v4: upgrade to alpha.8 seems to broken

[mburger81]

Describe the Bug
Upgrading only @ionic/core to alpha.8 does not work as expected. We are running into this errors

ERROR in node_modules/@ionic/core/dist/types/components/gesture-controller/gesture-controller.d.ts(1,30): error TS2307: Cannot find module '@stencil/core'.
[ng] node_modules/@ionic/core/dist/types/components/menu/menu.d.ts(1,51): error TS2307: Cannot find module '@stencil/core'.

Probably there is something missing? Can you also update your starter templates with latest requirements?

Thanks for the issue! Alpha 8 is definitely broken. We don't recommend using it at this time. We're currently working on getting an alpha.9 out to fix these errors.

after adding @stencil/core, I am getting this error:

[brandyscarney]

We have released an alpha.9 version that should be working much better. We're going to be releasing an alpha.10 with some more fixes later today. Let me know if you still see these particular errors with alpha.9 though! Thanks!

@brandyscarney, will the CLI pull the alpha.9 when running ionic start? I know that is a separate repo, but just wondering if we should start a new app (and move files there since there were updates to other Ionic packages) or if simply updating package.json will work?

And thanks for that super speedy update, wow! 😄

[brandyscarney]

@MT-- Yes we have updated the starters to use alpha.9! If you ever want to compare your app to the current base you can find the starter here: https://github.com/ionic-team/starters/tree/master/angular/base

You should be able to update the version number and import the new external css files and be good to go. If you are just using @ionic/core without angular it would be the following imports:

@import "~@ionic/core/css/normalize.css";
@import "~@ionic/core/css/structure.css";
@import "~@ionic/core/css/typography.css";
@import "~@ionic/core/css/colors.css";

@import "~@ionic/core/css/padding.css";
@import "~@ionic/core/css/float-elements.css";
@import "~@ionic/core/css/text-alignment.css";
@import "~@ionic/core/css/text-transformation.css";
@import "~@ionic/core/css/flex-utils.css";

and the @ionic/angular version will be the following, but we found that the css didn't get published for this package, so we're working to get a new release out with it published. 😓

@import "~@ionic/angular/css/normalize.css";
@import "~@ionic/angular/css/structure.css";
@import "~@ionic/angular/css/typography.css";
@import "~@ionic/angular/css/colors.css";

@import "~@ionic/angular/css/padding.css";
@import "~@ionic/angular/css/float-elements.css";
@import "~@ionic/angular/css/text-alignment.css";
@import "~@ionic/angular/css/text-transformation.css";
@import "~@ionic/angular/css/flex-utils.css";

In the meantime pointing to the @ionic/core for the css (my first code block) should work.

@brandyscarney Thank you (all) so much! I know what you're doing is not the most fun part of development, but I really appreciate it!

Hello! Thanks for helping us test Ionic V4. I am closing this issue for now as it was fixed in the alpha.10 release. To update to alpha.10 you can run npm install @ionic/angular@4.0.0-alpha.10 --save-exact. Thanks!

[mburger81]

@brandyscarney @jgw96 Your starter imports the css files from the wrong repo, I created a PR for this issue ionic-team/starters#320
