After I updated my Angular project's version from 5 to 7, I was getting a lot of vulnerabilities, to fix it - I ran all the commands that was suggested in the "npm audit" and all the vulnerabilities was fixed.

But now when I run:

ng serve

I get this error:

ERROR in node_modules/protractor/built/ptor.d.ts(33,17): error TS2307: Cannot find module './selenium-webdriver/lib/input'.

Edit

If I get in to the errors sources I can see the problem line:

// node_modules/protractor/built/ptor.d.ts
 Key: import("./selenium-webdriver/lib/input").IKey;

and if I change the line to:

 Key: import("../../selenium-webdriver/lib/input").IKey;

it's fix the error.

I guess it's a versions issue, but now remains to find out what the correct versions.

This is my package.json file:

Any ideas why?

It looks like the problem is with the package with @types:

https://github.com/angular/protractor/issues/5192

Maybe try use previous version for example: @types/selenium-webdriver@2.53.33

1. Backup your code including node_modules folder


2. Remove node_modules folder and package-lock.json file


3. 
   

   Run the following command in root folder of the application

   
   
   

   npm i
   
   ng serve
   

   
   

Can you try these two commands in terminal to ensure that all the packages are installed:

npm i selenium-webdriver --save and npm i

which is also same as

npm install selenium-webdriver --save and npm install

I've got the same error. It is only happened because somehow I added the following line to one of my controller.ts file:

 import element from 'protractor';

After I removed that line, the problem was solved.
