Did you verify this is a real problem by searching the NativeScript Forum and the other open issues in this repo? Yes

Which platform(s) does your issue occur on?

Both

    "lazy": "1.0.11",
    "nativescript-dev-typescript": "~0.4.0",
    "typescript": "~2.2.1"
  }
}

I updated my version of TNS from 3.3.0 to 4.1.0. I removed my iOS and Android platforms. I ran "tns update" in the root folder which updated the application. When I run "tns build android" or "tns build ios" I get the following error message in my console:

node_modules/tns-core-modules/ui/styling/gradient.d.ts(7,25): error TS6143: Module '../../css/parser' was resolved to '/Users/shivapersad/cngProject/cngApp/node_modules/tns-core-modules/css/parser.js', but '--allowJs' is not set.

TypeScript compiler failed with exit code 1**

I checked the file being displayed in the error message but I am not seeing the '--allowJs' flag in the code. Any assistance is appreciated. Thanks.

This happens to me too. Also tns doctor says:

⚠ Update available for component tns-android. Your current version is 4.0.1 and the latest available version is 4.1.1.

When 4.1.1 is in fact installed:

npm view tns-android

@shivapersad et @arielnmz I believe you might need to update you {N} Angular dependencies to v6.

HI all.
As @jogboms says, you should upgrade nativescript-angular and all other angular dependances. You can check the attached package.json file.

    "license": "SEE LICENSE IN <your-license-filename>",
    "readme": "NativeScript Application",
    "repository": "<fill-your-repository-here>",

        "id": "org.nativescript.testNG"
    },
    "dependencies": {

        "@angular/common": "~6.0.0",
        "@angular/compiler": "~6.0.0",
        "@angular/core": "~6.0.0",
        "@angular/forms": "~6.0.0",
        "@angular/http": "~6.0.0",
        "@angular/platform-browser": "~6.0.0",
        "@angular/platform-browser-dynamic": "~6.0.0",
        "@angular/router": "~6.0.0",
        "nativescript-angular": "~6.0.0",
        "nativescript-theme-core": "~1.0.4",
        "reflect-metadata": "~0.1.8",
        "rxjs": "~6.1.0",
        "tns-core-modules": "~4.1.0",
        "zone.js": "^0.8.26"
    },
    "devDependencies": {
        "nativescript-dev-typescript": "~0.7.0",
        "typescript": "~2.7.2"
    }
}

Also make sure that your are using latest NativeScript CLI 4.2(tns --version). Before rebuilding also delete node_modules, platforms, package-lock.json files.

@NickIliev I updated my package.json file with the dependencies above and my Nativescript project works fine. Thanks for your assistance in resolving my issue.

[arielnmz]

In my case I had some outdated dependencies, I just had to update typescript to 2.7.* and it works normally

[Clifte]

I updated typescript and the error is gone.
