Australian Government Workforce Planning Guide
The Australian Government has released an APS Workforce Planning Guide. This is for planning of jobs in the federal government, formally known as the Australian Public Service (APS). This is timely with government enforced reductions in funding to federal agencies forcing large scale reductions in employment. Without some planning, the cutbacks in jobs could result in an unbalanced workforce, without the necessary skills and experience.
One interesting aspect is that ICT is categorized separately from technical and engineering jobs, although most university have now incorporated their ICT schools into the engineering faculty. There is still some overlap between Information and Knowledge Management, ICT and administrative skills.
The Australian Public Service Commission (APSC) have issued the guide under a Creative Commons license, allowing modification and reuse of the documents by government and private organizations. Unfortunately the APSC has produced the documents for paper publication, with the electronic versions not suited to on-line viewing.
This is a very comprehensive and well written guide. However, the Australian Government does not have any unique workforce planning requirements. As an example, there is nothing which makes a ICT professional working for the Australian government different to one working for state, local government or the private sector. It would be better for the APS to integrate its planning with that of other levels of Australian government and with the private sector, than produce its own unique requirements. As an example, the Open University UK have created SFIA generic IT professional job roles created using the standard skills sets from the Skills Framework for the Information Age.
The APS Workforce Planning Guide consists of:
APS Job Family model
Introduction and how to use the guide
Workforce planning explained
Initiation and planning for workforce planning
Segmenting your workforce
Demand analysis
Supply analysis
Gap analysis and strategy and initiative development
Implementation and monitoring, evaluation, review and adjustment
Here are the Background, Guiding Principles and the ICT job descriptions extracted from the APS Planning Guide, and converted to HTML:
In May 2011, the Australian Public Service Commission held a symposium to discuss workforce planning, in particular the barriers faced by workforce planning practitioners and what the Commission could do to assist agencies implement or improve workforce planning.
The symposium delegates articulated that forecasting workforce supply and demand is difficult without an established system for clearly understanding occupational groupings or skill areas in the workforce. Standard groupings of this sort are at the foundation for understanding workforce shortages, flows, development, and potential risks to business delivery. The 2009-10 State of the Service Agency Survey found that only 29% of APS agencies had a formal skill-based system for classifying occupations this finding highlights significant deficiencies of an essential component of workforce planning.
Agencies indicated that to progress workforce planning across the APS, the APSC could assist by developing a common APS Job Family Model (the model)- means of describing and analysing the workforce with linkages to the broader labour market, with view to identifying high-risk capability areas.
The two key aims of the model are to provide:
a data set that accommodates a large proportion of, if not all job roles performed in the APS; and
linkages with the Australian labour market.
The main reference point for the majority of the functions and roles defined within this model is the Australian and New Zealand Standard Classification of Occupations (ANZSCO). This is to enable the use of labour market information, published by the Australian Bureau of Statistics and the Department of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations, to assess workforce risks.
A practical example of the use of these data sets can be found in the ICT occupational group. The recent focus on workforce planning and the development of an APS ICT Capability Framework, as a result of the government's response to the recommendations of the Gershon Review, has helped agencies define their ICT workforce capability and enabled improved analysis of the external and internal demand and supply factors. The ICT Capability Framework provides a sound foundation for mapping the roles performed within the ICT Job Family to ANZSCO.
The next tranche of work for the model is to continue to collaborate with agencies as they begin implementing the model, to develop definitions for each job function and role to ensure consistency in language and approach to mapping positions across the APS.
The job family model, when viewed across the functions of an organisation, can provide agencies with a deeper view of their workforce, allowing enhanced analysis of the workforce and the associated risks these pose to business deliverables.
The Australian Public Service Workforce Planning Guide Module: Segmenting your workforce provides detail on undertaking a systematic approach to job role profiling.
The model is not mandated for use across the APS, however the development of the model will create efficiencies within an organisation and more broadly across the APS through clear and consistent language and data sets.
The APS Job Family Model:
Groups functionally similar positions that have related skills, tasks and knowledge blocks;
Does not reflect work level; and
Is hierarchical and has four tiers.
The Job Family model aims to be inclusive rather than exclusive.
Roles aim to group positions that have similar core skills or knowledge blocks.
The complexity within a role is defined by the work level standards not by separate roles.
Where a position undertakes a number of job roles, it may be helpful to identify the core purpose of the position, key accountability or criticality to business.
Roles within Strategic Policy are considered separate from internal policy roles which are performed within a specific subject matter. For example, a position that deals with advising an organisation or writing HR policy would sit within the People Family.
Should suit roles that exist now but also have a view to the workforce of the future. ...
ICT roles plan, organise, direct, control, coordinate and support the ICT strategies, plans and operations of an organisation to ensure the ICT infrastructure and software supports the organisation's overall operations and priorities.

