Hello,
I have tried every possible solution to fix this issue but none helps remove this error message.

I have the same problem...

nydal91 · 2016-09-18T00:34:11Z

it work when i follow the Troubleshooting.
https://github.com/angular/angularfire2/blob/master/docs/1-install-and-setup.md

tsconfig.json:

k1ng440 · 2016-09-18T01:57:44Z

you added "firebase" to types, right?

it didnt work for me

nydal91 · 2016-09-18T11:23:42Z

I don't understand the question. but I just restart the guide to I get it to work. toke some time.

mukesh51 · 2016-09-18T16:57:06Z

@k1ng440 I'll recommend try the install guide again. you "ng -v" gives angular-cli: 1.0.0-beta.11-webpack.8 , where as angular-cli has got updated. so may be worth un-installing and re-installing angular-cli. Also, I've faced issues on windows system and have seen others also facing different issues on windows, but everything seems to be working fine on linux based system. Just so you know.

manekinekko · 2016-09-18T22:13:16Z

I could reproduce this issue. It guess this might be a regression, because it seemed to be fixed in early versions.

I don't know if it's related to angularfire2 or angular-cli

//cc @TheLarkInn @davideast any idea?

angular-cli: local (v1.0.0-beta.14, branch: master)
node: 6.4.0
os: darwin x64
@angular/core: ^2.0.0
angularfire2: ^2.0.0-beta.5
firebase: ^3.4.0

jeffbcross · 2016-09-19T17:36:06Z

@k1ng440 I'm curious, is the firebase package installed in your root node_modules (i.e. your-app/node_modules/firebase), or is it just installed inside your-project/node_modules/angularfire2/node_modules/firebase?

k1ng440 · 2016-09-19T17:42:31Z

i have firebase on node_modules/firebase and angularfire2/node_modules/firebase

jeffbcross · 2016-09-19T17:47:18Z

@k1ng440 thanks. This might be an issue with AF2 still depending on 3.3.0, and TypeScript might not be resolving the types correctly since there are two instances of firebase.

As an experiment, could you delete node_modules/angularfire2/node_modules/firebase and then see if the problem is solved?

k1ng440 · 2016-09-19T17:53:27Z

removed and it didn't solve the issue

jeffbcross · 2016-09-19T18:47:05Z

@alexeagle and I have tracked down the issue. None of our .d.ts files include any imports from firebase, which is causing node_modules/firebase/firebase.d.ts never to be loaded. If firebase.d.ts ever gets loaded, it would add firebase to the ambient typings and make these errors go away. I'm going to refactor all of our modules to properly import from firebase instead of relying on ambient typings.

In the meantime, you should be able to work around this problem by adding a reference to your project's entry file pointing directly to firebase.d.ts

/// <reference path="node_modules/firebase/firebase.d.ts" />

k1ng440 · 2016-09-20T15:04:36Z

i tried to add
/// <reference path="node_modules/firebase/firebase.d.ts" /> to main.ts, typings.d.ts and app.module.ts. none of them solves this issue

thanks

mukesh51 · 2016-09-20T16:30:23Z

Try adding it into "files" list in the tsconfig.json

alexeagle · 2016-09-20T17:52:45Z

@k1ng440 is that the right relative path, or does it need some ../ on the front?

dmastag · 2016-09-20T18:06:11Z

@k1ng440 I solved it by either adding

import * as firebase from 'firebase';

or

///

on top of node_modules\angularfire2\angularfire2.d.ts

As mentioned over here ->
#486 (comment)

For non-Windows users this should be solved by adding firebase into the types array of your tsconfig file.

k1ng440 · 2016-09-20T18:11:48Z

i have both in app.modules.ts and it doesn't work :(

dmastag · 2016-09-20T18:16:13Z

@k1ng440 Try changing the angularfire2.d.ts file directly like I mentioned

k1ng440 · 2016-09-21T12:00:18Z

Hi,
Yes i have used ../ but still doesn't help me

/// <reference path="../../node_modules/firebase/firebase.d.ts" />

mukesh51 · 2016-09-21T21:57:14Z

@jeffbcross Hopefully, this should remove the need to add firebase entry in types arrays in 'src/tsconfig.json' ?

jeffbcross · 2016-09-21T21:58:46Z

@mukesh51 yep!

csotomon · 2016-10-06T21:38:10Z

Hi, is this fixed in the npm package?

k1ng440 · 2016-10-06T22:26:35Z

@csotomon yes

dont add to tsconfig.json and you should be fine

csotomon · 2016-10-07T14:20:03Z

In mac OS X works perfect, but in Windows 10 dont.

