Ngx-chips: Cannot find name 'Ng2Dropdown' (again)

[mtfurlan]

So in issue 110 it was mentioned that going from version 0.8.6 to 0.8.6 should fix this issue of not being able to find Ng2Dropdown from ng2-material-dropdown

That worked for me three days ago.

Today, a different team member started work on the project, and they had the issue again.
I thought this was odd, so I rm -rf node_modules && npm i
Now I have the issue again.

We're running a webpack based project, but I suspect it has something to do with the seed we're based on.

[at-loader] node_modules/ng2-tag-input/dist/modules/components/dropdown/tag-input-dropdown.component.d.ts:11:15 
    TS2304: Cannot find name 'Ng2Dropdown'.
[at-loader] node_modules/ng2-tag-input/dist/modules/components/dropdown/tag-input-dropdown.component.d.ts:30:28 
    TS2304: Cannot find name 'Ng2Dropdown'.
[at-loader] node_modules/ng2-tag-input/dist/modules/components/dropdown/tag-input-dropdown.component.d.ts:32:28 
    TS2304: Cannot find name 'Ng2MenuItem'.

To replicate:

git clone https://github.com/preboot/angular2-webpack
cd angular2-webpack
npm i
npm install ng2-tag-input --save # is version 0.8.7 right now
vim src/app/app.module.ts
# Import TagInputModule
npm run server
# go to http://localhost:8080

Possibly related to https://github.com/angular/angular-cli/issues/3674 (I can reproduce with the cli, not with the webpack config in the repo)

For anyone running into this issue, it seems to go away if you roll ng2-tag-input back to version 0.8.6 (assuming that's an option for you).

I am on 0.8.6

[mtfurlan]

For the seed I linked, 0.8.6 still has this error.

[Gbuomprisco]

just a note: the difference between 0.8.6 and 0.8.7 is just a dev-dependency update, so I am inclined to think that the issue is related to an update in the tooling (copy/paste from another ticket, likely the same issue but with different stacktrace)

[fahad-nxvt]

0.8.7 has the same error. Any update on this?

[gen4sp]

set "0.8.6." instead of "^0.8.6" fix for me
but waiting for an update

@gen4sp It helped. Solved the issue for now. Thanks.

Hi everyone,

I released version 0.8.8. I could not reproduce this issue, but it fixed https://github.com/Gbuomprisco/ng2-tag-input/issues/220, so maybe give it a try? Thanks

[mtfurlan]

Seems to work fine now, cheers!
If it pops up again I'll come back with a working example in a docker container that can be replicated on other computers...
