Interface 'HTMLIonIconElement' cannot simultaneously extend types 'IonIc on' and-CodePudding

I have just upgraded my angular ionic app to use angular v13 from angular 12 by running ng update. The update was successful but now I am unable to run the app with below errors

[ng] Error: node_modules/ionicons/dist/types/components.d.ts:66:15 - error TS2320: Interface 'HTMLIonIconElement' cannot simultaneously extend types 'IonIc

The problem is that all the files being complained about are in the node_modules directory. How can I resolve this?

CodePudding user response：

It seems that ng update updated the typescript version to 4.4, but ionic ion-icon seems to be incompatible with this version of typescript.

The current fix I used was to revert back to typescript version 4.3.5

How to perform this downgrade :

update your package.json -> replace : "typescript": "~4.4.4" with "typescript": "~4.3.5"

then run -> npm install

If someone has more information about the root cause of this incompatibility and an other way of solving this, I am very much interested since I very much would like to upgrade to typescript 4.4.

CodePudding user response：

Well, the trick replacing the version worked! For me, the issue was triggered when I wanted to build the app, then came up the message for upgrade from angular 12 to 13. After that some error about no recognizing angular modules showed up.

Now I have no error launching tests, but I got the error "has been blocked by CORS policy" when the app is trying to reach the services.

Any further feedback will be appreciated.
