aspnetcore-angular-universal: RROR in node_modules/rxjs/internal/types.d.ts(81,44): error TS1005: ';' expected.

Just reporting this issue in case others experience the same problem with new installs when npm install.

This happens because the latest rxjs version is no longer compatible with the typescript version we use for the starter (“~2.7.2”). Pinning the rxjs version from “^6.2.0” to “6.2.0” addresses the problem (apparently 6.3.3 should be OK according to the comments at https://stackoverflow.com/questions/54434333/error-ts1005-expected-typescript-angular-6-for-first-build-error-rxjs-insi)

Probably typescript should be upgraded to a higher version soon…

@Ollynov remove the carat symbol (^) before the version number for rxjs. It worked for me and I also changed the version to 6.2.2

Remove the “node_modules” folder from your project
Go to package.json
Change rxjs version to “rxjs”: “6.3.3”
Go to console and run “npm install” again
And then run “ng serve”

It should work now !!

I continue to get the same error on any of those versions mentioned. (even after deleting node modules and installing again)

Coming to comment that the error ERROR in node_modules/rxjs/internal/types.d.ts(81,44): error TS1005: ';' expected exists for rxjs 6.5.0, however uninstalling that and installing @6.3.3 fixes the issue.

try without changing anything npm install rxjs@X.X.X X.X.X -> you current version
