Can you try deleting your dist folder, running npm run compile, and then trying again? This looks like an issue with the javascript generated by typescript, and I'd guess that it's not getting fixed automatically because of incremental builds.

[offerm]

Yep, solved.

Maybe npm run compile should clean dist ?

[sangaman]

Yeah, that was the old behavior until typescript introduced incremental builds, but this is not the first time I've had to manually delete the dist folder and .tsbuildinfo file to resolve an issue, so I'm thinking it may not be reliable enough for our purposes.

I'm thinking maybe of turning off incremental builds for the compile script, so it recreates the dist folder entirely every time it's run, and then having a compile:dev script that can be used for dev purposes to have faster compile times for faster testing and debugging.

I like the idea.