Tried adding

and got this these errors instead:

mukesh51 · 2016-11-02T11:14:04Z

@lednhatkhanh try removing the import * as firebase from 'firebase'; from angularfire.d.ts and then restart ng serve

soccio · 2016-11-03T07:29:53Z

@mukesh51 Removing all the "import * as firebase from 'firebase';" added to commit/c3a954c worked for me.

chrste90 · 2016-11-03T07:53:13Z

I think a better idea is to delete firebase from @types folder.

bogacg · 2016-11-03T11:05:45Z

In my case, just removing firebase from types array in tsconfig.json did not fix this issue, but also I had to remove import 'firebase' from vendor.ts file.
Which reminds me an issue I've previously reported #521

razvantomegea · 2016-11-15T11:28:10Z

npm install --save angularfire2 firebase
In tsconfig.json add:

"files": [
      "../node_modules/firebase/firebase.d.ts"
    ]

In anglar-cli.json file add:

"scripts": [
        "../node_modules/firebase/firebase.js",
]

And in typings.d.ts file add:

declare var System: any;
declare var require: any;
declare var module: any;

Close the server and re-run ng serve
There is no need to install @types/firebase and add firebase to types array

@EnricoPicci the fix should be in beta.6. Are you sure that is being used?

EnricoPicci · 2016-12-18T08:37:54Z

I removed 'firebase' from the "types" of typings.d.ts and the error disappeared.
This was already suggested as a solution in this thread but, for reasons which are not clear to me, it did not work before in my case.
Thanks for the support

Had the same error after upgrading nodejs on Windows 10 to v.8.9.3. Using Angulafire v.5.0.0-rc.4

Fixed it by removing
import * as firebase from 'firebase/app';
from
node_modules\angularfire2\firebase.app.module.d.ts

@meanMonk,

I had the same issue last night, I was able to resolve it by rolling the firebase dependency back to 4.6.0. I didn’t get to look into the root cause of the differences between 4.6.0 definitions and 4.8.1 definitions, but this definitely solved it for me.

jahmani · 2017-12-19T14:28:35Z

Thank you very much @meanMonk , you saved my time, faced the same issue after upgrading ionic2 project.
resolved by rolling the firebase dependency back to 4.6.0

meanMonk · 2017-12-19T15:20:31Z

@giannico ,
Can you please share the version of angularfire2 which you are using in your project as well?

meanMonk · 2017-12-19T16:12:00Z

Thank you, @giannico .
Issue resolved now.
I really appreciate your help.

huuquyasb · 2017-12-20T02:29:17Z

@giannico Thanks. I changed 4.8.0 to 4.6.0 in package.json and run "npm install" => Now it working.

nueko · 2017-12-20T02:32:09Z

@huuquyasb what about npm exact option?

npm i -E [email protected]

Methodician · 2017-12-20T03:34:04Z

@giannico I spent like half the day battling this! At least it got me to update most of my packages in the process... THANKS!

I hope they get things fixed up. Hate to leave a package a few versions back.

bogacg · 2017-12-20T08:38:55Z

I don't see the need to go back to 4.6.0. Like @nueko said, 4.8.0 works as well.

NilsNaegele · 2017-12-20T12:45:29Z

I have tried everything on this thread: newest version of everything angular here: i want to deploy.

4 weeks ago this exact same setup worked like a charm in atom. now switched to vscode.

nueko · 2017-12-20T12:53:42Z

@NilsNaegele have you tried to delete the node_modules directory? or further also delete the .lock file
then run

npm install
// then 
npm install --save-exact firebase
// or
yarn
// then
yarn add -E firebase

NilsNaegele · 2017-12-20T13:16:05Z

redid everything and now it works. deleted the .lock file. @nueko thanks.

natrayanp · 2017-12-20T14:43:25Z

Nothing worked but going back to "firebase":"4.6.0" worked

nueko · 2017-12-20T16:59:17Z

@natrayanp don't forget to verify the installation by npm list firebase

moi-j · 2017-12-21T21:33:44Z

Same error. Going back to 4.6.0.

uceph · 2017-12-25T04:05:21Z

npm install [email protected] --save-dev
