Components: Bug: Generic type 'CdkRowDef<T>' requires 1 type argument(s)

[faelmorais]

Bug:

After updating from 2.0.0-beta.11 to 2.0.0-beta.12, when running my project I get the following errors:
node_modules/@angular/material/table/typings/row.d.ts (20,39): Generic type 'CdkRowDef<T>' requires 1 type argument(s)
node_modules/@angular/material/table/typings/row.d.ts (23,40): Generic type 'CdkRowDef<T>' requires 1 type argument(s)

If I change both lines from:
export declare class MdRowDef extends _MdCdkRowDef { }

export declare class MatRowDef extends _MdCdkRowDef { }

To:
export declare class MdRowDef extends _MdCdkRowDef<any> { }

export declare class MatRowDef extends _MdCdkRowDef<any> { }

I can run my project again with no issues.
I don't use the table module but was wondering if this is the correct way to solve the issue.

Which versions of Angular, Material, OS, TypeScript, browsers are affected?

Angular 4.4.3, Material 2.0.0-beta.12, macOs Sierra, TypeScript 2.5.2, no browser affected.

A mismatch in angular cdk and angular material gave me this error. It worked for me when i got both the versions same at 11 ( @angular/material 2.0.0.-beta.11 and @angular/cdk 2.0.0-beta.11.) When i tried with version 12, build breaks.

if you're looking for a quick fix until you reinstall the node package with the matching versions you can simply alter the type to any:

in the angular material src file row.d.ts

export declare class MdRowDef extends _MdCdkRowDef<any> {
}
/** Mat-compatible version of MdRowDef */
export declare class MatRowDef extends _MdCdkRowDef<any> {
}

Check you have pinned the same version of cdk and material in package.json:

  "dependencies": {
...
    "@angular/cdk": "2.0.0-beta.11",
    "@angular/material": "2.0.0-beta.11",
}

If you have e.g. ^2.0.0-beta.11 for cdk, you will run into problems now that beta.12 is available.

Sounds like the issue is due to mismatched versions, if the problem persists then please feel free to re-open the issue

Had the same problem, when I have put same versions, worked fine.
