Angular: Incompatible with latest version of Analyzer

[supermuka]

None of the recent versions of the Angular package are compatible with the latest version of the Analyzer package 0.39.2+1.

pub get update shows:

Because angular >= depends on analyzer ^0.37.0 and auge_web depends on analyzer ^0.39.2+1, angular >=6.0.0-alpha+1 is forbidden.
So, because auge_web depends on angular ^6.0.0-alpha+1, version solving failed.

• Dart SDK Version (dart --version)
  2.7
• AngularDart Version
  6.0.0-alpha+1
• Whether you are using Windows, macOS, or Linux
  Windows
• Whether you are using Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge
  Chrome

As mentioned in https://github.com/dart-lang/angular/issues/1860#issuecomment-565643006, you can use dependency_overrides to override the analyzer constraint.

@leonsenft: FYI: While the overrides may work in many cases, there were a few non-trivial changes between package:analyzer 0.37 and 0.39, and for a non-angular use-case we had breaking changes when doing the override.

Overriding analyzer is not the magic solution as it breaks some others packages on build. In my project, I tried many times but impossible to use analyzer> 0.38.3 Hope you'll upgrade Angular to be compatible with analyzer 0.39+ soon

@leonsenft Updating to analyzer ^0.39.0 with dependency_overrides fails on webdev build with the following error:

Angular (5.3.1)

We can't update builder libraries with important fixes for us because they depend on the latest analyzer version. And angular doesn't compile with this analyzer version.
