Angular AOT Build: Internal error: unknown identifier undefined


My current Angular 2 project started before Angular supported the AOT feature. Now, I’m trying to get it to work. I'm receiving the following error and I've no clue what this means and where I can start to debug the issue:

Has anyone an idea why this error occurs?


Solution

  • I faced the same error in my Angular 6 project.

    when you run "ng build --prod", read the warning messages carefully. In which file it throws warning message (for eg:dataservice.ts).

    then go to that (dataService.ts) file and remove the @Injectable.

    @Injectable({
    providedIn: 'root'
    })
    

    Then try to build again. It works for me.
