Desired functionality.

Adding a new line shouldn't break the build

The same error still shows up for current angular 5.2.x and @ngtools/webpack 1.10.1 if I use a TS version != 2.4.2. As Angular 5.2 officially supports TS 2.6 this is now a real bug, please reopen.

Hi Guys,

I also get this issue on change of source code like fixing an import reference.

I am using ng serve --aot

Regards,
Tarek

I reverted my typescript version to “<2.5.0” and it’s working fine.

The current version of typescript supported is 2.4.2, please use that version for now. Support for later versions of TypeScript are being looked into.

When using typescript 2.4.2 with ng build -prod, I get this error.
(Which the fix here says to upgrade typescript to 2.6.1.)

ERROR in ./node_modules/rxjs/_esm5/observable/BoundNodeCallbackObservable.js
Module build failed: TypeError: Cannot read property 'type' of undefined at Object.getEffectiveTypeAnnotationNode (node_modules/typescript/lib/typescript.js:9341:17).

When using typescript 2.6.1 with ng serve --aot, I get the above error when incrementally saving a .html or .ts file
(Which the fix above says to downgrade to typescript 2.4.2...)

ERROR in Error: Debug Failure. False expression: Host should not return a redirect source file from `getSourceFile`
    at tryReuseStructureFromOldProgram (.../node_modules/typescript/lib/typescript.js:72100:26)
    at Object.createProgram (.../node_modules/typescript/lib/typescript.js:71808:34)
    at AngularCompilerProgram._updateProgramWithTypeCheckStubs (.../node_modules/@angular/compiler-cli/src/transformers/program.js:461:30)
    at .../node_modules/@angular/compiler-cli/src/transformers/program.js:149:23
    at process._tickCallback (internal/process/next_tick.js:103:7)

So I am in a catch 22, where I need typescript 2.4.2 for ng serve --aot and typescript 2.6.1 for ng build --prod.

See also #8434. Typescript@next (currently 2.7.0-dev.20171216) is needed to fix other issues as well.

I'm having the same problem after moving an imported .ts file outside the app structure (it acts as a shared module). This works in the first build and fails after a live rebuild.

Using a non-aot developer build seems to work just fine. I can reproduce the issue every time, here's the log:

ERROR in Error: Debug Failure. False expression: Host should not return a redirect source file from `getSourceFile`
    at tryReuseStructureFromOldProgram (/.../node_modules/typescript/lib/typescript.js:74285:26)

    at /.../node_modules/@angular/compiler-cli/src/transformers/program.js:148:23
    at <anonymous>
    at process._tickCallback (internal/process/next_tick.js:118:7)

This is not critical, but a major nuisance. Any help?

Same problem here using Typescript 2.6.2, webpack 3.10, Angular 5.2.x with ngtools/webpack 1.10.2 (compiler-cli 5.2).

@Brocco I understand the issue was closed initially due to TypeScript version mismatch, but it seems like the issue can still be reproduced with 6.0.8, easily. Should this issue be reopened?

When I run project with JIT compilation - cli can build, and the rebuild on changes. When I compile with AOT - first build succeed, but on change cli can't rebuild, and displays