March 27, 2015 -Engineers who need to reduce the energy cost of air compressor systems will find the precision ST50 Air Flow Meter helps them more accurately measure compressed air and detect system inefficiencies or expensive leaks.
The ST50 Flow Meter features a wide flow range from 0.75 SFPS to 400 SFPS (0.23 to 122 NMPS) for air, compressed air or nitrogen. Flow meter accuracy is +1% of reading, +0.5% of full scale, with repeatability of +0.5% of reading. The meter operates at temperatures from +40 to 100°F (4 to 38°C).
The ST50's flow range can be field-configured in either standard mass flow or volumetric engineering units. In features dual analog outputs, 4-20 mA and 0-10 Vdc, which are field assignable as flow rate or temperature and an RS232C I/O port. A 0-1kHz pulse output for totalizing flow is also available as an option. All configurations are easily user set in the field with any standard laptop to the RS232C port and/or via the wireless IR link/PDA.
The ST50, featuring a rugged stainless steel sensing element with Hastelloy-C tips, is designed for endurance and maximum performance in outdoor and field installation conditions. Its electronics are housed in an all-aluminum, epoxy-coated enclosure that is NEMA 4X (IP66) rated and it withstands operational pressures up to 500 psig [34 bar (g)].
Three process connections are available for the new ST50 high-accuracy flow meter: 1/2-inch MNPT or 3/4-inch MNPT with a stainless steel or Teflon ferrule. It is available in three field adjustable U-length probes, 6, 12 and 18 inches (152, 305, and 457mm) to accommodate pipe sizes 2 to 124 inches (51 to 610mm). Instrument powering options include both DC (18-36V) and AC (85-265V). The ST50 comes with a 1-year standard warranty.
The versatile ST50 offers the best value in its class, featuring superior performance, low maintenance, ease of installation and a long-life. Whether adding flow measurement to improve the process or replacing high-maintenance flow meters, the ST50 provides an accurate, fast response and no-maintenance solution for compressed air, gas and nitrogen flow measurement. For smaller line sizes under 2 inches (51 mm), FCI's ST75 air/gas flow meter is an ideal choice. To ensure optimum accuracy, performance and quality, FCI owns and operates a best-in-class test and NIST traceable calibration laboratory. FCI product developments are subject to rigorous testing and calibration integrity validation using high-speed data acquisition systems and precision flow calibration equipment.

Q: Making a function which changes the x,y values in a method I am very new to object oriented programming. I have to make a method which moves my drone closer to it's destination however I can't seem to make it work. I have added my code, I have tried to access the first and second value in my tuples position and destination. But this code gives me errors saying that position and destination is not mutable. What am I doing wrong?
module Drones
type Drone(x1:int, y1:int, x2:int, y2:int, spd:int) =
    let mutable position = (x1,y1)
    let mutable destination = (x2,y2)
    let mutable speed = spd
    member x.fly (position,destination) =
        if fst destination - fst position > 0 then position <- (x1+1,y1)
        else if snd destination - snd position > 0 then position <- (x1,y1+1) ```

A: This should work:
module Drones

type Drone(x1:int, y1:int, x2:int, y2:int, spd:int) =
    let mutable position = (x1,y1)
    let mutable destination = (x2,y2)
    let mutable speed = spd
    member x.fly pos dest =
        if fst dest - fst pos > 0 then position <- (x1+1,y1)
        else if snd dest - snd pos > 0 then position <- (x1,y1+1)

Or maybe better to remove the parameters from the fly method:
type Drone(x1:int, y1:int, x2:int, y2:int, spd:int) =
    let mutable position = (x1,y1)
    let mutable destination = (x2,y2)
    let mutable speed = spd
    member x.fly () =
        if fst destination - fst position > 0 then position <- (x1+1,y1)
        else if snd destination - snd position > 0 then position <- (x1,y1+1)

Annamayya's padams are addressed to the god, the Lord of the Hill, whom he imagines in a seemingly inexhaustible series of modes and moods, each moment unique and irreplaceable. This is the beautiful version of this song, sung by the wonderful M. S. Subbulakshmi.
To find what you cannot see is truth.
What you do in between is a game.
Right in front of you lies the world.
At the very end is truth.
It's all part of this passing game.
The past clings to our bodies.
Cross the doorway: there is truth.
Badness never ends, and there's never enough good.
In the end, time is a game.
Higher than heaven is truth.

