angular-cli: Angular CLI 1.5.0-rc.6 does not support @angular/service-worker@5.0.0-rc.8

There is no built-in support for service worker in 1.5. But since the @angular/service-worker package has its cli separate you can use it with 1.5. There is a good explanation for this by @webmaxru here and here. Just make sure to remove the service-worker entry from the .angular-cli.json, because this will cause a fatal error.

I now have cli 1.6.0-rc.0 and confirm that without "serviceWorker": true in the .angular-cli.json file DOES resolve the issue.

@dalu this is fixed in the upcoming 1.6 You can try 1.6.0-rc.2 if you want (first release with the fix).

I’m not an authority on this topic, but https://github.com/angular/angular-cli/issues/8224 seems to indicate that it would be part of 1.6.0. Based on the rapid rate of development on the CLI, I don’t think that will be a long wait.

Btw, the OP should probably be updated to a feature request instead of a bug as this was intended. Actually, this issue likely can be closed in favor of #8224.

Also documentation on @angular/service-worker is lacking. Even angular.io doesn’t use it yet so no surprises here.

I think there is still an issue with 1.6.0-rc.1.

If you try to use @angular/service-worker in 5.1.0-rc.1 for example, you run into:

The installed version of @angular/service-worker is 5.1.0-rc.1. This version of the CLI
requires the @angular/service-worker version to satisfy >= 1.0.0-beta.5 < 2.0.0. Please upgrade
your service worker version.

whereas using 5.0.5 everything is fine.

Update: looks like the CLI check uses semver.satisfies which will fail for RC and betas. I’m opening a PR to start a discussion on using gt() instead.

Hello All ~

I am having the same issue even after trying what @johanchouquet said. I have "serviceWorker": true in my .angular-cli.json file yet I still get this error when trying to build:

The installed version of @angular/service-worker is 5.1.0-beta.2. This version of the CLI
requires the @angular/service-worker version to satisfy >= 1.0.0-beta.5 < 2.0.0. Please upgrade
your service worker version.

Here is my ng -v info:
