Repro steps

  • Regular Angular app created with ng new project -g -S --routing -style scss
  • One lazy feature module loading (WORKS FINE WITHOUT IT)
  • Newest Angular packages (same as these generated by the newest CLI)
  • tsconfig.jsons not modified
  • Moved styles.scss to src/styles/styles.scss with proper angular.json modification
  • Reorganized the structure - same as https://ngrx.github.io/platform/stackblitz.html
  • Ngrx packages installed but only applied to the the router (I know it hasn’t been updated to 7.x but I guess it’s not the root cause) and nothing else has been done with it

Desired functionality

The app should start normally.

Mention any other details that might be useful

  • WORKS FINE WITHOUT LAZY LOADING FEATURE MODULES
  • Tried both with NPM and Yarn (removed node_modules, reinstall, ng serve)
  • Nothing extraordinary in the project
  • Node with NVM

@dannydtk had the same issue - for anyone else who may come across this, when adding EventEmitter to an Angular component, the auto import in VS Code added this line:

import { EventEmitter } from 'protractor';

Yikes. Wish I had found this post an hour sooner!

From the log output it appears protractor has been imported into the application accidentally.

@clydin Yeah, I’ve accidentally imported Protractor… This might be my biggest mistake ever 😬Thank you very much! The issue can be closed now.

no problem. Things like that happen.

clydin on Oct 25, 2018

Has anyone reported this to the appropriate VS Code and/or Extension that controls that?

Seems like it is prioritizing a dev dependency over a normal dependency and one that is in @angular/core should probably be imported over protractor for sure.
