fe-angular can't resolve dependencies on newer nodeJS versions

[cschweikert]

The current fe-angular quickstarter fails installing the dependencies on machines with current versions of nodejs (nodeJS 16.4 with npm 8.1.0 and maybe also lower) while it is running successfully on a nodeJS 10 based build agent in Jenkins (ods/jenkins-agent-nodejs10-angular:3.x).

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. provision an fe-angular quickstarter
2. clone the new repository locally
3. run npm install locally by using an up-to-date nodejs version

It shows an errors like this:

npm ERR! code ERESOLVE
npm ERR! ERESOLVE unable to resolve dependency tree
npm ERR! 
npm ERR! While resolving: [email protected]

Affected Versions
It was found in 3.x but might also affect 4.x since it uses packages with the same versions.

Solution
The problem can be fixed by updating the dependencies for jasmine-core to "~3.8.0". After this a new issue will arise:

npm ERR! code ETARGET
npm ERR! notarget No matching version found for @babel/highlight@^7.16.0.
npm ERR! notarget In most cases you or one of your dependencies are requesting
npm ERR! notarget a package version that doesn't exist.
...

This again can be resolved by updating the dependencies for karma-coverage-istanbul-reporter to "~3.0.0".

This issue has been fixed for 3.x already (#663). For 4.x and master this issue will rather be fixed with an update of Angular. About the Angular update see also #765
