ERROR in ./node_modules/ng2-smart-table/ng2-smart-table.ngfactory.js

Question

I am getting the below error. when i do "ng build --prod --aot"

ERROR in ./node_modules/ng2-smart-table/ng2-smart-table.ngfactory.js Module not found: Error: Can't resolve '../@akveo/ng2-completer/ng2-completer.ngfactory' in 'C:\Shruthi\Applications\PULSE\Q2-error\pulse\Pulse-web\node_modules\ng2-smart-table'

everything works fine when i do ng build.

I am getting this error from yesterday everything was working fine in before yesterday.

Is it error because of ng2-completer or something related ng build or angular version.

Pleas help me! Not able to figure out the reason

Answer 1

If you are using Ang 9

Upgrade these libraries to these versions

"ng2-completer": "^9.0.1",

"ng2-smart-table": "^1.6.0",

"typescript": "3.8.3" // note explicit ie no "~" or "^"

Answer 2

It seems to be a problem with the library itself. See this: https://github.com/akveo/ng2-smart-table/issues/1143. We are also facing the same problem while upgrading our application to Angular 9.
