angular-cli: BroccoliTypscriptCompiler error during ng serve

Running ng serve and making a change to a file gives me the following error:

The Broccoli Plugin: [BroccoliTypeScriptCompiler] failed with:

This error does not occur when I kill the serve process and start it again.

I was having the same problem in windows with beta 1 until I ran my command line as administrator. I’m assuming if you’re haveing the problem under linux or osx you can run it as sudo and it would fix it.

@TheOriginalJosh @aboudard it works quit well with run as administrator. Thanks 😃

agriboz on May 30, 2016

Exactly like @TheOriginalJosh : just run the command line as an administrator and the ng serve does run well. Thanks !

aboudard on May 17, 2016

Great ! thanks @victorazevedo

“RUN git bash as ADMINISTRATOR than problem solved”
