Angular 2 RC5: Can't bind to 'ngFor' since it isn't a known property of

Question

After upgrading to RC5, I suddenly got this error:

Can't bind to 'ngFor' since it isn't a known property of 'div'. ("

<div [ERROR ->]*ngFor="t of test">{{t}}</div>")

The HTML:

<div *ngFor="t of test">asdas</div>

All posts on this topic explain that you need to import BrowserModule, but I already did that.

Answer 1

After banging my head against the wall, I found the solution: I had forgotten the word "let" in front of my variable!

Pre RC5 this used to work, so this is a breaking change in RC5. I know let is required, but previously this just worked. And the error is not helpful at all.

Hope this helps!
