TypeError: Unable to get property 'ngMetadataName' of undefined or null reference on IE 10


In IE 10, I got the following error: (but OK in IE 11)

TypeError: Unable to get property 'ngMetadataName' of undefined or null reference

The property ngMetadataName has been found in vendor.js.

The polyfills.ts is as the following:

  /*******************************************************************************

/** IE9, IE10 and IE11 requires all of the following polyfills. **/
import 'core-js/es6/symbol';

Can you please suggest how to resolve this for IE 10.

Thanks


Solution

  • I have updated the angular-cli from 6.0.8 to 6.2.3 (Latest) and it solved the above error.
