Ocombe/ng2-translate Bug in Ionic Beta 7 - Argument of type 'Http' is not assignable to parameter of type 'Http' #132

Ionic Framework ionic-v3
1

I integrated the ng2-translate and it was working cool in Beta 6. When I upgraded to Beta 7 this week, I am getting this error in Terminal on ionic serve

TypeScript error: app/app.ts(27,79): Error TS2345: Argument of type 'Http' is not assignable to parameter of type 'Http'.
  Property '_backend' is protected but type 'Http' is not a class derived from 'Http'.

useFactory          :   (http: Http) => new TranslateStaticLoader(http, 'assets/i18n', '.json'),:

In above line, error is thrown at the first http parameter passed to TranslateStaticLoader

Raised an issue in their Github Repo too.

Would be great, If someone could give a quick fix, while I wait for the plugin author to provide a proper fix :slight_smile:

I assume when you upgraded ionic2 to beta7 you also updated ng2-translate to the latest version which works with Angular RC? ng2-translate version 2.1.0 is working for me.

This is how I have it:

providers:   [provide(TranslateLoader, {
            useFactory: (http: Http): any => new TranslateStaticLoader(http, 'translate', '.json'),
            deps:       [Http],
        }),
        TranslateService],

I am getting same typescript error while including ng-2 translate providers in useFactory row while using ng2-translate version 2.1.0:

Argument of type ‘Http’ is not assignable to parameter of type ‘Http’.
Property ‘_backend’ is protected but type ‘Http’ is not a class derived from ‘Http’.

provide(TranslateLoader, {
useFactory: (http: Http) => new TranslateStaticLoader(http, ‘assets/i18n’, ‘.json’),
deps: [Http]
}), TranslateService

@ksnidalova I’ve this in my app.ts:

provide(TranslateLoader, {
   useFactory: (http: Http): any => new TranslateStaticLoader(http, 'translate', '.json'),
   deps:       [Http],
}), TranslateService

I solved the problem by removing

from my package.json file which didn’t work anyway. Then I deleted all node_modules and ran npm install again. The error must have been caused by some dependency conflict, because it works okay now. Try to check for module conflicts.
