Current behavior When I execute ng-xi18n, I get the following:

TypeError: Cannot read property ‘kind’ of undefined at maybeGetSimpleFunction (C:\SL\src\Clientnode_modules@angular\tsc-wrapped\src\collector.js:34:41) at C:\SL\src\Clientnode_modules@angular\tsc-wrapped\src\collector.js:242:41 at visitEachNode (C:\SL\src\Clientnode_modules\typescript\lib\typescript.js:8247:30) at Object.forEachChild (C:\SL\src\Clientnode_modules\typescript\lib\typescript.js:8407:24) at MetadataCollector.getMetadata (C:\SL\src\Clientnode_modules@angular\tsc-wrapped\src\collector.js:204:12) at ReflectorHost.getMetadataFor (C:\SL\src\Clientnode_modules@angular\compiler-cli\src\reflector_host.js:224:43) at StaticReflector.getModuleMetadata (C:\SL\src\Clientnode_modules@angular\compiler-cli\src\static_reflector.js:484:40) at Extractor.readFileMetadata (C:\SL\src\Clientnode_modules@angular\compiler-cli\src\extract_i18n.js:50:51) at C:\SL\src\Clientnode_modules@angular\compiler-cli\src\extract_i18n.js:87:74 at Array.map (native) Extraction failed

Expected behavior At least a better error message, or an actual xlif output.

Reproduction of the problem I do not have a simple repro. At least understanding what the problem could be would help.

What is the motivation / use case for changing the behavior?
