I used this link to upgrade my simple angular frontend to Angular 7:
While updating i got several warnings for package.json and polyfills.ts files:

And I also have this error from typescript (3.0.1):
Error:Initialization error (angular 2 language service). Cannot read property 'CommandTypes' of undefined
Can anyone suggest a workaround how to fix these dependency warnings and typescript error? Do I need to change the dependencies manually? If yes I would need an example how to...
The problem is you don't have the latest version for those two packages.
Codelyzer to the latest version. ng update --all should do it, otherwise you can also edit your package.json by hand.You can see here that the latest version (4.5.0) of this package has been made compatible with Angular 7, so you need to use it instead of your 4.2.1 version.
@ngtools/webpack, you need to use the latest version (see here, it is 7.0.2). It is likely you don't have this one explicitly in your packages.json, so you may just need to do a npm cache clean -f before running ng update.If this still doesn't work, I suggest you remove your node_modules directory, it will force npm install to rebuild all from the latest versions on the repository, given you correctly updated your package.json (by hand or through ng update).
