This error is caused by an old version (< 9.0.0) of @angular-devkit/architect being used. It doesn't appear to be present in the dependencies. However, one of the third-party dependencies may be including it. Are there any third-party builders being used in the project? From the version output, the following also doesn't appear correct and should both be 9.0.0:

@angular-devkit/schematics         7.3.9
@schematics/angular                7.3.9

This also may be due to one or more of the third-party dependencies not being fully compatible with newer versions of Angular.

One thing that can be tried in situations like this is to completely remove the node_modules directory along with any lock files (package-lock.json or yarn.lock) and reinstalling.

[cah-alexsukhodolsky]

@clydin Deleting the node_modules directory and yarn.lock file fixed the issue. Thank you!

[Lightras]

In my case, we didn't try to upgrade to Angular 9, but the @angular-devkit/build-angular version in package.json became ^0.900.1, which seems not suitable for Angular 8. So what worked for me was downgrading this dependency to the fixed version we used before (0.803.8)

And yes, I've tried deleting and reinstalling the node_modules directory - this didn't help

[AnkitEncom]

Same issue i have found in my newly created project.

npm WARN deprecated core-js@2.6.11: core-js@<3 is no longer maintained and not recommended for usage due to the number of issues. Please, upgrade your dependencies to the actual version of core-js@3.

How can i solve this issue.

[dlockliear]

After running ng update, I realized I hadn't updated @angular/cli (8.0.6) -> 9.0.2... ng update @anuglar/cli worked for me.

That was the only solution to solve this issue for us. For others: Check the latest version of @angular-devkit/build-angular @0.803.x here.
Best way to archive this: "@angular-devkit/build-angular": "0.803"

It appears that the some versions of the v8 @angular-devkit/build-angular (I was on 0.803.21) has a security vulnerability which is causing an "npm audit fix" to update it to 0.900.*, which isn't a compatible change. Need to move to 0.803.25 instead of the npm audit fix solution and both the error and the security warning are resolved.

Just happened to me, npm audit fix automatically upgraded @angular-devkit/build-angular to v9, which doesn't work on a Angular v8 project. Cheers @OceansideBill, manually upgraded to 0.803.25 and serve works again
