[dvbava]

same exact issue here..

after some trial and error.. Found that "@swimlane/ngx-charts": "^7.0.0" breaks

reverting back to "@swimlane/ngx-charts": "^6.1.0" works...

[mrcaste]

It works!

The error is generated by "@swimlane/ngx-charts": "^7.0.0"

The bug was fixed in version 7.0.1.

Thank you!
