angular-cli: webpack AOT @ngtools throws error

While doing AOT bundle Results below error at file path

d:\xyz\angular2-lazyr\node_modules@ngtools\webpack\src\plugin.js:167 if (request.request.match(/.ts$/)) { ^

// Virtual file system.
        compiler.resolvers.normal.plugin('resolve', function (request, cb) {
            if (request.request.match(/\.ts$/)) {
                _this.done.then(function () { return cb(); });
            }
            else {
                cb();
            }
        });

Below is AOT webpack config


plugins: require('./../webpack/plugins').concat([
        new ngtools.AotPlugin({
            tsConfigPath: helpers.root('tsconfig.aot.json'),
            entryModule: helpers.root('src/app/app.module#AppModule')
        }),

Same thing for “webpack”: “^2.2.0-rc.4” and “@ngtools/webpack”: “^1.2.1”.

When we can expect our ‘christmas present’? 👍

Having the same problem using the following versions:

"@ngtools/webpack": "1.2.1",
"webpack": "2.2.0-rc.3"

I’m getting the same issue with Webpack R.C.3. As a temporally solution I cloned the angular-cli repo and ran a local build then copied @ng-tools and pasted on my node_modules folder, that fixed the problem. But I was expecting to see a smaller size of the app.js and actually it is heavier. Is this ok?

Thank you for your answer. Any possible date for new release 😃?

Having same problem as @jpgcode with Webpack 2.2.0-rc.3, why is this closed?

kukjevov on Jan 4, 2017

this is not issue with webpack 2, it is with “webpack”: “1.13.0”,
