angularfire2 5.0.0-rc-6.0 compatibility with firebase 4.13.1

[rezamohamed]

angularfire2 documentation has the following installation statement.

  npm install firebase angularfire2 --save

By default, this installs angularfire2 5.0.0-rc-6.0 and firebase 4.13.1.

When using firebase in a component

   import * as firebase from 'firebase';

I get the following error message on ng build/ng serve:

ERROR in node_modules/angularfire2/firebase.app.module.d.ts(10,22): error TS2420: Class 'FirebaseApp' incorrectly implements interface 'FirebaseApp'.
Property 'automaticDataCollectionEnabled' is missing in type 'FirebaseApp'.

SOLUTION: install firebase 4.12.1 - the error message does not show with this version.

Looks like they're working on the resolving this with #1572.

Add the line "automaticDataCollectionEnabled: boolean;" to the firebase.app.module.d.ts. ensure you have "@firebase/app" as well

Got the solution from Elizabeth

This new version of AngularFire (v5) does include a Messaging Module? I had the same issue that the OP, but then I installed @angular/app and then i got another error : "ERROR TypeError: firebase.messaging is not a function"

ERR: Property 'automaticDataCollectionEnabled' is missing in type 'FirebaseApp'.

just add "automaticDataCollectionEnabled: boolean;" to FirebaseApp interface in file: firebase.app.module.d.ts located in your firebase node_modules

    automaticDataCollectionEnabled: boolean;

export declare class FirebaseApp implements FBApp {
    automaticDataCollectionEnabled: boolean; // add this line
    name: string;
    options: {};
    auth: () => FirebaseAuth;
    database: () => FirebaseDatabase;
    messaging: () => FirebaseMessaging;
    storage: () => FirebaseStorage;
    delete: () => Promise<any>;
    firestore: () => FirebaseFirestore;
}

It seems this is not fixed in the release. Any ideas of when it will be fixed?

After adding automaticDataCollectionEnabled: boolean;

these errors:
ERROR in ./node_modules/angularfire2/database/database.module.js
Module not found: Error: Can't resolve '@firebase/database' in 'C:\Users\aaa\node_modules\angularfire2\database'
ERROR in ./node_modules/angularfire2/firestore/firestore.module.js
Module not found: Error: Can't resolve '@firebase/firestore' in 'C:\Users\aaa\node_modules\angularfire2\firestore'

.... but helped deleting firebase folders from node_modules and npm install

[gfaganli]

1. npm uninstall firebase
2. npm clean cache --force
3. npm install firebase@4.12.1
   That one solves problem without manually editing node-modules.

As the fix as already been committed at f2cf159 is there any date scheduled for a proper release of a new version?

[talbronfer]

Can you please close this PR so we can solve the problem? It's really a small fix and would really help. Thanks.

[andregomars]

Please fix it asap

[EdricChan03]

Any updates? I have an app that has the @next version of angularfire2, as well as firebase version 4.13.1. Please fix ASAP.
