Angular 2 RC.5 FormsModule doesn't exist

Question

I am upgrading from rc.4 to rc.5 and all of the documentation I've found tells me that I should import the FormsModule into my app.module.ts file

import { FormsModule } from '@angular/forms';

However when I try to do that I get an error that says the app cannot resolve symbol 'FormsModule'.

I have tried doing npm install @angular/forms -D which downloaded and installed @angular/forms in my node_modules, but that didn't help. I also tried updating my typescript to 1.8.10 and my typings to 1.3.3 then running typings install, but again that didn't fix it.

What am I missing here? Is the documentation incorrect?

Answer 1

Updating to rc.5 also requires updating @angular/forms to 0.3.0.