Back in November, J took me crabbing for the first time ever. My favorite TV show is Deadliest Catch. I don't have cable so I'm not up to date at all on the episodes, but I loved watching it while doing homework in law school. Sometimes when I'm working from home I'll still turn on Netflix re-runs for background noise. So when he asked if I'd want to learn how to crab fish, I was stoked!
I caught that little crab during our first crabbing trip together. I had to send him back to the water because he was too small to keep, but it was neat to see one up close and personal like that. On that trip, a friend let him borrow their crab pots.
My goal was to impress J and have my whole pot set up before I got to the Island. He and his family got there several days before I did because I didn't have the vacation days to use. That gave me the HOURS I needed on google, searching for guides on how to set up a crab pot for the first time. I wanted to share what I found with you guys! I did find a very clear explanation of setting up a crab pot, but without pictures. So I tried to include a few here.
Most of the items can be purchased on Amazon. I am a fantastic procrastinator, so by the time I figured out what I would need and actually got around to buying it, I had to go to a brick and mortar store. Almost everything I bought was found at Big5 Sporting Goods, except the rope, which I bought at Bass Pro Shops. Big5 sold me some rope, but it was not the right kind. Returning the rope I didn't need was super easy. In fact, my experience in both stores was fantastic, which is saying something because I felt 85% helpless throughout most of my shopping experiences.
1) A Crab Pot – you'll need to look into whether you want a square one or a round one.
5) A Buoy – also look up what kind you need. In WA, it's a red and white buoy and the yellow ones are for shrimp.
6) Optional: A Pot Harness – this will make tying and pulling up your pot a lot easier. I did not buy one of these.
There are some specific things to know or remember about a few items on this list.
The pot I purchased was made by Danielson. I paid about $50 for it. As you can see, you can save some money (50% off when I looked) by buying online. The store I went to didn't have any in stock so they gave me the display. This meant that it was already popped up. If you buy one at a store or online, it will likely come collapsed and you'll need to pop it up yourself.
There will be a section tied with a rope or yarn looking fabric. DO NOT CUT THAT OFF! It's legally required just in case your crab pot gets lost at sea. The material will disintegrate after a period of time. This way, any crabbies that find their way into your lost pot will be able to escape.
While I was googling, I discovered this forum with many tips on setting up the Danielson (brand) crab pot. I did not register or comment on anything myself (again, I felt helpless and awkward), but that forum was great for context.
I followed the suggestions I read in that thread and zip tied the corners together. Apparently there's a risk of the pot collapsing when you pull it up, if you pull on the wrong angle. I didn't want to take that chance. So I followed directions. Make sure to leave one side zip-tie-free. Otherwise you won't be able to get the crabs out when you pull up the pot!
You'll also want to zip tie in the bait cage. Just make sure that you zip tie it with the opening of the bait cage, facing the side that you didn't zip tie. Otherwise you'll have a really awkward time placing and removing the bait.
And trust me, you do not want to spend more time than necessary touching crab bait. Gross.
The first rope I bought was wrong. I had a feeling it might be, because the sales guy said, "Well, this rope has a picture of a boat on it, so it could be right!" I sent this photo to J and his mermaid cousins, and his immediate reply was that the rope was wrong.
The only place I knew to find it was Bass Pro Shops. So there I went! You need leaded rope. This helps the pot sink, I guess. But you can find it online or at specialty fishing type places.
This is where the optional harness comes in. If you don't feel comfortable tying the whole pot with the leaded rope, you can put the harness on and tie the rope to that.
Check out your state laws to see how your buoy needs to be marked. Here is where you can find the Washington State Rules for crabbing. If you're not sure where to look, simply search google for your state laws on crabbing.
This is the grossest part about crabbing. (The second grossest – cleaning a crab.) You need to get some chicken, fish or bacon and leave it out for a day or two. J usually bags it into zip locks, and then puts it into a tupperware. Then you put that in a windowsill or something until you go crabbing. Crabs like rotten meat. A sales person at the grocery store told me his best tip is to use marked down tilapia, since it's already at the end of it's shelf life.
Then, go have fun! I got to the Island after work on Thursday night, and it was so awesome to be on the boat again. We hung out with everyone, then went to sleep. On Friday morning I got to put my very first crab pot into the water. It was so exciting!
After a few hours of letting the pot sit on Friday morning, I was anxious to pull up my pot and see if I'd caught anything. Even though it wasn't my first time crabbing, it felt different to know that I was able to catch the crabs all by myself.
Pulling up my first crab pot!
I hope this list helps! Let me know how your crabbing experience goes!
If you're also going to be camping, don't forget to check my camping pack list for the new-to-camping woman.
I didn't know you were into crabbing! haha.
Great article. I can't wait till I go crab fishing it seems fun!

Q: Error when trying to inject a service into an angular component "EXCEPTION: Can't resolve all parameters for component", why? I've built a basic app in Angular, but I have encountered a strange issue where I cannot inject a service into one of my components. It injects fine into any of the three other components I have created, however.
For starters, this is the service:
import { Injectable } from '@angular/core';

@Injectable()
export class MobileService {
  screenWidth: number;
  screenHeight: number;

  constructor() {
    this.screenWidth = window.outerWidth;
    this.screenHeight = window.outerHeight;

    window.addEventListener("resize", this.onWindowResize.bind(this) )
  }

  onWindowResize(ev: Event) {
    var win = (ev.currentTarget as Window);
    this.screenWidth = win.outerWidth;
    this.screenHeight = win.outerHeight;
  }

}

And the component that it refuses to work with:
import { Component, } from '@angular/core';
import { NgClass } from '@angular/common';
import { ROUTER_DIRECTIVES } from '@angular/router';

import {MobileService} from '../';

@Component({
  moduleId: module.id,
  selector: 'pm-header',
  templateUrl: 'header.component.html',
  styleUrls: ['header.component.css'],
  directives: [ROUTER_DIRECTIVES, NgClass],
})
export class HeaderComponent {
  mobileNav: boolean = false;

  constructor(public ms: MobileService) {
    console.log(ms);
  }

}

The error I get in the browser console is this:

EXCEPTION: Can't resolve all parameters for HeaderComponent: (?).

