Current behavior

I downloaded the code from the Github, and followed the steps here:
https://docs.squidex.io/01-getting-started/contributing-and-developing/developing

For the frontend npm i just didn’t work, it couldn’t resolve the dependencies, so I tried:
npm i --legacy-peer-deps
which was able to build the project, but when I run the project I got an empty browser page with this error in the console: “Application element not found” which is mean Angular wasn’t able to bootstrap the project.

Expected behavior

the frontend build and run on local environment

How do you run the project? I have the same node version and it works fine for me and also on the build server so I don’t see at the moment what the issue could be.

I’m using npm start to run the project,
the error is happening in AppModule:
caught exception: angular_core__WEBPACK_IMPORTED_MODULE_3_.ɵɵelementStart(…) is not a function

By the way, several of my collogues tried to do the same and get the same error

I am going to delete my node_modules folder and see what happens then.

What happend with a normal npm i?

Thanks for your patience @Sebastian,
I tried npm i to get a fresh screen shot of the error for you but it worked surprisingly, just don’t know what happened.

Anyway this is a screen shot of the error I was getting yesterday when running npm i:

Have you just tried “–force”

ltraccount · July 28, 2022, 5:15pm

No, I tried --legacy-peer-deps, I will try --force if I got the error again
