Ensure you use the same version of angular/animations comparing with core.

They're the same in my case – Kyle Burkett Aug 15 '18 at 20:50
@KyleBurkett we are facing some issues with the latest version of angular animations so roll back to 6.0.5 `npm install --save @angular/animations@6.0.5` – Prabhu Anand Feb 10 '19 at 18:54

@angular/core and @angular/animations should be same version. Especially look for "^" symbol in package name in package.json.

It should be

"@angular/core": "6.0.5", "@angular/animations": "6.0.5",

and not like

"@angular/core": "6.0.5", "@angular/animations": "^6.0.5",
