SocketIO Issue With Bazel + Angular

The ts_devserver doesn't seem to work with socket.io-client out of the box

Setup

yarn install

What Works

yarn prod

SocketIO works perfectly fine, server runs on http://localhost:8080

The Issue

yarn dev

Results in this error in the Browser console (http://localhost:4200).

It is caused by xmlhttprequest-ssl which is a dependency of engine.io-client and it is needed by ngx-socket-io
