Current behavior Up to ng 4.0.1 / cli 1.0 all was great upg to 4.1 and 1.1 and now I am getting

Uncaught ReferenceError: require is not defined
  (anonymous function)	
  (anonymous function)	
  webpackJsonp.25.module.exports	
  732	
  __webpack_require__	
  1658	
  __webpack_require__	
  webpackJsonpCallback	
  (anonymous function)

Looking at the stack won’t help much:

module.exports = function(src) {
	if (typeof execScript !== "undefined")
		execScript(src);
	else
		eval.call(null, src);
}



//////////////////
// WEBPACK FOOTER
// ./~/script-loader/addScript.js
// module id = 25
// module chunks = 11

let me add that everything works, but getting this annoying message at runtime.

Expected behavior no error

Minimal reproduction of the problem with instructions You can see the issue with this project: https://github.com/born2net/studio-lite

git clone https://github.com/born2net/studio-lite.git

@born2net I tried installing your example, running ng serve -o, and I saw this error:

VM536:9 Uncaught ReferenceError: require is not defined
    at eval (eval at webpackJsonp.7.module.exports (addScript.js:9), <anonymous>:9:9)
    at eval (eval at webpackJsonp.7.module.exports (addScript.js:9), <anonymous>:543:4)

    at __webpack_require__ (bootstrap ea9a8b2…:52)
    at webpackJsonpCallback (bootstrap ea9a8b2…:23)
    at scripts.bundle.js:1

Then I changed the CLI dependency from "@angular/cli": "^1.0.1", to "@angular/cli": "1.0.0",, reinstalled everything, and I saw the same error on the browser.

This tells me that the error is not related to the CLI itself, but rather something in your application. I noticed there’s a service worker running, remember to disable it if you want to see up to date results.

Also, next time when you wish to present a bug please do take the time to make a very simple repro to show it. https://github.com/born2net/cli-filipesilva has over 90 dependencies… it’s very hard to try and discern if an error is due to your application or to the build system.

A good way to make a simple repro is to make a brand new application via ng new repro-app, and then add the minimum possible to see the error.
