Description

Followup to #14553 (comment)

Running ng update @angular/core --from 7 --to 8 --migrate-only on 8.0.0 does not migrate.
But going back to rc.0 will prompt the migration again.

git clone https://github.com/rip222/viewChild-test-ng8

            ------ Static Query Migration ------
            With Angular version 8, developers need to
            explicitly specify the timing of ViewChild and
            ContentChild queries. Read more about this here:

Hello
what happen this error

[PeterBMartinez]

@TunMyintThein1995 That is because the angular team changed the functionality of ViewChild so now you have you change it to something similar to this,
@ViewChild(MatSort, {static: false}) sort: MatSort;
Here is a link to the documentation about the different meta properties that you can now use.
