Desired functionality
No errors
Details: This started when Angular 7 was released. Unfortunately I wasn’t able to find much information about this issue. Neither on Stackoverflow nor in the issue trackers. Well at least not since the release of Angular 7

Getting the same error with angular-cli 8.3.0 trying to set up angular universal.
First step in the guide says to run:
ng add @nguniversal/express-engine --clientProject <angular-project>Doing that seems to install @nguniversal/express-engine properly, but then I get:
Cannot read property 'kind' of undefined@harshsyno The problem is, this still happens when I tried adding my old components/modules to a completely new project using the latest angular-cli 😐
Still having this issue. It’s so annoying
Let us know (in a new issue) if you hit this issue again and you notice a pattern for reproduction.
What’s the reason to close this issue. It seems to me this is not resolved at all.
@myWorkingGithub, @izzeda, @shripadgodse, @dsldiesel Kindly Stop compiler with cntr+c & Recompile entire project. This will end the error.
Please solution! This error appears randomly when updating a ts file that imports swal!!!
I am getting this issue as well despite updates and making sure that local/global cli are same version
@jer-tx , I had the same problem.
What helped to me was to delete both “node_modules” and “package-lock.json”. Then I run the command
ng add @nguniversal/express-engine --clientProject <angular-project>and it complained about missing node modules. I installed them manually one by one (only what was really necessary) . And finally it worked! After that you can re-install everything else bynpm run iSimply stop application and execute “npm install” again. It fixed my issue.
Ok. I’ll migrate my project to a new one - wanted to re-work the design anyway. If I notice something I’ll report here.
The error is just annoying. As @djleonskennedy said recompiling fixes it
We’d need a bit more to look into this for example a code snippet that is causing this error.
If you instrument the
checkSourceFilefunction intypescript.jsto printnode.pathon entry, you can at least check what file started the chain of operations that led to the crash. Typescript don’t have any builtin functionality for tracking checker crashes.
