'ng serve' Module build failed

[douglas168Participant]

Hi,

I am using:

Angular 5.2.0
Typescript 2.5.3

and I followed the steps on https://www.jqwidgets.com/angular-components-documentation/documentation/angular-cli/angular-cli.htm to use jqxGrid.

When I ran ‘ng serve’, I get the following:

ERROR in ./node_modules/jqwidgets-scripts/jqwidgets-ts/angular_jqxgrid.ts
Module build failed: Error: /[Project Folder]/node_modules/jqwidgets-scripts/jqwidgets-ts/angular_jqxgrid.ts is missing from the TypeScript compilation. Please make sure it is in your tsconfig via the ‘files’ or ‘include’ property.
The missing file seems to be part of a third party library. TS files in published libraries are often a sign of a badly packaged library. Please open an issue in the library repository to alert its author and ask them to package the library using the Angular Package Format (https://goo.gl/jB3GVv).

Hi all,

After googling and trying out different solutions, using ‘ng serve –aot’ seems to fix the problem but don’t know why.

FYI,

In case others have same problem.

Hi douglas168,

Have you included the angular_jqxgrid.ts file in your package.json, as the error says?

Best Regards,
Ivo
