Repro steps

I'm working on migrating a Angular 1.5 project to Angular 6. The templateUrl used in Angular 1.5 component is not working. I'm using following packages,

Angular cli 6.0.8 typescript 2.7.2 Angular 6.0.7

I have Angular 1.5 components which has templateUrl mapped. I successfully was able to build this hybrid app where my angular 1 and angular 6 components are getting rendered. Whenever I load the project the templateUrl gets the path as 404 not found, hence angularjs 1.5 component does not get rendered. While if I use 'template' with inline html strings then it works.

My Angular 1.5 code is in javascript while I'm using typescript for my Angular 6 code

angular.
module('app.users').
component('userDetails', {
templateUrl : './ng1/app/src/users/user-details.html',
//template: 'This is user detail',
controller: UserController
});
When using template it works fine. While templateUrl is not working. I have tried the following links ./ng1/app/src/users/user-details.html
./app/src/users/user-details.html
../user-details.html
./users/user-details.html

My component js file is present under ./ng1/app/src/users but while build happens using gulp the bundle js gets created at root folder

The log given by the failure

Error that I'm receiving is below,

zone.js:2969 GET http://localhost:8082/ng1/app/src/users/user-details.html 404 (Not Found)

angular.js:13236 Error: [$compile:tpload] Failed to load template: ./ng1/app/src/users/user-details.html (HTTP status: 404 Not Found)

Desired functionality

TemplateUrl should work with relative path of html file for the components

I experience the very same issue. Tried to upgrade from hybrid app from ng4 to ng6, but now got my ng1 components not working because of these 404.

@SpeCT how did you resolved this issue ?

@sagarwasule Replace templateUrl: “...” with template: require(“...”)

We never really intended the functionality of replacing AngularJS templateUrls, it just so happened they had the same property name as Angular. I'm sorry to hear this changed, but this isn't a feature we are looking at adding explicitely.

I have a similar issue where I created a hybrid app of AngularJS 1.7.3 running next to Angular 6. The app builds successfully and there is no error in the log. When I do ng serve I can see Angular 6 looking at the default routing of AngularJS and redirect, but the screen is white and nothing happens. If I replace template : <component><component> by template: <h1>Hello World<h1> it is working. Anyone knows why my hybrid app does not seems to load my AngularJS component from the router?

I think its some sort of regression:

it worked perfect with: "@angular-devkit/build-angular": "~0.7.4",
and started get problem when we updated to :
"@angular-devkit/build-angular": "~0.11.3" (during upgrade to angular 7.1.3 from 6)

Same here, worked perfectly with

"@angular-devkit/build-angular": "0.8.9"

ever since we updated to >0.10.x it fails in the browser
