Resolved, remove typo import from source code:

import {exitCodeFromResult} from '@angular/compiler-cli';

[snowymike]

yep, i also got that rogue import somehow, and removing it also fixed the problem

[RichardZandi]

i also got this error. it was introduced while i was commenting on my code in app.module.ts. i used the word "build" in a comment and my editor auto imported: import {build} from 'ng-packagr';

which i didn't notice.

removing the import solved the problem.

I also faced same issue due to typo import into the app.module.ts module. after removing it fixed the problem

[Shashidharankrish]

i also got the same error, it was created when i used the word random and counter. it went off when i removed the imported lines.
