Production version with angular 2.2.0 throws runtime errors during bootstrapping

[chpasha]

Please provide us with the following information:

OS?

Windows 7, 8 or 10. Linux (which distribution). Mac OSX (Yosemite? El Capitan?)

Ubuntu 14.04

Versions.

Please run ng --version. If there's nothing outputted, please run in a Terminal: node --version and paste the result here:

angular-cli: 1.0.0-beta.20-4
node: 6.2.0
os: linux x64

Repro steps.

Was this an app that wasn't created using the CLI? What change did you do on your code? etc.

I have fully working project created with cli and using angular 2.1.0 and angular-cli beta 20-4. But after updating to angular 2.2.0 I noticed that the prod version is broken (dev works fine). I don't use aot. Switching back to angular 2.1.2 solves the problem

The log given by the failure.

Normally this include a stack trace and some more information.

Mention any other details that might be useful.

I know you would prefer a project with reproducible error but mine is rather big already and closed source, so I don't know if I'm able to provide the smallest possible code with reproducible error, but maybe you have an Idea what could have broken the prod builds in 2.2.0

Hey guys!

Same error here, when you run your solution in dev environment with "ng serve" it works properly, but when you run it in production environment with "ng serve --prod" I am getting the error message mentioned above.

I am using:
Angular2: 2.2.0
angular-cli: ^1.0.0-beta.20-4
node: v7.1.0

Thanks a lot in advance for any help provided!

Regards.
