v0.6.0 release breaks Tour of Heroes tutorial

[mathuin]

I apologize if I missed something along the ways as this is my first venture into JavaScript let alone AngularJS.

I am following along with the Angular Tour of Heroes tutorial, and installed this package as per the instructions:

npm install angular-in-memory-web-api --save

All my calls to getHeroes() returned no data and the error text was undefined.

When I changed my package.json to reference ^0.5.4 instead of ^0.6.0, everything worked as expected. I looked at the release for v0.6.0 and it appears to be for Angular 6 while I am using Angular 5. I suspect that because the release was only three days ago that most folks will not have hit this issue.

While this release appears to have broken the tutorial, I do not believe it is this package's fault. That being said, someone needs to fix something. :-) If this issue belongs somewhere else, please let me know and I will file it there. Thanks!

I've just run into this too. Seems like the tutorial should state which version of angular-in-memory-web-api should be installed based on the installed version of Angular / rxjs.

You could try raising the issue over on the Angular repo to get this part of the documentation updated.

i had same problem in hero tutorial, but i have installed version 0.5.0 and it works
npm install angular-in-memory-web-api@0.5.0

[josephhealy]

Yes, that works but doesn't address the problem.

The 0.5.0 version doesn't works with the Angular CLI 1.7.3 and Compiler CLI 5.2.0 - but the 0.5.4 version does ...

npm install angular-in-memory-web-api@0.5.4 --save

I should have checked this sooner!
With the v0.6.0 I get a 500 error, "object (...) is not a function".

modify package.json to
"angular-in-memory-web-api": "~0.5.0",
and npm install to fix for now

Does anyone know how we can update this section of the heroes tutorial until this is resolved?
https://angular.io/tutorial/toh-pt6#enable-http-services

NOTE: the above command results in 0.5.4 (upvote for @CMiksche ) being installed, which works!

[ram3shyadav]

it works fine with 0.5.4

[josephhealy]

We know it works with 0.5.4, does anyone know why it doesn't work with 0.6.0?

[mathuin]

@healyje I believe it does not work because there were significant changes between Angular v5 and Angular v6, and that some of those changes impacted this API, and that the API got updated before the parts of Angular used in the tutorial.

[josephhealy]

I understand that as well. Will have to look into why though and figure out what's broken
