Bug Report

Updating to the version 1.0.0-beta.3-1 produces an error in the console due to some dependencies of Flex Layout

npm ERR! peer dep missing: @angular/common@^2.3.5, required by @angular/flex-layout@2.0.0-beta.7
npm ERR! peer dep missing: @angular/core@^2.3.5, required by @angular/flex-layout@2.0.0-beta.7
npm ERR! peer dep missing: zone.js@^0.7.2, required by @angular/flex-layout@2.0.0-beta.7

This should be solved when @angular/flex-layout updates to Angular 4. See angular/flex-layout#254

What is the expected behavior?

Installs without errors.

Which version of Angular and Material, and which browser and OS does this issue affect?

@angular/cli: 1.0.0
node: 6.9.5
os: darwin x64

@pdjota As you mentioned this should be solved when @angular/flex-layout is updated.

[pdjota]

yes, but perhaps you could label it as FAQs because it is not clear when Flex Layout would be updated. @asaph26

Huh, flex-layout has them as dependencies instead of peerDependencies. Since we are removing CovalentCoreModule, we will probably remove flex-layout as dependency. And have people import this on a need basis.

At first we intended to use it in our components, but choose not to so we could reduce the bundle size a bit.

I also get an error. Says I should update node/npm, but I have the minimum requirements.

@aderito7 thats a diff issue with the postinstall hook.

this command is failing webdriver-manager update && ./scripts/protractor.sh

Which could be any number of things, since its a protractor config step.

We are removing the dependency since CovalentCoreModule was removed, and this dependency is not needed anymore.

Should be fixed in beta.4
