Angularfire: Typescript error rxjs

[alejandrobovino]

I have an old proyect with Angularfire2 2.0.0-beta.2 ionic2, node version 6.14.3.
The problem when compile are a lot of Typescript errors, all under node_modules/angularfire2/node_modules/rxjs/ folder

I think maybe angularfire2 has a wrong version. any help with this?

I'll advice you to update all your packages if you haven't done so already,
Last time i checked, rxjs packages have been updated to version 6.2.1, so it may cause breakage.

I am having issues with rxjs library update, started this week with a working project. Followed the migration guide:

npm i -g rxjs-tslint
rxjs-5-to-6-migrate -p [path/to/tsconfig.json]

Didn't have better results.

Error: Uncaught (in promise): Error: Cannot find module "."
Error: Cannot find module "."

I can´t change ionic version. must be 2.0

Sorry, you're using a version that's two years out of date; we don't have the bandwidth to support this. I recommend upgrading your project.

Closing, feel free to continue to discuss.

I also get errors when using Ionic 3. Because Ionic 4 (with angular6 integration) isn't released yet, I'm forced to use angular 5 (which is in Ionic 3).
Which version of angularfire2 works with angular5?

EDIT:

1748 suggested to use rxjs6 and compat instead, which worked!

[nitzuga]

Using NVM and downgrading versions of Angular, AngularFire2 and firebase y manage to get my app to work. I suggest using older versions that are still compatible until the release of Ionic 4. Apparently with Ionic 3 there's no complete rxjs6 compatibility.
With NVM I set up this environment :

Node 9.11.2
NPM 5.6.0
Ionic 3.20.0
Firebase Tools 3.19.0

This is the dependencies I am using in my package.json :

dependecies: {
    .... [other dependencies]
    "@ionic-native/core": "4.4.0",
    "@angular/common": "5.0.3",
    "@angular/compiler": "5.0.3",
