I took another stab at this today and modified the angular compiler to fix this for me. I'm not really sure if this would be a proper solution, though.

The offending line appears to be here: https://github.com/dart-lang/angular/blob/f3b7d89ed82261f7e0b534223147c81a515187b3/angular_compiler/lib/src/analyzer/di/injector.dart#L83

As per the documentation, path (which on windows will contain \) will be url encoded. I fixed this locally for me by replacing it with this:

return referTo(new Uri(pathSegments: p.split(relativePath), fragment: to.fragment));

which will only url encode the individual path segments

@ligustah: I patched injector.dart at "C:\Users\HBE\AppData\Roaming\Pub\Cache\hosted\pub.dartlang.org\angular_compiler-0.4.0-alpha+2\lib\src\analyzer\di\injector.dart", but compilation still fails in my case (see https://github.com/dart-lang/angular_components_example/issues/52).

You might need to remove your .pub folder for it to actually recompile everything

[nekrondev]

@ligustah Thanks for the pointer, deleting the .pub cache folder from the project root solved the issue for me and everything compiles now just fine. So your patch is working 👍

Thank you @nekrondev - I'll get this patched.

Good news: This looks fixed in +4, which is yet to be published. We'll do this week.
