Can you please provide the source for the app module? Or even better a small project that shows this problem happening?

Also, do you have the same issue if you use NPM 6.x?

Thanks a lot.

Just finished fixing one of these...In my case, someone had copied one component to another folder (in a different module). So, I've ended with:
/drivers/driver.component.ts (included in driver.module.ts)
...
/user/driver.component.ts (no included in any module)~

Interestingly, the error msg said that /drivers/driver.component.ts wasn't associated to any module (instead of /user/drivers,component.ts)...

If you can provide us with a repo we can look at, we might be able to help. The error by itself doesn't tell me much though.

I have deleted my existing module from angular js 2 then it will be raise this kind of error.

[sw-tt-tarunvarma]

Ok. I got the solutions please restart your app. if you delete any existing module in your app.

Thank you for your wonderful responses and fixes.

In NG4 beta+ && Node 7+. aot runs splendidly including lazily-loaded modules. The performance is phenomenal (see below for versions used). Can't image how much better it can get when I top it up with Service workers and Universal.
