Agreed…I’ve tried everything. What I finally got to work was downgrading back to angular 4.1.3.
In order to do this i had to remove the “^” character from the dependency lines:
Example: when it read: @angular/core": “^4.1.3”, it wouldn’t downgrade running npm update
I had to remove that character so it read: “@angular/core”: “4.1.3”, and then npm update downgraded angular.
This seems to have fixed the issue for now. Thanks for responding!
