Angular-cli: rxjs-compat NOT automatically installed

[jtsom]

Per the paragraph on the announcement blog page:

For example, the command ng update @angular/core will update all of the Angular framework packages as well as RxJS and TypeScript, and will run any schematics available on these packages to keep you up to date. As part of this one command, we’ll automatically install rxjs-compat into your application to make the adoption of RxJS v6 smoother.

However, after running the ng upgrade commands, rxjs-compat was NOT automatically installed. When I ran my app, there were several errors related to rxjs

node_modules/rxjs/Observable.d.ts(1,15): error TS2307: Cannot find module 'rxjs-compat/Observable'.
src/app/students/students.component.ts(2,10): error TS2305: Module '"/Users/john/Dev/DotNet/TimeTracker/node_modules/rxjs/Observable"' has no exported member 'Observable'.
src/app/students/students.service.ts(3,10): error TS2305: Module '"/Users/john/Dev/DotNet/TimeTracker/node_modules/rxjs/Observable"' has no exported member 'Observable'.

This package allowed me to keep working:

npm install [email protected]

See .. https://update.angular.io/ ..

In the last parts:

"Once you and all of your dependencies have updated to RxJS 6, remove rxjs-compat."

[ElisePatrikainen]

Same - I tried to run as well ng update rxjs, but it did not add rxjs-compat to the package.json, neither added it to the npm list.

[sachinpachori]

Same here.

I too have the same issue but resolved by

npm install [email protected]

[sreeksp]

@here removing rxjs-compat after the migration still throw the same error

[alexeagle]

As time passes, fewer users are still updating to Angular 6, so lowering the priority. Sorry this wasn't fixed already.

npm i rxjs-compat

Add these on o your root folder

[clydin]

rxjs-compat should not longer be needed. However if this issue is still occurring for anyone, the rxjs package itself contains the necessary migrations to install the rxjs-compat package. Please open an issue with rxjs if the update migrations are not being properly executed when updating from a pre-6.0 version of rxjs to a new version via the ng update command.
