Question

I am in process migrating Angular 5 project to Angular 6.

While starting application by

npm start

 ** Angular Live Development Server is listening on localhost: 9000, 
open your browser on http://localhost:9000/ **
91% additional asset processing scripts-webpack-plugin× ｢wdm｣:

I tried

npm install jquery --save

Answer 1

Once again the angular team makes things harder for not real reason =(

I had this problem and after Googling around fruitlessly I wondered if they had changed relative paths somehow as well as renaming angular-cli.json.

A little further up in the file I found the line:

Yeah, just change:

"../node_modules/jquery/dist/jquery.js",
"../node_modules/tether/dist/js/tether.js",
"../node_modules/bootstrap/dist/js/bootstrap.js"

to

"./node_modules/jquery/dist/jquery.js",
"./node_modules/tether/dist/js/tether.js",
"./node_modules/bootstrap/dist/js/bootstrap.js"
