Current behavior
After upgrading primeng from 4.1.3 to 4.2.0-rc.1, I get this build error in my Angular.io project:
ERROR in ng:.../web/ewp/objs/node_modules/primeng/components/dropdown/dropdown.d.ts.Dropdown.html (6,13): Type 'string' is not assignable to type 'boolean'.

Expected behavior
Should build without errors

Please tell us about your environment:
Linux
Angular.io with angular-cli

Confirmed, this issue exists in aot build.

I am having the same issue as well :-) - What would be the latest primeng release where AOT works fine?

[mtibbo]

Same issue here too, after update primeng to 4.2.0-rc.1

[dockleryxk]

Commenting that you have the same issue really only clogs up the thread. Unless you have something constructive to say or a question, just thumbs up the issue.

[jesusce21]

Is there any temp solution to build without errors?

[shalugin]

@jesusce21 revert to 4.1.3 ?

[rodrigoauglima]

Same problem here. Reverting to 4.1.

[LucasBrazi06]

I just reverted to 4.1.3 and it built successfully.

[saskyagurgel]

I fixed replacing *ngIf=\"!editable&&label\" to *ngIf=\"!editable&&!!label\"

[sebichondo]

Thanks @eminoda downgrading to 4.1.3 worked for me too

[adityals]

@saskyagurgel can you post your file or tell us the file location to put this code? By the way, if I downgrade to 4.1.3 I can't use the MessageService class. Please help me.

[saskyagurgel]

@adityals i'm changed the file ...\node_modules\primeng\components\dropdown\dropdown.metadata.json
replacing *ngIf="!editable&&label" to *ngIf="!editable&&!!label"
