Repro steps.

it's the same bug as in the following link but now happens only on prod mode:
Issue: angular/angular#12631
Fix: angular/angular#14894

I have a constructor that uses @Inject to get a dependency, and references an interface as type, constructor( @Inject(Document) private document: Document).

What is the current behavior? (You can also link to an open issue here)

When I run ng build --prod, I get this error:

ERROR in Error encountered resolving symbol values statically. Could not resolve type Document (position 26:88 in the original .ts file), resolving symbol OptimizationTable in E:/dev/WorkPlace/web/js/src/myApp-fa/src/app/site/modules/+optimization/table/optimizationTable.component.ts

ERROR in ./src/main.ts
Module not found: Error: Can't resolve './$$_gendir/app/app.module.ngfactory' in 'E:\dev\WorkPlace\web\js\src\myApp\src'
@ ./src/main.ts 5:0-74
@ multi ./src/main.ts

when changed to:
constructor( @Inject(Document) private document: any) it works

What is the new behavior?

would expect to be able to reference an interface in a constructor in conjunction with @Inject.

So from what I understand. TS Interfaces can't be used as provider Tokens because they are a build time construct only and don't exist at runtime.

it's an angular bug angular/angular#15640
