Angular 18.2.13 and CLI version 19.0.5 incompatibility

[georgianastasov]

Description

When creating a new project using igniteui-cli and selecting Angular, the process fails due to a version mismatch. The error occurs when Ignite UI CLI (14.3.6) attempts to start the project with Angular CLI version 19.0.5, but Angular core version 18.2.13 is found instead.

Environment Details:

• Ignite UI CLI version: 14.3.6
• Angular CLI version: 19.0.5
• Framework: Angular
• Project type: Ignite UI for Angular (igx-ts)

The error suggests updating Angular to align with CLI version 19.

Steps to reproduce

1. Run ig new and choose:
   • Framework: Angular
   • Project Type: Ignite UI for Angular
   • Template: Side navigation + login
2. Choose "Complete & Run" to initialize and start the project.
3. Observe the build output.

Result

The following error appears after attempting to ng serve:

This version of CLI is only compatible with Angular versions ^19.0.0,
but Angular version 18.2.13 was found instead.

The project fails to start due to Angular version incompatibility.

Expected result

The Ignite UI CLI should correctly initialize and start the project without any Angular version conflicts, ensuring compatibility with Angular CLI version 19.0.5.
