Angular v8 update

[bogacg]

Angular v.8 is expected week of May 22. Upgrading projects from previous version shouldn't be difficult yet there are new concepts (such as differential loading) that might require used libraries to be on the same page in terms of dependencies to work properly.

At the moment I'm porting a project to Angular v.8 (rc.4) and while it works fine in dev mode, AoT build does not. I can trace back to a zone.js error, and since v8 release candidate upgraded its depended version, I'm thinking angular-l10n might have to as well at some point.

I tried updating my apps to Angular v8 and I didn't get any errors. zone.js is just a devDep for the library, what kind of error you got?

However, when Angular v8 is released, a new version for Angular v8 of this library will be released as soon as possible.

This is the error I'm getting on the console when I publish:

Uncaught Error: In this configuration Angular requires Zone.js
 at Object.6dTf (polyfills-es2015.630faf

That's weird. I only have two polyfills: polyfills and polyfills-es5. The first is always loaded, while the second only if I open IE. Why do you have polyfills-es2015?

I'm trying out Angular 8 with CLI rc-4 now and this is the output for ng build --prod on a basic project (with Material & Service Worker libs added). However build output was same in previous rc as well.

You're right: I was still using the es5 target. Now I get the error.

Also in reference to your pr (#245 ), have you already verified that updating the dependencies the error disappears?

[bogacg]

I'll tell when I get back home (I did that work on my desk computer), I really forgot what was the outcome because there is a breaking change in rc-5 published last night, which affected another UI library I'm using. It's all a mess now. I'll get back to you.

Ok, np. But I think I found the reason: if I remove import 'web-animations-js'; from polyfills.ts in my app, then it works without problems.
Therefore it is not a problem of this library. I think we should open an issue in angular-cli repo.

[robisim74]

I opened an issue on angular-cli repo: angular/angular-cli#14518

[robisim74]

The solution is the angular-cli repo. I'm closing this.
