Error: Cannot find module '@angular/compiler-cli/linker'

Question

I'm using gitlab to build a Docker image from an Angular application. This always worked fine but for some reason the build breaks since yesterday during

RUN node_modules/.bin/ng build --configuration=staging

with the following error message:

    Compiling @angular/material/grid-list : es2015 as esm2015
    (node:1) UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: TypeError: angularCompiler.getDiagnosticsForFile is not a function

    Warning: /opt/ng/src/environments/environment.test.ts is part of the TypeScript compilation but it's unused.
    Add only entry points to the 'files' or 'include' properties in your tsconfig.
    ./src/main.ts - Error: Module build failed (from ./node_modules/@angular-devkit/build-angular/src/babel/webpack-loader.js):
    Error: Cannot find module '@angular/compiler-cli/linker'

tsconfig, main.ts, package.json, Dockerfile ... haven't been changed for quite a while now so I'm clueless why this is suddenly no longer working. Any hints appreciated!

It could be a GitLab-CI caching issue.

In your Dockerfile, see if you can add some cleanup commands:

RUN npm cache clean --force && \
rm -r node_modules && \
npm uninstall angular-cli && \
npm install --save-dev @angular/cli@latest && \

See if the issue persists then.
