Error: inject() must be called from an injection context

I am using @angular/cli@8.2.4, but the error happens as well in 8.0.1 (for me)

To reproduce it, I just had to follow the steps in “Getting started” section. After ng serve, the build runs well but the console outputs : Error: CollectionService requires AngularFirestore

But I am injecting AngularFirestoreModule in AppModule, and I imported it in the service as well. My code does not differ from documentation, that is :

import { Injectable } from '@angular/core';
import { MovieStore, MovieState } from './movie.store';
import { AngularFirestore } from '@angular/fire/firestore';
import { CollectionConfig, CollectionService } from 'akita-ng-fire';

@Injectable({ providedIn: 'root' })
@CollectionConfig({ path: 'movies' })
export class MovieService extends CollectionService<MovieState> {

  constructor(store: MovieStore) {
    super(store);
  }

}

I tried to inject AngularFirestore service in constructor too, but it was not better.

So, I installed the project from source to output the real error and it was Error: inject() must be called from an injection context Seems linked to this - still open - angular issue, but the proposed workaround does not work for me. I am having a hard time trying to understand this error.

EDIT: Here is how to easily reproduce it:

- ng new angular-test
- cd angular-test
- ng add @angular/fire
- ng add @datorama/akita
- ng g feature movies/movies
- (inject moviesService into app component constructor)
- ng serve

If necessary, I will add a stackblitz soon to reproduce this.

I was trying to do something similar to akita-ng-fire, but your project is way better. I would be glad to use it in our application, since you added atomic writings. This will be an essential tool for angularfire developers. Thumbs up 👍

NB: would be interesting to output the real error (or make a logger debug level) in addition to your error logs

I finally found out what happened, that was dumb. When using linked local library, we always put the library in an external project. But we found out in this issue that it is normally not working (don’t know why it worked until here with our other old librairies), and so the inject() method was not working.

I just put the npm linked librairies into the project/ directory and it’s working like a charm now, sorry for having bothered you. I can send PR to akita-ng-fire now 😃

@loicmarie haha, I had the same issue, thanks for your investigation. I just wasted about 4 hours to find the cause of issue…
