When running ng serve sometimes without explicit change in the code the project gets recompiled multiple times in a row. Sometimes this series end with an error:

The process stops watching for new changes and no further reompilation is hapening. After I stop it and start it again the compilation completes with no errors and it keeps watching for changes, which trigger healthy recompilation.

Hi, thanks for reporting this.

This seems to be related to microsoft/TypeScript#29365

alan-agius4 · 2019-04-03T16:59:46Z

This should be solved in the next release (7.3.8)

The commit that addressed this should be fad7ba9

If the problem persist after upgrading kindly open a new issue.

Thanks

gozzoo · 2019-04-03T19:16:18Z

OK, thanks!

For me it works again updating to:

Angular 7.2.12
CLI: 7.3.8 + global version
devkit: 0.13.8

And delete node_modules and new npm i

gozzoo · 2019-04-09T06:32:13Z

I just did full reinstall and the problem persists.

I deleted node_modules folder
I deleted node_cache folder
I did: npm install in the project folder

What's interesting is that the re-compilation is caused by seemingly unrelated events like resizing termial window in VSCode or starting production build in another terminal ng build --prod. Recompilation is oftern triggered by loading the app in the browser. It also happened after I did file search in VSCode.

Not each sporadic recompilation ends with error, but sometimes it does.

acohenOT · 2019-04-09T12:15:16Z

I no longer see the 'kind' error after updating but I notice that the spontaneous re-compilation still occurs -- though it results in a successful compilation. Something is still not right.

alan-agius4 · 2019-04-10T04:31:52Z

@gozzoo, you also need to update the devkit packages.

gozzoo · 2019-04-10T06:15:37Z

@alan-agius4 how shoud I do that?

When I run ng update it doesn't show any obsolete packates.

When I try to update devkit anyways with ng update @angular-devkit/core I get this:

    Package not installed: "@angular-devkit/core". Skipping.
    We analyzed your package.json and everything seems to be in order. Good work!

Isn't ng update supposed to take care of this or I should update each devkit package individually with npm?

gozzoo · 2019-04-11T05:55:27Z

I just did ng update @angular-devkit/build-angular and it updated all devkit packages. Noww everything is up to date.

It wasn't very obvious thogh and ng update didn't mention anything about any of the devkit packages.

gozzoo · 2019-04-12T09:58:01Z

I see that the devkit update issue has been reported in #13581, which is closed now. Let's hope that it will be released in the next angular-cli patch version.

I'm submitting new issue #14146 for the spontaneous re-compilation.

ghanashyam-c-k · 2019-07-05T09:48:13Z

I am also getting this error frequently. Even by doing a folder search in vscode, recompilation fires.
I am using Angular CLI v7.3.8 and Node v10.15.3
