Description

I recently upgraded all dependencies to Angular v19 (from v18). I was previously on Angular v18 where everything worked fine. However, now, my whole console is spammed with the following error:

```
ERROR RuntimeError: NG0203: inject() must be called from an injection context such as a constructor, a factory function, a field initializer, or a function used with `runInInjectionContext`. Find more at https://angular.dev/errors/NG0203

at switchMap.js:16:17
at OperatorSubscriber2._this._next (OperatorSubscriber.js:14:9)
at Subscriber2.next (Subscriber.js:32:12)
```

However, my auth service at line 38:14 only has the following code:
``.doc(`users/${user.uid}`)``

The whole constructor looks like this (it is a angular service class)
```@Injectable({
providedIn: 'root',
})
export class AuthService {
isLoggedIn$: Observable;
/** User data of database */
user$: Observable;
userRoles$: Observable;
userId: string | undefined = undefined;
username: string | undefined = undefined;

constructor(
readonly firestore: AngularFirestore,
readonly fireAuth: AngularFireAuth,
readonly router: Router,
) {
this.user$ = this.fireAuth.authState.pipe(
switchMap((user) => {
if (user) {
this.userId = user.uid;
return this.firestore
.doc(`users/${user.uid}`)
.valueChanges()
.pipe(
map((userData) => {
if (userData) {
this.username = userData.username; // Assign username
}
return userData;
}),
);
} else {
this.userId = undefined;
this.username = undefined;
return new Observable((observer) => observer.next(null));
}
}),
);
```

But I dont really know, why it does not work anymore in angular 19.

My package dependencies:
```
"dependencies": {
"@angular/animations": "^19.1.5",
"@angular/cdk": "^19.1.3",
"@angular/common": "^19.1.5",

"rxjs": "~7.8.0",
"tslib": "^2.8.1",
"tw-elements": "^2.0.0",
"zone.js": "^0.15.0"
},
```

I also tried to set "preserveSymlinks": false, in angular.json however, the issue still persists.

Research direction

Start with the call in auth.service.ts at line 38 and trace it through AngularFirestore.doc into angular-fire-compat-firestore.mjs, using the NG0203 stack trace as the entry point. Compare the reported Angular v19 and @angular/fire v19 dependency versions and review the issue discussion for an established reproduction or resolution. Done means the injection-context error is explained and a verified compatibility fix or maintainer-confirmed next step is identified.