I have the service in the bootstrap function so it has a provider. And I seem to be able to inject it into the constructor of any of my other components without issue.

A: In my case, it happened because I didn't declare the type for a constructor parameter.
I had something like this:
constructor(private URL, private http: Http) { }

and then changing it to the code below solved my problem.
constructor(private URL : string, private http: Http) {}

A: WRONG #1: Forgetting Decorator:
//Uncaught Error: Can't resolve all parameters for MyFooService: (?).
export class MyFooService { ... }

WRONG #2: Omitting "@" Symbol:
//Uncaught Error: Can't resolve all parameters for MyFooService: (?).
Injectable()
export class MyFooService { ... }

WRONG #3: Omitting "()" Symbols:
//Uncaught Error: Can't resolve all parameters for TypeDecorator: (?).
@Injectable
export class MyFooService { ... }

WRONG #4: Lowercase "i":
//Uncaught ReferenceError: injectable is not defined
@injectable
export class MyFooService { ... }

WRONG #5: You forgot:
import { Injectable } from '@angular/core';
//Uncaught ReferenceError: Injectable is not defined
@Injectable
export class MyFooService { ... }

CORRECT:
@Injectable()
export class MyFooService { ... }

A: This answer might be very helpful for this problem. In addition, for my case, exporting the service as default was the cause.
WRONG:
@Inject()
export default class MobileService { ... }

CORRECT:
@Inject()
export class MobileService { ... }

A: for me it was just lack of () in @Injectable. Proper is @Injectable()

A: Removing parameters from injectable constructor() method solved it for my case.

A: In my case it was because of the plugin Augury, disable it will work fine. Alternative option is aot, also works.
all credits to @Boboss74 , he posted the answer here: https://github.com/angular/angular/issues/23958

A: This can be a really difficult issue to debug due to the lack of feedback in the error. If you are concerned about an actual cyclic dependency, here's the most important thing to look at in the stack trace a) the name of the service b) the constructor parameter in that service that has a question mark e.g. if it looks like this:

can't resolve all parameters for AuthService: ([object Object],
  [object Object], [object Object], [object Object], ?)

then it means the 5th parameter is a service that also depend on AuthService. i.e. question mark, means it wasn't resolved by DI.
From there, you just need to decouple the 2 services by restructuring the code.

A: Import it from the file where it is declared directly instead of the barrel.
I don't know what exactly causes the issue but I saw it mentioned several times (probably some kind of circular dependency).
It should also be fixable by changing the order of the exports in the barrel (don't know details, but was mentioned as well)

A: Well for me the issue was even more annoying, I was using a service within a service and forgot to add it as dependency in the appModule!
Hope this helps someone save several hours breaking the app down only to build it back up again

A: Adding Injectable solved my problem:
Error code
import { Observable } from 'rxjs';
import { io } from 'socket.io-client';
import { HttpClient } from '@angular/common/http';

export class Chat {

After fix
import { Injectable } from '@angular/core';
import { Observable } from 'rxjs';
import { io } from 'socket.io-client';
import { HttpClient } from '@angular/common/http';

@Injectable()
export class Chat {

A: In addition to the previous answers given, it seems this error is thrown as well when your injectable service is missing the actual @Injectable() decorator. So before you debug the cyclic dependency thing and the order of your imports/exports, do a simple check whether your service actually has @Injectable() defined.
This applies to the current Angular latest, Angular 2.1.0.
I opened an issue on this matter.

A: I have encountered this error by mistyping the service's name, i.e.  constructor (private myService: MyService).
For misspelled services, I was able to determine which service was the problem (I had several listed in the constructor) by inspecting the page in Chrome->Console. You will see as part of the message a "parameter" array list by displaying object Object, object Object, ? (or something like that). Notice where the "?" is and that is the position of the service that is causing the problem.

A: You have to add providers array in @Component decorator or in the module where your component is declared. Inside component you can do as below:
@Component({
  moduleId: module.id,
  selector: 'pm-header',
  templateUrl: 'header.component.html',
  styleUrls: ['header.component.css'],
  directives: [ROUTER_DIRECTIVES, NgClass],
  providers: [MobileService]
})

A: In my case passing wrong parameters to constructor generates this error, basic idea about this error is that you unknowingly passed some wrong args to any function.
export class ProductComponent {
    productList: Array<Product>;

    constructor(productList:Product) {
         // productList:Product this arg was causing error of unresolved parameters.
         this.productList = [];
    }
}

I solved this by just removing that argument.

A: For me, I got this error when I mistakenly disabled this import in the polyfills.ts file , you need to ensure it is imported to avoid that error.
/** Evergreen browsers require these. **/
// Used for reflect-metadata in JIT. If you use AOT (and only Angular decorators), you can remove.
import 'core-js/es7/reflect';

A: In my case I was trying to extend "NativeDateAdapter" in order to override "format(date: Date, displayFormat: Object)" method.
In AngularMaterial-2 DatePicker .
So basically I forgot to add @Injectable anotation.
After I add this to my "CustomDateAdapter" class:
@Injectable({
  providedIn: 'root'
})

Error has gone.

