Compiling Angular app: Error: export 'ɵwithHttpTransferCache' (imported as 'ɵwithHttpTransferCache') was not found in '@angular/common/http'

Question

I've recently updated my app to Angular 17 and I'm getting this weird error at compile time:

./node_modules/@angular/platform-browser/fesm2022/platform-browser.mjs:2016:81-103

• Error: export 'ɵwithHttpTransferCache' (imported as 'ɵwithHttpTransferCache') was not found in '@angular/common/http' (possible exports: HTTP_INTERCEPTORS, HttpBackend, HttpClient, HttpClientJsonpModule, HttpClientModule, HttpClientXsrfModule, HttpContext, HttpContextToken, HttpErrorResponse, HttpEventType, HttpHandler, HttpHeaderResponse, HttpHeaders, HttpParams, HttpRequest, HttpResponse, HttpResponseBase, HttpUrlEncodingCodec, HttpXhrBackend, HttpXsrfTokenExtractor, JsonpClientBackend, JsonpInterceptor, XhrFactory, ɵHttpInterceptingHandler, ɵangular_packages_common_http_http_a, ɵangular_packages_common_http_http_b, ɵangular_packages_common_http_http_c, ɵangular_packages_common_http_http_d, ɵangular_packages_common_http_http_e, ɵangular_packages_common_http_http_f, ɵangular_packages_common_http_http_g)

Answer 1

It took me several attempts but eventually, I solved it by simply deleting the Angular cache folder (by default it is located at .angular) and rebuilding my app.

rm -rf .angular

Alternatively:

ng cache clean
