ng new --skip-git crash-test-dummy
# then edit tsconfig.json and change target to es2015
ng serve
# load served url in browser, note that the app fails to initialise

The log given by the failure.

Exception observed in browser console:

Uncaught TypeError: Cannot convert undefined or null to object

Mention any other details that might be useful.

#7610 made it so that es2015 targets are supported (yay). It achieved that for production builds, but doesn’t seem usable since serve builds are now broken!

Within that PR (#7610), if the changes to packages/@angular/cli/models/webpack-configs/common.ts are instead performed entirely within packages/@angular/cli/models/webpack-configs/production.ts, serve and build work as I expect them to.

Hi! The problem continue with @angular/cli #1.5.0

npm i -g @angular/cli@1.5.0
ng new esnext
# Set tsconfig.json target value as "es2015"
ng build --prod

The web app crash with the following error

ERROR TypeError: Cannot read property '_moduleDoBootstrap' of undefined

any updates??

I see that the workaround for ng serve is to pass along the --aot flag. Is there a workaround for ng test since ng test doesn’t have an --aot flag?

marc-wilson on Sep 28, 2017

Until Angular itself support ES2015 on JIT, what you can do is always run your ES2015 app in AOT mode (ng serve --aot).

It’s unintended that ng serve (without --aot) doesn’t work, will look into it.

filipesilva on Sep 25, 2017

@ghoullier For now you can workaround it by disabling build optimizer ng build --prod --build-optimizer=false. This problem is different than one discussed in this issue, so I created a new one here - https://github.com/angular/angular-cli/issues/8505.

I have a problem when I run ng build: 95% emitting index-html-webpack-pluginEACCES: permission denied, mkdir ‘/Users/itorres/learnangular5/dist’ Error: EACCES: permission denied, mkdir ‘/Users/itorres/learnangular5/dist’

I don’t have a real solution yet but would like to mention a workaround: having multiple applications (https://github.com/angular/angular-cli/wiki/stories-multiple-apps), with different tsconfigs.

This way you can use one for prod builds and another for dev builds. I know it’s not pretty but while JIT doesn’t support es2015 there isn’t a lot that can be done for a real solution.
