BroccoliTypscriptCompiler error during ng serve

[0x-r4bbit]

Running ng serve and making a change to a file gives me the following error:

The Broccoli Plugin: [BroccoliTypeScriptCompiler] failed with:

This error does not occur when I kill the serve process and start it again.

[0x-r4bbit]

I should add that this only appears when ng serve threw a TS compiler error anyway.

So when there's a TS error, and I fix it, I get the error mentioned above

[jkuri]

Also for me. @hansl is aware of that issue.

[jp5486]

I am having the same issue except the error is still persisting after attempting to serve again

I'm getting the same behavior upon fixing a bug, except I get:

Error: Trying to add a new entry to an already existing one:

I have an open stackoverflow question with more details. Resetting the server does work for me.

A problem deleting old files like this prior ticket?

[vt5491]

I upgraded to watchman as recommended under the ember-cli web site to see if this would fix the problem. Unfortunately, it did not.

So the problem happens with NodeWatcher and Watchman.

I also tried the emacs lockfile fixes as recommended under the ember-cli site, but no effect here either.

I am running Linux mint 17.3.

The problem is also reproducible for me under windows 10.

[vt5491]

Since this problem was really bugging me -- to the point where I just couldn't work with angular-cli anymore, I just looked at the stack trace and basically zapped the code to ignore these problems. I've been using it for several hours now, and everything seems to work fine. I would think a real fix would be about figuring out why it's trying to use duplicate files, but here's what I did anyway:

1. edit module
   node_modules/angular-cli/lib/broccoli/broccoli-typescript.js

2. edit method _addNewFileEntry like so (altered code marked by my initials 'vt'):

 _addNewFileEntry(entry) {
    const p = path.join(this.inputPaths[0], entry.relativePath);
    if (this._fileRegistry[p]) {
      //vt add
      console.log("vt.broccoli-typescript.js: intercepting dupicate entry error for" + p);
      //vt end
      //vtthrow new Error('Trying to add a new entry to an already existing one: ' + p);
    }

3. edit method _outputFile:

_outputFile(absoluteFilePath, fileContent, registry) {
absoluteFilePath = path.resolve(this.cachePath, absoluteFilePath);
// Replace the input path by the output.
absoluteFilePath = absoluteFilePath.replace(this.inputPaths[0], this.cachePath);
const outputFilePath = absoluteFilePath.replace(this.cachePath, this.outputPath);

if (registry) {
  registry.outputs.add(absoluteFilePath);
}

fse.mkdirsSync(path.dirname(absoluteFilePath));
const content = this.fixSourceMapSources(fileContent);
fs.writeFileSync(absoluteFilePath, content, FS_OPTS);

//vt add
try {
//vt end
  fse.mkdirsSync(path.dirname(outputFilePath));
  fs.linkSync(absoluteFilePath, outputFilePath);
//vt add
}
catch (e) {
  console.log('_outputFile: caught error ' + e);
}
//vt end
}

A full output log now looks like:

Note the Build Successful message at the end, instead of having to hit Ctrl-C and cycle the server. Once you get the condition, you always seem to get it e.g it seems to keep using the same tmp files over and over (?)

@vt5491 thanks for this, but IMO this is complex enough to let @hansl do the work. He rewrote the whole broccoli-typescript.js about a week ago and knows how things are in compiler. Since there's a really lousy docs about TS compiler or even not existent please wait, I think the patch is coming soon.

That's good news. Looking forward to the official patch.
