Typescript: Module build failed: Error: Debug Failure. False expression.

[jindalrohit]

Angular v4 build is failing and outputs the error below. I am using NodeJS v8.4.0. It did not work even after clearing the cache. I am using following versions

"crypto-js": "^3.1.9-1",
"typescript": "^2.9.1",
angular v4.4.7

    Error: ./node_modules/crypto-js/core.js Module build failed: Error: Debug Failure. False expression.    at

[DanielRosenwasser]

Looks like a duplicate of #24963. Can you try typescript@next?

[jindalrohit]

@DanielRosenwasser It still did not work.

[sandersn]

24997 is a much better solution to the assert you're hitting. I tried compiling crypto-js and succeeded with master (and failed with 2.9.2); can you try with tomorrow's typescript@next?

[rromantp]

@jindalrohit did it finally work somehow?

[mrowles]

I'm getting this with the following in an angular@6 project:

"devDependencies": {
    "@angular-devkit/build-angular": "^0.6.8",
    "@angular-devkit/build-optimizer": "^0.6.8",
    "crypto-js": "^3.1.9-1",
    "typescript": "^2.9.2",
}

Confusing!

[stormit-vn]

I am facing this issue too, for Angular 6.1.x as we have to use TypeScript 2.9.x so we cannot upgrade to the latest version. I also tried with the latest Angular version 7.x and TS 3.1.3 but this issue still occurs.

Waiting for resolutions

[sandersn]

@stormit-vn Can you post your 7.x + 3.1.3 errors on the thread in #24963? (These issues are all duplicates of each other). I can manually compile crypto-js with 3.0 and 3.1, so I wonder whether the assert is getting hit someplace else.
