@AndreaBarbasso thank you for porting this! Just to note it looks like this is failing a couple of unit tests (something to do with 'NgbModal').

@AndreaBarbasso thank you for porting this! Just to note it looks like this is failing a couple of unit tests (something to do with 'NgbModal').

Thanks @lgeggleston for the heads-up! I managed to fix the failing test, everything should be good now.

EDIT: nevermind, working on the failing e2e test now.
