Describe the bug

I am seeing the bug as described in https://github.com/aws-amplify/amplify-js/issues/10268.

I have double checked that all of the polyfill settings are being set as defined in https://docs.amplify.aws/start/getting-started/setup/q/integration/angular/.

I can recreate this with just running ng build.

The error goes away if I turn off all optimizations.

The exact error is

Error: Optimization error [main.5f2298ef56d08f8e.js]: ✘ [ERROR] Expected identifier but found "="

    main.5f2298ef56d08f8e.js:61516:5:
      61516 │ var  = __webpack_require__(7592);
            ╵      ^

Expected behavior

I expect the tutorial app to be published

Reproduction steps

I followed exactly the steps in the tutorial.

Thanks for merging and release to npm. I, too, am confirming our (huge) production app can build without the Optimization error.

I got the same Optimization Error a week ago and had spent a few days narrowing down the culprits.

It is from a change in @aws-amplify/predictions > 5.1.6 . which I don’t reference in my Angular 15 code, but is part of the @aws-amplify/ui-angular

You can bypass the problem with the followin in your package.json, until the underlying problem is fixed ( see pull request https://github.com/aws-amplify/amplify-js/pull/11453 )

“overrides”:{ “aws-amplify”: { “@aws-amplify/predictions”: “5.1.6” } },

Can also confirm that deleting node_modules and package-lock.json and running npm install resolves this issue. Seems like an incompatible version of buffer is being included with Angular CLI.

@sparteek91 and @joshuaMarple, can you both check to see if there is another dependency besides aws-amplify that is importing the buffer polyfill (see this comment in issue #10268).

After looking through the angular-cli repo for similar errors, there might be a couple ways we can try to resolve this. Can one of you try deleting your node_modules folder as well as your package-lock.json file, and then reinstalling all dependencies with the npm install command?

Thanks, it solved the issue

hi @joshuaMarple I am also facing the same issue I am using angular v15 “aws-amplify”: “^5.2.4”, “@aws-amplify/ui-angular”: “^3.2.18”, Screenshot from 2023-06-05 00-00-26