A: In my case it was a circular reference.
I had MyService calling Myservice2
And MyService2 calling MyService.
Not good :(

A: Gotcha!
If none of the above answers helped you, maybe you are importing some element from the same file where a component is injecting the service.
I explain better:
This is the service file:
// your-service-file.ts
import { helloWorld } from 'your-component-file.ts'

@Injectable()
export class CustomService() {
  helloWorld()
}

This is the component file:
@Component({..})
export class CustomComponent {
  constructor(service: CustomService) { }
}

export function helloWorld() {
  console.log('hello world');
}

So it causes problems even if the symbol isn't inside the same component, but just inside the same file. Move the symbol (it can be a function, a constant, a class and so on...) elsewhere and the error will fade away

A: for angular 6 and newer versions, try
@Injectable({
  providedIn: 'root'
})

..right above your service class with no other lines in between
advantages

*

*no need to add the service to any module (will be "auto-discovered")

*service will be a singleton (since it will be injected into root)

[angular docs]

A: As already stated, the issue is caused by the export ordering within the barrel which is caused by circular dependencies.
A more detailed explanation is here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/37907696/893630

A: I also encountered this by injecting service A into service B and vice versa.
I think it's a good thing that this fails fast as it should probably be avoided anyway. If you want your services to be more modular and re-usable, it's best to avoid circular references as much as possible. This post highlights the pitfalls surrounding that.
Therefore, I have the following recommendations:

*

*If you feel the classes are interacting too often (I'm talking about feature envy), you might want to consider merging the 2 services into 1 class.

*If the above doesn't work for you, consider using a 3rd service, (an EventService) which both services can inject in order to exchange messages.

A: For the benefit of searchers; I got this error. It was simply a missing @ symbol.
I.e. This produces the Can't resolve all parameters for MyHttpService error.
Injectable()
export class MyHttpService{
}

Adding the missing @ symbol fixes it.
@Injectable()
export class MyHttpService{
}

A: Although the ordering of exported classes from within barrels may have been mentioned, the following scenario may also produce the same effect.
Suppose you have classes A, B, and C exported from within the same file where A depends on B and C:
@Injectable()
export class A {
    /** dependencies injected */
    constructor(private b: B, private c: C) {}
}

@Injectable()
export class B {...}

@Injectable()
export class C {...}

Since the dependent classes (i.e. in this case classes B and C) are not yet known to Angular, (probably at run-time during Angular's dependency injection process on class A) the error is raised.
Solution
The solution is to declare and export the dependent classes before the class where the DI is done.
i.e. in the above case the class A is declared right after its dependencies are defined:
@Injectable()
export class B {...}

@Injectable()
export class C {...}

@Injectable()
export class A {
    /** dependencies injected */
    constructor(private b: B, private c: C) {}
}

A: In my case, I was exporting a Class and an Enum from the same component file:
mComponent.component.ts:
export class MyComponentClass{...}
export enum MyEnum{...}

Then, I was trying to use MyEnum from a child of MyComponentClass. That was causing the Can't resolve all parameters error.
By moving MyEnum in a separate folder from MyComponentClass, that solved my issue!
As Günter Zöchbauer mentioned, this is happening because of a service or component is circularly dependent.

A: If your service is defined in the same file as a component (that consumes it) and the service is defined after the component in the file you may get this error. This is due to the same 'forwardRef' issue others have mentioned. At this time VSCode isn't great about showing you this error and the build compiles successfully.
Running the build with --aot can mask this problem due to the way the compiler works (probably related to tree shaking).
Solution: Make sure the service is defined in another file or before the component definition. (I'm not sure if forwardRef can be used in this case, but it seems clumsy to do so).
If I have a very simple service that is very strongly tied to a component (sort of like a view model) - eg. ImageCarouselComponent, I may name it ImageCarouselComponent.service.ts so it doesn't get all mixed up with my other services.

A: Another possibility is not having emitDecoratorMetadata set to true in tsconfig.json
{
  "compilerOptions": {

     ...

    "emitDecoratorMetadata": true,

     ...

    }

}

A: In my case, I needed to add import "core-js/es7/reflect"; to my application to make @Injectable work.

A: In addition to the missing @Injectable() decorator
Missing @Injectable() decorator in abstract class produced the Can't resolve all parameters for service: (?)
The decorator needs be present in MyService as well as in the derived class BaseService
//abstract class
@Injectable()
abstract class BaseService { ... }

//MyService
@Injectable()
export class MyService extends BaseService {
.....
}

A: As of Angular 2.2.3 there is now a forwardRef() utility function that allows you to inject providers that have not yet been defined.
By not defined, I mean that the dependency injection map doesn't know the identifier. This is what happens during circular dependencies. You can have circular dependencies in Angular that are very difficult to untangle and see.
export class HeaderComponent {
  mobileNav: boolean = false;

  constructor(@Inject(forwardRef(() => MobileService)) public ms: MobileService) {
    console.log(ms);
  }

}

Adding @Inject(forwardRef(() => MobileService)) to the parameter of the constructor in the original question's source code will fix the problem.
References

Forward references in Angular 2

A: You get this error if you have service A that depends on a static property / method of service B and the service B itself depends on service A trough dependency injection. So it's a kind of a circular dependency, although it isn't since the property / method is static. Probably a bug that occurs in combination with AOT.

