I have the same error and i'm using angular 6 too with typescript 2.9.2
I read here https://github.com/valor-software/ngx-bootstrap/issues/5220 that a solution is to upgrade to a more recent version (something that I can't do for now.. ).

What's the version of the scanner you're using?

I have also experienced the same problem.

I think it might be related to the versions I am using. I hope this one gets solved.

Try using a less recent version of the scanner. The latest version was not tested with Angular 6, but only v7 and v8.
