionParameters quot   true         you might have problem in npm   To resolve this   open your command window and run-npm install