A: In my case, the reason was the following:

*

*my injectable service A extended another class B

*B had a constructor which required an argument

*I hadn't defined any constructor in A

As a consequence, when trying to create an object A, the default constructor failed. I have no idea why this wasn't a compile error.
I got it fixed by simply adding a constructor in A, which correctly called B's constructor.

A: Anuglar import paths are case sensitive.Check if your service paths are correct everywhere you use service and also check the letter cases to be correct and identical everywhere.

A:

import {Injector} from '@angular/core';
import {ServiceA} from './service-a';

@Component({
  // ...
})
class MyComp {
  constructor(private injector: Injector) {
     const serviceA = injector.get(ServiceA);
  }
}

A: Im my case, add "emitDecoratorMetadata" and "esModuleInterop" solved the problem.
https://github.com/thymikee/jest-preset-angular/issues/288

A: When using barrel imports - consider importing injectables first as a rule of thumb.

A: It happens when referring an interface as well.
Changing interface for class fixed it, working with and without @Inject.

A: Sometimes this happens when you declared Angular's inbuilt module(HttpClientModule, HttpErrorResponse etc) in app.module.js. I also faced the same issue but resolved now.
The mistake I did was mention HttpClientModule into Providers instead of Import of angular Module

A: For me this was because i stopped using the -aot flag whilst trying to make the compile time faster.
 ng serve -aot

A: For me, it was because I had an empty line between my @Component decorator and my Component class.  This caused the decorator not to get applied to the class.

A: In my case, I took a dependency on a service that had no dependencies and therefore I did not add a constructor() function to the service class. I added a parameterless constructor to the dependent service class and everything started working.

A: In my case, that was the TypeScript version that I upgraded to a major version and assignation assertions that I added to some Class properties.
Reverting the changes solved this for me. (details here)

A: to me stopping the application and issuing ng serve fixed the problem

A: In my case I missed to call the constructor of the class I inherited from.
Before:
@Component({ ... })
export class ComponentA extends ComponentParent {
  // ...
}

After:
@Component({ ... })
export class ComponentA extends ComponentParent {
  constructor(protected route: ActivatedRoute, protected store$: Store<AppState>) {
    super(route, store$);
  }
  // ...
}

A: In my case fix was replacing relative path with absolute
before
import {Service} from './service';

after
import {Service} from 'src/app/services/service';

Looks like typescript/angular issue

A: You can try running the following command again:
ng serve --open

A: In may case the error was caused by upgrading the @angular-devkit/build-angular to ~0.803.*. See https://github.com/angular/angular-cli/issues/15892 for the details.

A: If you try to inject an interface, this error occurs as well:
Somewhere:
export const MY_SERVICE = new InjectionToken<MyService>('MY_SERVICE');

export interface MyService {
  // ...
}

@Injectable()
export class MyServiceImpl implements MyService {
  // ...
}

Incorrect:
  constructor(
    private myService: MyService
  ) {}

Correct:
  constructor(
    @Inject(MY_SERVICE) private myService: MyService
  ) {}

A: The thing is that elements within a module should use relative imports for elements that are part of the same module; they should never import through the module's public API barrel (or barrels in general btw).
The problem with that import is that if something that depends on the service is loaded first in the barrel (directly or not), then the DI system will fail since the service has not been declared yet and thus can't be resolved.
Try changing the import from absolute:
import { UserService } from 'src/app/users/user.service';

To Relative:
import { UserService } from '../../users/user.service';

A: I tried almost all the answers given here but none of them helped me.
What worked for me was closing the project in Visual Studio Code, opening the file explorer, entering my project and deleting the dist folder.
Then I did every build to all the libs and then re-ran the project in npm start.

San Nicola Arcella is a small municipality in the province of Cosenza, Calabria, characterized by a very picturesque coast. A wonderful bay, called Blue Bay, is dominated by a promontory hosting the remains of the ancient Devil's Tower, allso known as Crawford's Tower since the famous horror writer Francis Marion Crawford stayed here for a long time.
Along the coast, the beach of Arco Magno offers a crystal blue sea and faces the so-called Dino island, a wonderful marine grotto which can be reached both by land and sea.
Since the beach is particularly difficult to reach by foot, the anchorage is generally crowded with private and tourist boats. Dino Island is a wild rock surrounded by crystal blue waters, reachable only by boat.
The island is the biggest of the two ones existing in Calabria and it raises opposite the town of Praia a Mare. It's particularly appreciated and visited by scuba divers for two popular grottos: the Blue Grotto and the Lion's one. The first became famous some years ago, when world champion Simone Arrigoni reached it and established a new apnoea record.
For its strategic position, the island was the scene for several battles in the past; it's also an excellent watching point and, in fact, it still preserves the remains of an ancient Norman watching tower. In 60's, it was bought by Gianni Agnelli, who wanted to transform it into a luxury tourist atttraction.
So, he built some jetties, bungalows, restaurants and villas but, after many transfers in ownership, it was finally declared site of Community interest. At present, it is run by Dino Island Club, which constantly works to make it an excellece of the Calabrian tourism.

