Angularfire2 + RC3 = "firebase is not defined"

With no other changes, now getting this:

error_handler.js:46EXCEPTION: Error in ./MyApp class MyApp_Host - inline template:0:0 caused by: firebase is not defined

Tried blowing away node_modules, NPM install. Still broken.

I’ve also tried with a new RC3 project, added my code. Same problem.

Any ideas?

Can you copy/paste your /firebase-provider.ts please ?

Sure, here you go:

import { Injectable } from ‘@angular/core’;
import ‘rxjs/Rx’;
import { Subject } from ‘rxjs/Subject’;
import { Observable } from ‘rxjs/Observable’;
import { CONFIG } from ‘…/config/config’;
import { AngularFire, AuthProviders, AuthMethods, FirebaseListObservable } from ‘angularfire2’;
import { FacebookService } from ‘./facebook-provider’;
import * as _ from ‘lodash’;
import { TranslateService } from ‘ng2-translate/ng2-translate’;
import { Storage } from ‘@ionic/storage’;

declare var GeoFire: any;

@Injectable()
export class Firebase {
…variables…
}

constructor(public af: AngularFire, private facebookService: FacebookService, private translate: TranslateService, public storage: Storage) {
… setup …
}

What code is at the line 100, (or 40) ?
Can you put the constructor code please ? It looks like there is a problem around the line 100 of firebase-provider.ts

Line 100 is in the middle of a variable declaration.

// database paths
public paths = {
‘geofireEvents’: ‘/geofire-events/’,
‘events’: /passport-events,
‘bievents’: /passport-events-bitext/,
‘currentUser’: ‘’, <---- this is line 100 --------------->
‘currentUserLocation’: ‘’,
‘actionLog’: /actionLog/,
‘loginUsers’: ‘’,
‘userBookmarks’: ‘’,
‘userBookmarksArticles’: ‘’,
‘userBookmarksEvents’: ‘’,
‘userInterestsEvents’: ‘’,
‘userInterestsArticles’: ‘’,
‘userSettings’: ‘’,
‘interests’: ‘/interests’,
‘actions’: ‘/actions’,
‘actionTypes’: ‘/actionTypes/’,
‘articles’: ‘/articles’,
‘gameRules’: ‘/gamerules’,
‘leaderBoard’: ‘/geofire-leaderBoard’,
‘scores’: ‘/scores/’,
‘stamps’: ‘/passport-stamps/’,
‘userAwardsLog’: ‘’,
‘places’: ‘/passport-places/’,
‘userCategoriesSelected’: ‘’,
‘categories’: ‘/interests’,
‘categoryIndex’: ‘/categoryIndex’,
‘editorsPicks’: ‘/editorsPicks’
};

I think I found it though (not on line 100 as reported):

In the constructor, I have:

this.geoFire = new GeoFire(firebase.database().ref().child(‘geofire-events’));

Without RC3, firebase is defined. I am going to swap back to RC3 and see what happens.
