without aot all good

[kunl]

The same error

[Kupstas]

The same error + ERROR in MainModule is not an NgModule

[Codenator81]

@kunl and @Kupstas try update compiler-cli to 2.4.0. As you see my error different after that. I think it is now more related to Firebase?

[Kupstas]

@Codenator81 I'm using only Clarity. Update has no effect for me

[oliviercherrier]

Same error here... without aot.

@antonybudianto mentioned in #3761 that this is likely related to angularfire2.

[antonybudianto]

For my case:

• Doing JIT build seems fine (either using ngtools/webpack with codegeneration disabled or using template+router loaders) and app running well
• Doing AOT build fails
  • Successful after upgrade angularfire2 to beta.7-pre, look Latest release not AOT compatible angularfire#728
  • but only the build succeed, the app is throwing error on runtime, looks like AOT did something to my constant exports that my config values are undefined when accessed by angularfire2

I was seeing something similar to your original error, and my versions were similar to yours (almost all the @angular packages at 2.4.1, but @angular/compiler-cli at 2.3.1. (My guess is that, when updating, I missed the compiler-cli reference in packages.json because it's in the devDependencies section.) I updated @angular/compiler-cli to 2.4.1, and the problem went away. FWIW...

[Codenator81]

I remove angularfire2 and moved to MongoDb then worked as needed, so this related to angularfire2
my repo https://github.com/Codenator81/tour-of-heroes-mongodb

Got the same error compiling aot, and im NOT using angularfire2 - not that i know of anyway.

Any pointers to fix this is highly appreciated.
