This was an issue with Typescript 2.7.2. Reverting back to 2.6.2 fixed it.

This was an issue with Typescript 2.7.2. Reverting back to 2.6.2 fixed it.

I downgraded from 2.7.2 to 2.6.2 for other reasons and that's when this issue showed up for me.

I can confirm the same. I got this error when trying to use the CLI approach described in here https://github.com/ngx-translate/http-loader

I just downgraded to 2.6.2 and it's now solved!