Mary Louise Verdier
Mary Louise Verdier died peacefully at her home on November 25, 2019. She was born in Lafayette, LA to the late William H. and Fannie Cushman Cantrelle on August 13, 1925. She graduated from Lafayette High School as salutatorian and received her Bachelor of Arts degree from Southwestern Louisiana Institute where she was a member of Sigma Sigma Sigma sorority. After graduation, she worked for both the Dean of Admission and Dean of Administration on campus where she met Stanworth Verdier who was serving as Commandant of Cadets and Professor for the Air Force ROTC. They were married on May 12, 1951.
Stan and Mary Louise's Air Force career took them to Aldeburgh, England, Dayton, Ohio and ultimately to Vandenberg AFB in 1957. After leaving employment with The Boeing Company in 1965, Mary Louise enjoyed helping others in need. She was also a 'self-taught' gourmet cook and spent hours copying recipes to try for family and friends.
In later years, despite being legally blind, Mary Louise continued to touch the lives around her, especially her caregivers, with her warm smile, positive attitude and caring interest in their lives. Besides teaching them different aspects of cooking, she shared with them her love for the Bible by having them read Scripture to her.
Stan and Mary Louise were members of both the Sana Maria and Lompoc First United Methodist Churches. In addition, for 40 years, and up until her death, she was an active member of the Village Circle, a Bible study group of retired military wives. Mary Louise also had a love for traveling in England and made several trips back to England to enjoy the people and the country.
While Mary Louise had no children, she and Stan had multiple Dachshund dogs who brought love and enjoyment to their lives. She was preceded in death by her husband, Stanworth; her parents; two brothers, Billy and Bingham (who was killed in action in World War II) and her sister Bettie. She is survived by seven nieces, two nephews and numerous great nieces and nephews who loved her and enjoyed visiting her in California. For the past several years, she has been surrounded by loving caregivers and special friends who have been 'family' to her through the love and support they provided to her and her extended family. She accepted all of them as gifts from God.
The family would like to thank all the individuals who loved and served her in her last years, including Assisted Home Hospice who was with her during the last several months of her life.
A private celebration of life will be held in the future.

Carole Eckhardt
Carole May Mattoon (Barthuli) Eckhardt was born on July 4,1937, in Fresno, CA. Consistent with her star-spangled birthday, Carole was known for her sparkling personality, fiery wit, and a flair for the dramatic. She was the daughter of Genevieve and Newell Mattoon and the sister of Joyce Elaine Mattoon Coffey. As a young child, her family lived in Fresno. In 1952, her parents purchased the Big Creek General Store. Life in Big Creek, her summer job at Camp Sierra and her summer trips with Aunt Lora to the Tioga Pass Resort gave her an enduring love for the Sierra and it was there that she first met the young park ranger, Wymond Eckhardt, in 1954. Carole graduated from Sierra High School in 1955 where she was active in the school's drama program. After high school, she attended Simpson Bible College in San Francisco for one year where she studied the organ.
In 1957, she married former spouse Wallace David Barthuli of Sanger, CA. In 1959 their first-born, John David, died at birth. In 1963, Kathryn Elaine was born. She was followed by Jennifer May in 1966. The family moved from Fresno to the Sanger countryside in 1970 where they loved rural life on the Del Rey ranch and enjoyed beautiful summers at their Huntington Lake cabin.
Carole returned to school in 1969 attending Fresno City College and eventually graduating with a teaching credential from Fresno State University in 1977. In 1979, Carole reconnected with Ranger, and now university Professor, Wymond. They were married in 1980. The couple retired to Santa Barbara in 1990 and eventually to their ranch in the Santa Ynez Valley where they spent many happy years being grandparents extraordinaire. A lovely lady in every sense of the word, Carole delighted in her "career" as a wife, mother and homemaker. Her home and garden were always warm, beautiful, comfortable and welcoming to all.
When Carole took her first piano lesson at age seven, it ignited a talent and passion that she shared extensively throughout her life. She bestowed her love of music upon her family. As an active member of the Fresno Central Seventh-day Adventist Church, she played a vital role as pianist, organist and choir accompanist for many years. Some of her family's fondest memories are of Carole at the piano. She had a magical gift and touch!
Carole died peacefully in the embrace of her daughters on November 17, 2019. She will always be remembered by adoring family and friends for her lavish care of others, her witty solicited and unsolicited advice, her abiding love for family and friends and her deep faith in her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. She is survived by her children Kathryn and Vahid Imani of Solvang, Jennifer and Steve Berman of Santa Ynez and four beloved grandchildren David Shahin Imani, Andrew Kahmyar Imani, Emily Wallis Berman, and Olivia May Berman. Step-granddaughter Mersedeh Sarah Imani-Ruiz and three step-great-grandchildren, Asalah, Ilyas and Allistair, were also very dear to Carole's (G.G.'s) heart.
The family wishes to thank friend and caregiver, Kim Sayre, and the caregivers at VNA Health, LivHome, Friendship House and Atterdag Village for their loving care of Carole during her long and trying illness. A memorial service will be held on Sunday, December 1, 2019, at 1:00 pm. at Bethania Lutheran Church in Solvang. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in Carole's honor to www.hoperefuge.org.

