After update to Angular 8 CLI throws “.getColorDep

问题:

A collegue of mine upgraded our project to angular 8. I pulled his branch and run npm install. On his branch everyhing works fine. I do now get the same error every time i run any "ng ..." command:

C:\xxx\party-ui\node_modules\@angular\cli\utilities\color.js:15
    process.stdout.getColorDepth() > 1;
                   ^

    TypeError: process.stdout.getColorDepth is not a function
        at Object.<anonymous> (C:\xxx\party-ui\node_modules\@angular\cli\utilities\color.js:15:20)

I also tried to update npm and node (now having versions 10.16.0 and 6.9.0). Also removed the node_modules folder and run npm install after that. What can I do?

回答1:

Look in the problematic file ./node_modules/@angular/cli/utilities/color.js. Notice a comment above the problematic line (15):

"use strict";
Object.defineProperty(exports, "__esModule", { value: true });

 const colors = require("ansi-colors");
 exports.colors = colors;
 const tty_1 = require("tty");
 // Typings do not contain the function call (added in Node.js v9.9.0)
 exports.supportsColor = process.stdout instanceof tty_1.WriteStream &&
    process.stdout.getColorDepth() > 1;
 colors.enabled = exports.supportsColor;

Specifically:

// Typings do not contain the function call (added in Node.js v9.9.0)

Upgrading Node to a version no less than v9.9.0 fixes the problem.

but...

...choosing how to upgrade NodeJS is not necessairly straightforward. See How do I update Node.js?. Some popular answers are quite far down the page so it's worth scrolling through.

回答2:

had the same error,
my versions:

Angular CLI: 8.1.1
Node: 11.14.0
OS: linux x64
Angular: 8.1.1

run:

rm -rf node_modules
rm -rf package-lock.json
sudo npm cache clean --force
npm install

回答3:

Try deleting package-lock.json and do npm i again

回答4:

Had the error occuring with "@angular/core": "~8.2.3".

I updated the node version to the latest stable version using these commands and it fixed the issue for me in linux

sudo npm cache clean -f
sudo npm install -g n
sudo n stable
