Cannot update @angular/fire from v7 to next version

[pbodlev]

Version info

Angular: 16.2.12

Firebase:

AngularFire: 7.6.1

Other (e.g. Ionic/Cordova, Node, browser, operating system):

OS: MacOS Sonoma 14.0

How to reproduce these conditions

I am trying to update my angular version from 16.x up to 17. One of the prerequirements is to update @angular/fire up to v17.

 ng update
 Using package manager: yarn
 Collecting installed dependencies...
 Found 29 dependencies.
 We analyzed your package.json, there are some packages to update:


  Name                               Version                  Command to update
 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  @angular/cli                       16.1.8 -> 16.2.10        ng update @angular/cli
  @angular/core                      16.2.8 -> 16.2.12        ng update @angular/core
  @angular/fire                      7.6.1 -> 16.0.0          ng update @angular/fire

Debug output

I have tried to use ng update @angular/fire

but getting this error

This one is expected, because there are versions between 7 and 17. However when I tried to install next version (16) it gives me same error. I also tried to update it to v8, but it seems that v8 do not exist according to https://www.npmjs.com/package/@angular/fire?activeTab=versions and also based on this issue.

Expected behavior

Update @angular/fire to next version (v16)

Actual behavior

yarn think that next version is 8 but there is no such version

This issue does not seem to follow the issue template. Make sure you provide all the required information.

I just had the same issue. Can't confirm but I believe the issue is because v7.6.1 and v16.0.0 are virtually the same version, so this would not be a real update.
Anyway, as a workaround you can just change the version manually in package.json and run npm install.

I think issue is that for some reason npm (yarn) think that next version after 7 is 8 (simple increment). However next version is 16 and when I try to update @angular/fire to version 8 new error appears telling that there no such version, which is true.

Workaround works for me, thanx!
