TypeError: You provided an invalid object where a stream was expected. You can provide an Observable, Promise, Array, or Iterable

by

In my case the error occurred only during e2e tests. It was caused by throwError in my AuthenticationInterceptor.

I imported it from a wrong source because I used WebStorm’s import feature. I am using RxJS 6.2.

Wrong:

import { throwError } from 'rxjs/internal/observable/throwError';

Correct:

import { throwError } from 'rxjs';

Here the full code of the interceptor:

import { Injectable } from '@angular/core';
import { HttpErrorResponse, HttpEvent, HttpHandler, HttpInterceptor, HttpRequest } from '@angular/common/http';
import { Observable, throwError } from 'rxjs';
import { catchError } from 'rxjs/operators';

@Injectable()
export class AuthenticationInterceptor implements HttpInterceptor {

  intercept(req: HttpRequest<any>, next: HttpHandler): Observable<HttpEvent<any>> {
    const reqWithCredentials = req.clone({withCredentials: true});
    return next.handle(reqWithCredentials)
     .pipe(
        catchError(error => {
          if (error.status === 401 || error.status === 403) {
            // handle error
          }
          return throwError(error);
        })
     );
  }
}
