Current behavior I have module A. I run npm link in that folder. I have module B. I run 'npm link A` in that folder. I import module A into module B. Webpack build runs without errors. But I get error in the Chrome: compiler.umd.js?9df7:14126 Uncaught Error: Unexpected value ‘A’ imported by the module ‘B’

Expected behavior It should import module without errors.

@darkedges , please see this one: https://github.com/angular/angular/issues/11834

My work around was to

  1. remove node_modules, typings folders from a linked module folder
  2. move my linked module folder to node_modules folder of parent module
  3. start webpack

Also we had some issues with tslint config file so I re-named it to tslint.conf.json in the linked module.
