Angular 6 - can't resolve all parameters for AppComponent

Question

I am trying to build an application with Angular 6 and I am still setting everything up. But it seems there is something wrong with the dependency injection in my app.

It cannot resolve any constructor parameter. They all result in Uncaught Error: Can't resolve all parameters for AppComponent: (?).. Even a custom service results in the same error.

Versions (omitted the dependencies that can't have any influence on this)

 "dependencies": {
    "@angular/common": "6.0.5",
    "@angular/compiler": "6.0.5",
    "@angular/core": "6.0.5",
    "@angular/forms": "6.0.5",
    "@angular/http": "6.0.5",
    "@angular/platform-browser": "6.0.5",
    "@angular/platform-browser-dynamic": "6.0.5",
    "@angular/router": "6.0.5",
    "core-js": "2.5.7",
    "reflect-metadata": "0.1.12",
    "rxjs": "6.2.1",

app.module.ts

@NgModule({
  declarations: [
    AppComponent
  ],
  imports: [
    BrowserModule
  ],
  providers: [],
  bootstrap: [AppComponent]
})
export class AppModule {
}

TestService.ts

import {Injectable} from "@angular/core";

@Injectable({
  providedIn: 'root'
})
export class TestService {

  constructor() {
    console.warn("It works!");
  }

  public sayHello(): string {
    return "hello world!";
  }
}

App.component.ts

import {Component} from '@angular/core';
import {TestService} from "./TestService";

@Component({
  selector: 'sh-home',
  styleUrls: ['./home.scss'],
  templateUrl: './home.html'
})
export class HomeComponent {

  constructor(testService: TestService) {
    testService.sayHello();
  }
}

The injection of the TestService gives the error in this case

Main.ts

import {enableProdMode} from '@angular/core';
import {platformBrowserDynamic} from '@angular/platform-browser-dynamic';

import {AppModule} from './app/app.module';
import './assets/scss/styles.global.scss'; // Import the global scss files

// Polyfills
import './Polyfills';

if (process.env.NODE_ENV === 'production') {
    enableProdMode();
}

platformBrowserDynamic().bootstrapModule(AppModule);

Polyfills.ts

/** IE9, IE10 and IE11 requires all of the following polyfills. **/
import 'core-js/es6/symbol';
import 'core-js/es6/object';
import 'core-js/es6/function';
import 'core-js/es6/parse-int';
import 'core-js/es6/parse-float';
import 'core-js/es6/number';
import 'core-js/es6/math';
import 'core-js/es6/string';
import 'core-js/es6/date';
import 'core-js/es6/array';
import 'core-js/es6/regexp';
import 'core-js/es6/map';
import 'core-js/es6/weak-map';
import 'core-js/es6/set';

/** IE10 and IE11 requires the following for NgClass support on SVG elements */
import 'classlist.js';  // Run `npm install --save classlist.js`.

/** IE10 and IE11 requires the following for the Reflect API. */
import 'core-js/es6/reflect';


/** Evergreen browsers require these. **/
// Used for reflect-metadata in JIT. If you use AOT (and only Angular decorators), you can remove.
import 'core-js/es7/reflect';

/***************************************************************************************************
 * Zone JS is required by default for Angular itself.
 */
import 'zone.js/dist/zone';  // Included with Angular CLI.

I am not using the CLI, but a custom starter. I included all the same polyfills as Angular-CLI does, so I am not missing any.

Does anyone see what I am doing wrong?

Update

I've simplified the test case and noticed that it is not the translation module. Even if I create a simple service I cannot use dependency injection. Adding the service to the providers list doesn't work either (and also shouldn't be necessary, since I am using the Angular 6 'provideIn: root').

Answer 1

Make sure you have following import in polyfills:

import 'core-js/es7/reflect';
