Angular CLI incompatibility
Hi @Siedlerchr
thanks for the grate job,
We have some problem with this package and the ng update command.
We have filled an issue to the Angular CLI team https://github.com/angular/angular-cli/issues/28373
but it was closed as not planned.
Basically Angular ng update not resolving the correct NPM package because of the NPM alias that your repo use for installation.
Do you have any possible suggestion for a workaround?
Have you tried uninstalling, updating, and then reinstalling again?
npm uninstall @types/ol-ext
ng update
npm i -D @types/ol-ext@npm:@siedlerchr/types-ol-ext

npm uninstall @types/ol-ext ng update npm i -D @types/ol-ext@npm:@siedlerchr/types-ol-ext
yes it is the workaroud that we currently use to update angular.. but it is quite strange and cumbersome as a thing. I think it would be enough to provide your types via https://github.com/DefinitelyTyped/DefinitelyTyped but I don't know in detail how to do it
I am sorry, the https://www.npmjs.com/package/types-ol-ext does not belong to me, it was registered by someone else, I have no idea
You're right @Siedlerchr, looking with npm owner ls types-ol-ext I actually see that the bundle belongs to a certain Anthony Bourque.
It would be nice to try to contact him to try to get the ownership back.
Anyway thanks for the work, but we were forced to remove the dependency on types-ol-ext from our project because of the issue.
In case in the future we will gladly reinsert it.
Thanks again
