I have the same issue with Angular 14.

Maybe related to a babel dependecy which was uploaded an hour ago?

alan-agius4 · 2023-07-06T10:19:15Z

This seems to be indeed caused by a change (intentional or not) in Babel which is breaking the Angular linker.

path.hub which is accessed in https://github.com/angular/angular/blob/5d11844a7c31df56d2b97e3aa6cd1a70b5fccc70/packages/compiler-cli/linker/babel/src/es2015_linker_plugin.ts#L40 appears to be undefined.

CondensedMilk7 · 2023-07-06T10:25:43Z

I am experiencing the same issue.

Interestingly, I downgraded to angular 15 globally, and creating a new project results in the same build error.

versions in package.json:

    "@angular/animations": "^15.2.0",
    "@angular/common": "^15.2.0",

    "typescript": "~4.9.4"
  }

codingsamuel · 2023-07-06T10:28:05Z

A temporary fix would be:

"@babel/generator": "7.22.5",
"@babel/parser": "7.22.5",
"@babel/traverse": "7.22.5"

mbenzenhoefer · 2023-07-06T10:34:44Z

I have the same issue with v15.2.9

beohoang98 · 2023-07-06T10:59:17Z

I have same issue on ~14.2.0

hambra · 2023-07-06T11:12:01Z

same here with v16 :(

Rahul-kalsha · 2023-07-06T11:16:59Z

Getting same issue in Angular 15.2.9

meraj-markettime · 2023-07-06T11:20:18Z

Getting same issue in Angular 15.2.9

thaoula · 2023-07-06T11:40:29Z

As suggested here -
babel/babel#15752

Can you try and add this to package.json
"overrides": {
"@babel/traverse": "7.22.6"
},

thanoskoutr · 2023-07-06T11:40:29Z

Getting the same issue with latest Angular v14 (14.2.12).

hambra · 2023-07-06T11:51:00Z

live example for angular also failing with the same error
https://stackblitz.com/run?file=src%2Fapp%2Fapp.component.html

Alfxjx · 2023-07-06T11:54:07Z

WARN deprecated @babel/traverse@7.22.7: [WARNING] Use 7.22.6 instead of 7.22.7, reason: babel/babel#15752

use pnpm i and found this waring, use the overrides and it fixed

"overrides": {
  "@babel/traverse": "7.22.6"
},

Sapython · 2023-07-06T11:54:25Z

I am facing this issue too.

Checked this in v15 and v16

VKAlwaysWin · 2023-07-06T11:59:33Z

Same for us (latest Angular 13)

prnkrawat · 2023-07-06T12:01:01Z

I am also facing this issue while creating the new project.

VedantBTS · 2023-07-06T12:12:59Z

I am also facing the same issue when I created new project but for older created projects the issue is not there.

Isabelcasmot · 2023-07-06T12:21:50Z

I have the same issue and I tried the :
"overrides": {
"@babel/traverse": "7.22.6"
},

on package.json but is not working

vampirepapi · 2023-07-06T12:24:59Z

I have the same issue and I tried the : "overrides": { "@babel/traverse": "7.22.6" },

on package.json but is not working

try deleting node_modules and npm install and then ng serve
it will work 👯‍♂️

Isabelcasmot · 2023-07-06T12:27:36Z

I tried tha also, the issue is still there :(

VedantBTS · 2023-07-06T12:28:34Z

I also tried by deleting node_modules and npm install and then ng serve, but it's not working for me too

nicolo-ribaudo · 2023-07-06T12:29:19Z

Wait 10 minutes, I'm releasing a Babel patch (7.22.8 of @babel/core and @babel/traverse) that hopefully fixes this.

vampirepapi · 2023-07-06T12:29:56Z

strange, worked for me btw

vampirepapi · 2023-07-06T12:30:39Z

jcbuilds · 2023-07-06T12:30:54Z

I'm also facing the same issue with Angular 15.1.6.

alan-agius4 · 2023-07-06T12:34:55Z

This issue has been caused @babel/traverse@7.22.7, the Babel team has reverted the change that caused this bug via babel/babel#15754 and released a new version @babel/traverse@7.22.8. (Thanks @nicolo-ribaudo).

Please ensure to remove NPM "overrides" and Yarn "resolutions" from your package.json and sync the lock file. The easier way would be to delete node_modules, yarn.lock and package-lock.json.

$ rm -rf node_modules yarn.lock package-lock.json

Windows users:

npx rimraf -rf node_modules yarn.lock package-lock.json

If after the above you are are still encountering this problem and you are not using the public NPM repository, make sure that your NPM mirror is synced.

nicolo-ribaudo · 2023-07-06T12:37:13Z

Babel 7.22.8 released -- the steps listed in the original issue description (#25496 (comment)) now succesfully create and build an Angular project.

Please make sure to update @babel/core and @babel/traverse to 7.22.8!

ocombe · 2023-07-06T12:40:56Z

Please make sure to update @babel/core and @babel/traverse to 7.22.8!

I can confirm that it works now with the new version of babel traverse (automatically installed, no need to change anything to the original config)

alan-agius4 · 2023-07-06T12:42:34Z

Closing as this issue has been resolved upstream and confirmed that the fix works.
See: #25496 (comment).