Howard Berry
On October 26, 2019, Howard Leland Berry, beloved husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather, brother, and friend, left this earthly life to return to his spiritual home. Howard was born in Los Angeles on December 8, 1931, into a loving family that was deeply-rooted in their Finnish community.
Throughout the years, Howard shared wonderful stories about growing up in their small, multi-cultural neighborhood in El Monte. As much of the area was still undeveloped, Nature figured prominently in the lessons of childhood. For the remainder of his life, Howard felt a deep connection to the beauty and history of all Southern California. Howard was gifted with intuitive understanding of all things mechanical. As a member of the burgeoning hot rod culture of the 1940s, he developed his automotive skills and knowledge into mastery.
In 1952, Howard met Lorraine Burrey and was instantly smitten. Less than six months later he was drafted into the Army. Just days before reporting for duty, Howard drove his betrothed through the starry desert night to wed at the Little Chapel Around the Corner in Las Vegas.
Before long, they welcomed three children - Cathy, Lee, and Cindy - and settled into young family life. In 1965, Howard discovered Solvang, the pristine little town set in the extraordinary Santa Ynez Valley. Enamored of the Valley's unique culture, the Berrys moved into their home on First Street in Alisal Glen, where Howard and Lorraine would live for 53 years. Howard frequently volunteered for community projects and events, and especially enjoyed the camaraderie of his neighbors.
Howard worked for C. Sanchez and Sons as a heavy-duty mechanic for more than 35 years. He found fulfillment in the physicality of the work and in tending to the demands of the massive Caterpillar equipment. Job sites often took him to pristine fields, hillsides, cliffs, and seashores, and as he worked, he reveled in the surrounding beauty.
Upon retirement, Howard and Lorraine devoted much time to their grandchildren; they traveled, developed talents in photography and art, and expanded their circle of friends. Howard's refined, artistic sensibility informed everything he did, whether building an engine or remodeling the family home, when planting a garden or planning a photo project. A humble man, Howard found his heart's content through the love of his family and lifelong friendships.
Howard is survived by his wife Lorraine, with whom he shared a honeymoon of 67 years, his sister, Alyce Pernu, his children, Cathy Berry, Lee (Patty) Berry, Cindy Berry, grandchildren Keith Grant (Audrey Koestler), James (Melissa) Berry, and great-granddaughters, Caroline and Josephine Berry. Howard and Lorraine are pictured together, as we can't tell the story of one without the other.
Howard Leland Berry was an every-day hero who gave of his whole self in everything he did. He was a man of strength and grace, deep compassion and an electric wit. We will always cherish our time with him, even as we mourn his absence.

Okay – we might be overdramatizing a bit. Maybe most of the time we aren't really anywhere near the Maritimes when the S.O.S. arrives (although the distress part rings true enough). Actually, we're usually at our desk checking the email.
Although it is technically correct that we PLR (private label rights) providers don't have a Code of the Sea (or even the P.C.), it is a fact that we will do our best to come to the rescue. But it would be better for everyone if the Mayday!s could be avoided in the first place.
S.O.S. (Save Our Site!) situations are often the result of neglect, absent-mindedness, and/or misinformation. When someone puts up their website in the first place, they usually inject a great deal of thought (and often budget) into its creation. Then wait for something to happen. Whether anything good happens as time passes has a thousand variations — but eventually, whether successful or not, a sort of settling tends to happen.
And the direction of almost all 'settling' tends to be downward.
Neglect and absent-mindedness is common because of the misinformation. The misinformation is that time alone is an internet ally, since trust and traffic build after you've been around long enough to establish that you are not one of the fly-by-night kind of operations. This is just about precisely half true.
True, people and search engines sometimes reward longevity, but only the kind that they're looking for. If you have a site that has been rock solid since 1999, hasn't changed a whit since then, Google may decide that the rock in question is a tombstone. Most of their customers (and yours) are interested in finding outfits that are actively doing business with living breathing human beings. That's why it's a necessity to inject a steady stream of fresh and relevant new content on a regular basis via dedicated blogging, dedicated creative staff research, or (more efficiently) canny use of the right PLR articles.
When those Save Our Site! calls come in, they're almost always due to a period of neglect — failure to man the bridge. Suddenly the alarm sounds because inattention has caused everything to drift off course which threatens to dash the company website vessel onto yawning shoals of…well, seldom onto yawning shoals of coral.
More often, just shoals of yawning.
