Getting error after adding web worker with cli command in Angular 8


Angular 8 has added a better support for web workers. I had no luck to get it working. Does someone know what am i doing wrong?

Here is official guide i followed.

With this cli command i generated web worker:

ng generate webWorker my-worker

cli has generated my-worker.worker.ts file and tsconfig.worker.json file, and updated following files: angular.json, tsconfig.app.json.

After this im getting following error:

Solution

  • I had this issue too, and noticed that in a new Angular 8 project, all tsconfig.*.json files are in the root directory, and there is only the root tslint.json file.

    Here's what I did:

    If you made any modifications to the tsconfig files generated by the CLI, it might be easier to move them from src to the root, and edit the paths in them. I didn't change the generated files, so I just copied from a new project.

    I have no idea what it is about generating a Web Worker and the addition of the tsconfig.worker.json that throws a wrench in an upgraded Angular project. Upgrading from 7 worked fine until I added a worker.
