No provider for HttpClient

angular typescript

After upgrading from angular 4.4 to 5.0 and after updating all HttpModule and Http to HttpClientModule I started to get this error.

I also added HttpModule again to be sure it's not due to some dependency but it doesn't resolve the issue

In app.module, I have all correctly set

import { HttpModule } from '@angular/http';
import { HttpClientModule, HttpClient } from '@angular/common/http';
.
.
.
@NgModule({
    imports: [
        BrowserModule,
        HttpClientModule,
        HttpModule,
        BrowserAnimationsModule,
        FormsModule,
        AppRoutingModule,
.
.
.

I don't know from where this error is coming, or I have no clue how to get inner of it. I also have a warning (put it below too) maybe its related.

To resolve this problem HttpClient is Angular's mechanism for communicating with a remote server over HTTP.

To make HttpClient available everywhere in the app,

  1. open the root AppModule,

  2. import the HttpClientModule from @angular/common/http,

    import { HttpClientModule } from '@angular/common/http';

  3. add it to the @NgModule.imports array.

    imports:[HttpClientModule, ]
