Ionic - TypeError: console.log is not a function

I get this weird error that console.log is not a function. I have not clue what’s causing this. It work’s fine in the entire app but throws this error only on a specific screen where I open a modal to edit form data.

try to include dom in your tsconfig.json:

  "lib": [
      "dom",
      "es2015"
    ],

It’s already there. tsconfig.json is as follows:

{
“compilerOptions”: {
“allowSyntheticDefaultImports”: true,
“declaration”: false,
“emitDecoratorMetadata”: true,
“experimentalDecorators”: true,
“lib”: [
“dom”,
“es2015”
],
“module”: “es2015”,
“moduleResolution”: “node”,
“sourceMap”: true,
“target”: “es5”
},
“include”: [
“src/**/*.ts”
],
“exclude”: [
“node_modules”
],
“compileOnSave”: false,
“atom”: {
“rewriteTsconfig”: false
}
}

can you show us some code samples or a project that replicates that error?

Sure. From example when I call the selectClientModal($event) it throws the error at line 181(see bold section) in edit-modal.ts. If you notice the .ts file I have commented out all the console.log lines. It works for the time being but that obviously not the solution. Funny thing is that I have used console.log everywhere but it only throws the error from this page onwards.

edit-job.html file(this is only part of the code):

  <ion-item>
    <ion-label stacked>Client Name*</ion-label>
    <ion-input type="search" (ionFocus)=selectClientModal($event) [(ngModel)]="clientName" name="clientName" autocomplete="on"  required></ion-input>
  </ion-item>

edit-job.ts file(it throws an error everywhere at the console.log and also in the modal when the modal is opened)

I just realised the code is not legible. Not sure how else can I share this. :-/

This is the error I get:

So I deleted the page, added the page ading and rewrote the code. Works properly now. Weird. :-/
