When I try to run ng serve command in my project it produce the below error.
ERROR in ngcc is already running at process with id xxxx
Try deleting your ngcc_lock_file
in the path: node_modules/@angular/compiler-cli/ngcc/ngcc_lock_file
.
Or for Angular 9, the lock file to delete is node_modules/@angular/compiler-cli/ngcc/__ngcc_lock_file__
.
I had the same issue and I and deleted that file and it started working for me.
I hope it helps!
